Fahrenheit - Heat Wave - Flat Iron (Zebra)

I received this flat iron as a gift from my best friend and I'm in love with it. I've had a flat iron a few years back, though it did the job, it left my hair feeling thicker and damaged. With this flat iron, my hair feels smooth and soft; it felt as if I hadn't even used the iron on it!

My hair can be considered thin; I'm Chinese, and Chinese girls have somewhat fine to thin hair. So, when I use this, I don't use the maximum heat level. It doesn't say the exact temperature of the heat because it's like one of those knobs where it just shows the lowest and the highest. My setting is around the middle, so the temperature should be around 250degrees; highest is 450 and lowest is 140. I tried using higher temperature but I don't like the feeling of my hair super hot.

Also, I use this to dry my hair in the middle of the night. Sometimes when I get home late and shower really late, I use this instead of a hair dryer to dry my hair; because hair dryers are loud and this is quiet. Even though I've used this on damp hair, my hair wasn't fried to a crisp. I set the temperature slightly less than the middle, so it was about 1/4th from 140degrees. Another reason that I love this flat iron.

Though there are a few Pro's about this flat iron, there are a few Con's as well.

Pros:

Quick heat up; takes about 30 seconds to heat up

Light indicator on the side

Smooth and easy to glide through hair

Long power cord

Swivel cord; makes it less likely to tangle up & won't rip if you wrap the cord around the iron

Leaves hair soft and smooth

Adds a bit of shine to my hair (personally it did)

Cons:

Tugs my hair a bit at the ends

Hard to curl hair with

The end of the iron (where the swivel cord is) can clip onto your skin (I've done that...it hurts a lot)

Back of the iron (where the zebra patterns are) gets heated

Takes long to cool off

I hope you guys found this review helpful(:

Im not gonna lie I have only used it once, but being from a Nigerian/Caribbean background my hair is VERY kinky, and pretty long as well! Someone recently bought me this straightener as a graduation gift, and I used it on MEDIUM setting and was able to straighten my hair in a matter of 30-40 minutes. Even at the hair salon it takes them an hour and a half just to get it looking this way. It bounces and is extremely silky, and no one would ever believe I have kinky hair! Its insane! I usually buy those 15 dollar Conair ones but you definitely get what you pay for. I am so happy with my Zebra flat iron! [=

Pros:

Pretty

Heats up extremely quickly

Locks in hair's natural oils, so it makes your look extremely glossy.

Cons

Takes about 5 minutes to cool down, which is definitely NO BIGGIE

I bought my Fahrenheit Titanium at TJMaxx for $30. I have very naturally curly crazy frizzy hair I was very skeptical because I have never spent so little on an Iron before. I had my CHI for 8 years and it worked great, I loved it, then the cord broke and I needed a new iron fast. I did a little research and decided I wanted a Titanium iron but couldn't afford a Babyliss (which is the best) so I picked this one up. I went straight to my friend's house and plugged in her brand new CHI ultra and my new Fahrenheit. My Fahrenheit heated up faster than the CHI. We then decided to do a one pass test with each iron. The CHI did the job but could use a couple more passes, but my Fahrenheit sealed the deal with one pass and left it softer and more shinny that the CHI. I like that you can change the heat setting and the non-slip grip will help me from dropping it. I also like that it has a small plug so I can have two styling tools plugged in at one time. BUY THIS FLAT IRON.... It's worth it!!!!!

After first use, the plates fell out. Should have known better and returned it, but didn't want the hassle. So now the plate cracked and the crap company (Cortex USA)says I have to pay $25 for shipping to replace a defective product!! And then they are cocky about it! Buy something else from another company and save yourself the hassle!

I would not recommend this straightener! I bought this probably 6 months ago and although it still works great it is burning my hair, splitting, and frying!! I would not recommend this product, go with a GVP if your trying to get a cheap good straightener!
