9 Best Flat Irons

Not for me
I have very thick, frizzy, long and unmanageable hair. This worked fine for straightening it, but my hair would turn frizzy again within an hour. It would probably work better for someone with finer hair. I never used this when my hair was wet; I always blow dried it beforehand. Works fine on dry and slightly damp settings, but I hear that it's terrible on wet settings. The plates got dirty really fast and it would give my hair static occasionally.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Good
The same cautions apply to this as the slim version, but I found this more difficult to work with, even with long thick hair. I found my hair got caught in the plates and heat was not uniformly distributed across the plates.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Very Durable
I recommend not using this on actually wet hair, it's better on damp, best on dry. It does okay on wet hair but you have to go over a section around 3 times to make sure it's fully dry & straightened. The biggest reason I say don't use it on wet or damp hair is that that is terrible for your hair. It leads to breakage, frizz, & icky split ends. Wet hair is really fragile even if you have healthy h...read moreair but especially if you have hair with any damage or chemical treatments & using hot tools on them is just too damaging. On dry hair, it does a great job straightening and keep frizz at bay. I bought when I was in the eighth grade. I'm now in college and still have that same iron & it still heats up just as well today as it did years ago.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 7 people said helpful
