Customer Reviews
Convenient and a Great Value Too
UPDATE: After a few uses, the Conair no longer worked as well. It still does an okay job, but I find myself looking longingly at the Chi flat irons whenever I pass a display. If I flat-iron in the morning, it doesn't get perfectly sleek by a long shot, although it looks a lot better than before. And it requires touch-ups by evening. With my other flat iron, my hair would still be pretty good even the next morning. It also snags my hair if I'm not careful. I still love the convenience of the two-in-one, though.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I have extremely thick, coarse, very wavy (almost curly) hair--definitely a challenge for any flat iron. Prior to this curling/straightening iron, I owned a $150 Wet-to-Dry T3 Tourmaline flat iron (see my review), a $50 Jilbere flat iron, and a run-of-the-mill drugstore curling iron. The Conair does as good a job at straightening and smoothing my hair as the T3 or the Jilbere. Once I flat iron it, it stays so nice and smooth the next day it doesn't even require a minor touch up.
I actually like the Conair better than the T3 or the Jilbere, because no matter how careful I was, the T3 was terrible at pulling my hair, and the Jilbere, while better, still caught the stray hair now and then. I have never gotten a hair snagged by the Conair. And I love having one less hair appliance/cord and one less cord cluttering my counter. I also really like that it has an auto turn off for forgetful people like me. It is slightly more wieldy than a flat iron or curling iron alone, but that's almost always the case when you get a 2-in-1 anything. I think it's mainly due to having to account for the rounded outer shape when straightening. You have to hold it a little farther away from your scalp. I can't think how they could've made it easier, though, while still keeping the 2-in-1 design.
It's easy to switch back and forth between curling iron and straightener. The power light and temp control are right on the front, so I can tell at a glance whether it's on or not. With the other flat irons, I had to look between the plates to see the light. One small nitpick is that I wish I could set the temp and it would default to the same temp everytime I turn it on. As it is, I have to turn it up every time.
But the Conair is an amazing bargain. For less than $30 and to have the convenience of a curling iron / straightener in one, I am highly impressed. I would happily buy it again at twice the cost, and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
VERY PLEASED WITH ITEM
I ORDERED THIS ITEM FOR MY TEENAGED DAUGHTER AS ONE OF HER MANY XMAS GIFTS. SHE TOTALLY LOVED THIS CURLING IRON. NOT ONLY IS IT A CURLING IRON BUT A HAIR STRAIGHTENER AS WELL. IT IS VERY WELL MADE OF CERAMIC. IVE NEVER SEEN A CURLING IRON SO WELL-MADE. HAS AN EXTRA LONG CORD FOR MOVING AROUND! ID RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!
It's worth every single penny!
I have tough, thick curly hard-to-manage hair, but this product does an amazing job as both straightener and curling iron.
It makes my hair silky and shiny. I can style my hair exactly the way I want. It has 5 heat levels, and it's heated super fast.
I just love this product and want to recommend it to everyone.
