Pros: fast heat up, stays hot, curved edges, long cord.
Cons: only one heat setting.
The Bottom Line: The Isinis 1" Straightener is great for anyone with hair that doesn't respond well to $40 straighteners that you can pick up at Walmart!

| pinkskittle's Full Review: Isinis 1" Flat Iron |
I requested that this product be added a long time ago, but finally got around to writing the review!
I used to have this terrible Conair straightener that was useless on my thick and wavy hair. I decided if I wanted my hair to be the way it is right after getting it professionally styled, then I'd have to get a professional straightener.
I stopped in at a hair salon and was told that this was the straightener that all the stylists there used. I figured it was probably a good tool.
I paid my $130 (Canadian) for it 8 months ago and haven't regretted it yet. This straightener isn't "ionic" and possibly not ceramic, either. It's still great though!
Why I like it
- long cord (6 feet or so).
- super fast heating time (3 minutes).
- stays hot during use.
- had curved edges for flipping/waving hair.
- hot enough to straighten my long, wavy, thick hair in 15 minutes.
- It tames my hair... it's so thick normally and straightening it thins it out.
What I don't like about it
- You can't adjust the heat setting. It's either off or on.
- The price. I know GOOD straighteners can run up to $200US (I'm sure there are some that cost more), but I really found it hard to spend 130 Canadian on a styling tool.
Comparing to another straightener I used, which I spent $20 Canadian on, the Conair Shiny Straight... it would take me at least 30 minutes to heat it up (I've known women who have let their straighteners heat up overnight!). It would take me at least 30 minutes to straighten my hair, and then it wasn't even that straight. So, hopefully you can understand my happiness with my new Isinis 1" straightener.
