My wife decided that she wanted a flat iron hair straightener and she thought this model looked the best. When she got it and used it for the first time she was very excited. It was easy to use and she got professional results doing it herself. I have included a video on the product and show the before and after results on her hair. (Please don't make fun of her before hair photo)
My wife used the temperature setting between 2/3 and 3/4 of fully turned on all the way.
The model has some very good features and it really is a high quality product. Just a couple of issues you should be aware of:
1. If you plug in the flat iron and it will not come on, press the reset switch on the cord circuit breaker to reset it.
2. The unit does not have an automatic shut off timer so make sure you turn it off or unplug it. If you have children I would unplug it and store it properly away after it was cooled off.
Please take the time to watch the video and I hope it is of benefit to you.

This came in a timely fashion. The extras (glove, oil, pouch) much appreciated. I almost sent it back though because I couldn't get it to turn on. I gave up and set it aside for a couple days. Then decided to give it one more shot. The reset button was hard to press. But once I got it going it heated up very fast and my hair stayed straight for two days after. Love the swivel cord too! I recommend!

After my straightener for the last five years finally gave its last croak a few weeks ago, I was in the market for a new straightener. Because of its reputation, I assumed I was going to get a CHI, but decided to look around a little first and came across this bad boy. After looking at all the positive reviews and awesome price I decided to give this baby a chance. I am so happy I did! The straightener works way better than my old one ever did, the black handles and black plates give it a very sleek and attractive appearance, and it even comes in its own red satin-y lined black box which makes it feel like pulling a sacred relic straight from Dracula's coffin. I would recommend getting some of the Argan oil too. I decided to try it out the sample first before I bought a bottle and I should have just bought it then. It makes my hair sleek and soft like a kitten.
TLDR: Highly recommend this product, don't waste your money on a more expensive straightener because this one is awesome.
Honest reviews on HSI PROFESSIONAL 1 CERAMIC TOURMALINE IONIC FLAT IRON HAIR
I ordered this flat iron for my little sister who has really thick hair and I'm not exaggerating when I say her hair is thick. Her hair is that in-between straight/wavy. Her old flat iron took nearly 2 hours to "straighten" her hair. Really, it didn't make much of a difference. After a few hours out in the southern weather her hair was back to a frizzy mess. So, I decided to surprise her with a new one.I was really impressed by the quality of the straightener even before we used it. It's really well made and the argan oil that's included smells incredible! (I just ordered a full size bottle.) You also get a glove to protect your hand from the heat. (It was way too big for either of us, but we have really tiny hands.) The plates on the iron are wide, but not too wide. It's the perfect width, in my opinion. It's comfortable to hold. It's not too heavy, but it's not lightweight and cheap-feeling either. And it has a swivel cord to prevent the cord from tangling.
I set the heat near the middle of the temperature control knob. I'm guessing it was just a little over 300F. We put the argan oil in while we let the iron heat up. (It heats quickly!) It takes only a couple of drops. Just rub it on your palms and spread it through your hair. It makes the hair so smooth and gives it a nice sheen, without looking oily. And it smells so good! I could go on all day about the argan oil itself. I really love that stuff. :) Some reviews state that the iron didn't stay hot, but ours did. It took less than 30 minutes to straighten her hair and it came out pin straight. She walked around the house for the rest of the night grinning from ear to ear and playing with her hair. We were outside for 2-3 hours in the 80+ degree, humid weather and her hair remained straight and frizz free. Her dad also commented that her hair looked healthier.
I tried the straightener out myself the following night. I have fine, blonde hair that's easily damaged by any type of heating tool. My hair is straight, but on this particular evening I woke up with slight waves. I just really wanted to try the straightener on my hair. It only took about 10 minutes for me. I've only used a straightener on my own hair a couple of times before, but this iron is so much easier to use than any other one I've tried. I used the lowest heat setting and it worked perfectly.
Then, the night after that I used it to put curls in my ponytail. It took me few tries to get it right, but it made some really cute barrel curls. They were barely there after a night of work, but I didn't use any other styling products to hold the curls in just the argan oil and iron.
I have nothing bad to say about this flat iron. It exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it. Just be careful where you sit it while you're using it or while it's cooling down, because it gets hot. The handle itself doesn't get hot, but the plates certainly do. We use the carrying pouch to rest it on while doing our hair then place it inside the pouch while it's cooling down. You could go ahead and buy a full size bottle of the argan oil, because you're going to fall in love with it. It doubles as a thermal protectant and leaves your hair looking smooth and healthy.

The only reasons I bought this flat iron was because the price was right only $44.23 and the reviews were great. For $44 I thought it would be worth the risk of not knowing the manufacturer to go ahead and get this since it is a professional flat iron. I had been using a Chi iron. After reading several reviews on Amazon about how others had a CHI that broke, I thought it might be a good idea for me to get this as a backup in case my own CHI breaks soon. Now my old CHI is the backup and the HSI is my main one!
This HSI flat iron is great. The features I love:
-Adjustable temperature control
-Swiveling cord so no tangles/twists
-Plastic behind the heated plates does not get too hot so I can grab that part when I need to
-Both straightens and curls my hair
-Smooth plates, nicely constructed so my hair doesn't get caught up in it and pulled out
I have very thick, curly hair and this flat iron does a quick job straightening my hair. i would recommend this product and would buy an HSI again if I had the need.
