I realized that most girls would spend lots of money on hair flat iron...I just wanted to put in my 2 cents about flat irons and what my knowledge of it is. here goes...
1) most hair flat iron (including chi, corioliss, sedu) have HIGH level of defective rate around 10% imagine.....10 out of every 100 hair flat iron is defective....it can be defective one month after you purchase it or after the warranty runs out. either way it is a hassle to call the company and get another. Also a waste of money if it becomes defective after the warranty runs out.
2) Almost all, and i can say with confidence, of hair flat iron does NOT keep its temperature. Do you guys notice how the first few pieces of hair you iron is nice but after a couple of pieces the results just does not seem as good? This is due to the fact that once you start using the hair flat iron, the temperature does not keep up. You would have to wait for it to heat up again and then start flat iron again.
3) Your hair flat iron probably does not heat up in 9 sec. or how many ever sec. it say it will. It takes the thing more than couple of seconds to heat up...when they say it heat up in 9 sec. they meant heat up to the lowest temperature possible. Again, when it reaches it's highest temperature..it does not maintain it
4) The hair flat iron you buy.... lets say you purchase a CHI, it is the SAME exact thing as some of the stuff they sell at sally beauty supply for 1/2 the price. It is the same exact manufacture and they just put a different lable on it and call it CHI or whatever the buyer's company name is.
HOW DO I KNOW ALL OF THIS?
my bf's family owns a hair flat iron manufactuer. he makes KINSEI, most of you guys probably dont know what it is but he sells his hair flat iron to some of the major hair companies in the US and Europe. I'm sure your hair stylist at a salon used one on you or you have probably purchased on that he has manufactured. His hair flat iron has 0% defective rate.....and ALSO, heats up in couple of secs and actually maintains the temperature.
my personal experience....
Before I met my bf....(3 years ago) i was using a corioliss....When i first bought i was extremely excited. It worked wonderful on my hair but after a couple of months I realized that it took longer and longer for it to heat up and also the results were just not that great. My hair hardly looked like it was ironed and looked extremely dry. I got it cut thinking it would be better, didnt change a thing. Soon, I gave up flat ironing my hair. My $100 Corioliss just sat there after only 4 months of use. THen I met my bf and he immediately gave me his hair flat iron.....Oh my GOSH......It heated up instantly, no waiting...and the results were phenomenal!!!! my hair was the healthiest looking ever.....I used it almost every single day and even to this day after 2 years of having it. I STILL get awesome results. I have never used it to the highest temperature which is 450 F. One time i accidently ran my finger on the plate after 2 secs of turning it on and i burned my finger...it wasnt a bad burn but it got red and I had to put some burn cream on it. My hair stylist even complimented on my hair and he bought one and now uses it on all his clients. He also sells them at his salon, and he sells a ton of them. This thing is awesome!!! Im the type of person that if I experience something great, I want to share it to everyone who can benefit. It prevents others from wasting time and money. This is def. one of those things....It is TRULY the best hair flat iron out there. Kinsei has done many many tests on other flat irons including the CHI and has found that their flat iron out ranked all of them. This is why their company is booming......even paul mitchell wanted to buy Kinsei's hair flat iron and put his label one it. :rockwoot:
Anyways, I hope this has helped you guys. Even if you guys dont think about purchasing a kinsei, I hope the information i provided will help you make a right decision~~ and if you have any questions or would like to know where to purchase one please dont hesitate to ask.
