Use this hot tools flat iron for almost 5 years.

I bought this hot tools flat iron in spring of 2005. Almost 5 years later, it is equally important that the day I bought it. It heats in 2-3 minutes, and two large ceramic surfaces so you can straighten a lot of hair at one time. My hair is very thin and not very curly to begin with, but I have a lot of it, and it takes me less than 5 minutes to straighten my hair with this tool. My hair comes out very straight and very smooth and shiny. The purple coloring on the faces have faded over the years, but never in my hair. The plastic tips are is to get a good grip on your hair while you work your way down. My hair has never been burned or torn by this tool all the time I got it. It works for me and it was worth the investment of $ 50 several years ago!

I use it daily and it always works as well today as it did the first day. The only thing you need to pay attention to what the hottest setting is really hot! Be careful, you do not press your hair too long and burn your hair. average position is sufficient for most hair.
