HairArt H3000 Tourmaline Ceramic Straightening Iron, 1 3/8"

So, being as lazy as I am, flat ironing my hair used to be just an annoying chore. My old flat iron either burned my hair because it was too hot, or just made it frizzy by not being hot enough. Since I have Ethnic hair, going without flattening it for too long will make me look like someone rubbed a balloon across my scalp. So I had to deal with burning my hair for months before I found this flat iron.Ladies and gents. This will be the ONLY flat iron you will ever need in your life. I wish I were exaggerating, but I would buy this for everyone in the world if I could.PROS:1. It literally glides across your hair. You don't need to grip the iron tightly or tug.2. It gets VERY hot, but I doubt anyone would ever need for it to be on max. My hair is practically an afro after a shampoo, and the iron flattens my hair to near silk at usually only 350 degrees.3. It works on any hair type! I have relaxed and colored Ethnic hair. My mom has a mix of Ethnic and Native American hair. I've used this iron on her hair, as well as my friends who vary from Caucasian hair to natural Ethnic hair. Just change the heat settings accordingly, it it works like a charm.4. The price is a bargain. I've gone through 4 or 5 irons in the past 3 years. Considering I paid between $15-$30 for each, I wasted so much money. Ladies and gents, I know times are tough and money can be hard to come by, but if you're in the need for a new iron, don't settle for a cheapo one from the local drug store. Save up a bit of extra cash and invest in a high quality iron that will last you!5. It replaces a regular curling iron and is very versatile. My hair never took to curls well. They would last maybe a few hours then get really limp. This iron alone can give you a numerous amounts of salon-quality hairstyles with a bit of practice. It curls VERY well, and the curls lasted me for a week before I shampooed my hair again. They did fall limp after the third day, but with some hair spray, I'm sure they would last much longer. Also is really good for feathering your hair. My mom wraps her hair into a "beehive" style before bed, so she curls her hair with this iron and it helps with wrapping her hair before bed (if any of you wrap your hair at night, this is a plus!).6. The size of the iron is very ideal. I have very tiny hands (I actually have to wear children sized jewelry). In the picture, the iron looks really long and bulky, but the iron is made out of some kind of material that won't make the iron slip from your hands easily. And even though it's one of the smaller sizes of the H3000 series, it shouldn't take very long to iron unless you have absurdly long hair~ I would personally love to own a larger size iron, but this one is perfect.CONS:1. I'm not sure if my auto-turn off feature works. I left my iron on the bathroom counter when I had to go take care of a small emergency with my dog. When I came back almost 30min later, it was still ON. Nothing on the counter was burned since I had a pad underneath it, but it may be something worth looking at (I may just be the only one with this problem).2. The smell of the iron was...odd. It's not really a huge issue, it's just that when I unpacked the iron, it had a very strange "old" smell to it. Like it had been sitting in a musty, moldy garage for some time. I just wiped off the iron and the smell gradually went away, but it was just weird at first.Anywho~ That's all I have to say about this iron! I highly recommend this to anyone in dire need of a new one. Also, there are several women on YouTube who make regular hair tutorials using the HairArt H3000. That's actually how I found this one. Give them a look! You have to see it to believe it~

I love this straightener. I worked at a salon for years using fancier straighteners and I always come back to buying this one.

As a professional licensed hairstylist of over 25years this has been the best flatiron I have used hands down. It has outlasted all of my expensive irons and silken the hair the best(other than Marcel flatirons) O have dropped this flatiron over 100 times and it still worked. Up until that last time I dropped it it broke. But I was still able to use it broke and all until the day it finally played out.( my fault I am rough) buying another soon as I get done leaving this review. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

I normally love this brand flat iron because it heats quickly, minimizes heat damage to curl pattern with ceramic plates and has a beautiful weight for silk results but this is the second one I’ve bought within one year! Usually this lasts me two years but both flat irons from the same vendor have gone out. The first in less than a year and the current iron in less than two months. I thought it was because I was wrapping up my cord on the previous iron but I haven’t wrapped my current iron AT ALL and it has been exuding the exact same shortage issues as the last iron. I haven’t dropped them, I couldn’t imagine the issue so soon into a purchase and I wasn’t questioning the quality of the vendor until now! I’m an almost 10 year licensed stylists and have been using thing brand the entire time! I’ve never had this issue until the two irons I’ve had and I refuse to continue to purchase the same iron and risk this issue again! Luckily I have multiple irons but not with the same shape and I’m upset because I use these specifically for straightening and feathering.

Now I only allow my mother to do my hair because she's a professional hair stylist and she gets my hair Bone Straight just how i like it.I'm a VERY PICKY woman when it comes to my hair... if it's not bouncy, flowy shiny and my ROOTS aren't straight then I'm unhappy. Now I've never bought an electrical flat iron because I've never had to and I didn't know which flat iron would be Best to invest in seeing the fact that there are alot of good flat irons out there. So I did my research, looked at reviews and watched some youtubes and i decided to go with the hairart because when I saw black women using it on youtube there hair wasn't stiff, it had that bouncy,flowy shiny look that I was looking for and i didn't really see that in other leading flat irons. I am an african amerian/indian mix woman, my hair is very curly, slightly course and thick therefore I needed a flat iron that gets really hot and that can give me that bouncy, flowy and shiny look. The HairArt H3000 is 5 star rating, the temp. goes from 140 to 450 degrees which is a BIG plus for me, it has tourmaline which seals the ends of your hair, another plus for me and its a ceramic straightening and Curling iron. As soon as it came in the mail I opened it right away! I washed and blow-dryed my hair and got straight to it....and let me tell you guys I was Astonished! cuz it gave me that Bone Straight, Bouncy, Flowy, Shiny look just like my mommy does it and I Am a Happy customer...Im a Very Picky woman when it comes to my hair....i know what I want and what i want to see and The HairArt H3000 did that for Picky Me
