Conair Infiniti Instant Heat Ceramic 1" Straightener Review

I bought the Infiniti by Conair, Instant Heat Ceramic 1" Hair Straightener at the same time I bought the Hot Air tool by Conair. I thought the I would be keeping the straightener, and returning the Hot Air Styler...how ironic that my initial thoughts were dead wrong, I ended up keeping the styler, and returning the Infiniti by Conair, Instant Heat Ceramic 1" Hair Straightener.

The reason?

Gosh, there are many.

The first reason though was the fact that the iron barely got hot. I mean it did give off heat, but there was no way in hell that it was heating up to the maximum 395 degrees. My hair needs the extra heat in order to flatten out, otherwise it's left wavy and puffy. This straightener though only felt mildly warm, and the lack of heat kept my hair from straightening out.

Besides just that huge issue though, I ran into another issue while trying to run the iron through my hair. I realized that 8 out 0f 10 times when stroking it through my hair, it would pull pieces of hair right out of my head.

This is usually common in brand new irons, but seriously after using it for 20 minutes the plate snarling issue should have been over with. This was not a plate issue though, the iron was designed with these grooves that were far too separated, so my hair would end up getting stuck in them, and yanking.

The handle is also flawed. For some reason they added spaced comfort grooves onto the part that you hold.

The grooves though are made of hard plastic, and they actually cause discomfort, mild pain to the fingers, and I ended up having grooved red lines in my fingers after using it for just a short amount of time.

After attempting to get my hair straight for a full 20 minutes, I turned the iron off, and packed it back up into it's box for a refund.

Overall Recommendation:

Skip it. It rips hair, has an awkward design, and does not heat up enough to straighten hair.
