Absolutely Amazing

I've gone through numerous straighteners and got this about a year and a half ago on whim. It was in one of those random stalls at the mall. I was considering getting a new straightener sometime soon, and this woman pulled me aside and straightened a strand, then curled a strand. I was amazed with the results and bought the silver one. I'd already been straightening my hair for a few years. But when I went to school with my hair straightened with the amika the next day, people kept complimenting my hair, and how gorgeous and.. BEHAVED it was. I used to have really puffy, frizzy, curly hair in middle school. And after I started using the amika, I'm positive that even when I don't straighten my hair, it's more relaxed and manageable. It's also incredibly sturdy. I've dropped it onto hardwood floor countless times, and it's still working perfectly. I'd definitely recommend it!

This a veryy verry good hair strightner. i didnt think it was that good before i bought it but when i tried it, i couldn't believe it.the results were amazing. it makes your hair feel so soft and it makes it look so shiny. i am black and my hair is not permed. it is pouffy. but when i used this straightner it made my hair very thin and straight.it is very good for curling and many other good styles. i definetley recommend and it is worth your money

My brother bought me one a year and a half ago, and it's the best tool I've used. My hair is fairly thin and fine, but it has been damaged all of my life, and it naturally kinks. I've always had cheap hair dryers, until recently, and I tried a middle-of-the-road straightener. The hair dryers were terrible, and the straightener was just okay. I rarely straightened my hair for fear of damage. The Amika made all the difference. My hair actually looks healthier after I straighten it. I now straighten my hair every other day, and I have yet to see damage from the heat. (There is only one heat setting, but it has not damaged my fine hair one bit.) I've now tried a high end hair dryer, which is better than the cheap ones, but my hair doesn't compare to being straightened with the Amika. I also recently got a Sedu Revolution travel iron, and it doesn't seem to compare, either. I didn't know Amika had a travel iron, but I may exchange the Sedu now that I know. This iron is WORTH its price. I highly recommend it.

I have spent hundreds of dollars on a variety of name brand straighteners with nothing but negative results. I have very curly, frizzy Italian hair that I have always struggled to style. I purchased this product 2 1/2 years ago I haven't had a bad hair day since. The shine and softness my hair gets after using this straightener makes total strangers comment on how beautiful my hair is, let alone my husband is constantly touching and running his finger through my hair. Yes it was a bit costly, but worth every penny. Thanks--- Kim
I LOVED IT

THIS IS THE BEST STRAIGHTNER I HAVE EVER USED. I USED TO HATE STRAIGHTNING MY HAIR BECAUSE IT TOOK FOREVER AND AFTER I WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL WITH THE RESULTS. THIS STRAIGHTNER ONLY TAKES 10 SEC TO HEAT UP AND ONE TIME TO STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR PIN STRAIGHT AND IT SHINES MY HAIR AND MAKES IT SOFT. IT DOESNT FRY MY HAIR LIKE OTHERS DO EITHER. ALTHOUGH IT IS HIGH PRICED IT IS WORTH IT. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT! I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! its my baby!

This is by far the best straightener I have ever owned. I have had a Baby bliss(which was aweful) a ion, and a Chi and none compare to this one. I straighten my hair and I can actually get my hands thru it. When i used anyother one I could never do that. This product is worth the money!
I love it.

Pro-it straightens, curls, volumizes, and makes hair wavy. Con- It doesn't have a heat control. I love this product. It is so easy and lightweight. You can even go to www.loveamika.com and see how-to videos of the pros listed above. All in all, I love this product. Best so far.
awesome straightner
