I have curly hair (not extreme but pretty curly) and I got this straightener and it works great! My hair is straight now! I use it all the time. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a cheap straightener! It takes only 5 minutes to heat up which is really good. It takes me about 20-45 minutes (depending on how my hair is that day) to get it really straight.
this striaghtner is great

This straightener is great for my hair. My hair is thin enough and wavy. Obviously this isnt the straightener to use on thick curly hair.. if you dont use it right. You would be able to tell by looking at it. But if you use hair products to help, it works great. I straightened my friends natural poofy curly hair, and it worked fine. To all of you who think this straightener is awful, maybe its not for you. Some said it fried your hair, obviously it wasnt on the right temperature for your fine hair.. or maybe you dont need a straightener at all. If it " yanks " your hair out maybe try learning how to PROPERLY straighten your hair, brush through first maybe? And if the plates cracked down the middle, maybe its time to get a new one. Your usually supposed to update your hair products every year.. try doing something good for your hair.
♥s it

i don't see how people can say this ISN'T good, unless you have extremly wirey hair. I've had this for 2 years and i love it. It has NEVER pulled my hair, broken it off, or made it fried. My hair does get a little frizzy if its humid out but other than that it looks great! Mine broke 3days ago so my mom went and bought me a chi. It was HORRIBLE the first time i used it it ripped my hair...Now i have like 1inch pieces sticking out everywhere from it. It worked terrible...So we returned and my mom ordered me another crazy straight....I can't wait until it comes in!
WOW

normally, i don't review anything. but this is different. i have had this straightener FOREVER. and it still works the same as it did the first day i got it. i have naturally wavy thick hair. and it turns my hair into sleek, pin straight, shiny hair. just like the kind you see on commercials. i love it! i would recommend it to anyone and everyone who has thick hair, like mine. =]
Love it

I was super excited to finally recieve my flat iron! The day that it came, my hair had been in a ponytail all day(and was put in a ponytail while wet) and this flat iron completely smoothed my creases out into frizz-free strait hair. I would definately recommend this flat iron to anybody! I think I made the perfect choice!
Great for thick hair

this was my fourth straightener my and it was the best out of all four, this is really good, and it can heat up in less than 3 mintues. since this was only good for about a year, i got a new one the original chi model its awesome, but one this the cricket does better than the chi is that it doesnt give you split ends ! and the chi has damaged my hair with only 6 months, and i was using the cricket for a whole year and it didnt give me any split ends. so this striaghtener is good for about a year !
This flatiron is so awesome for the price!

okay, so for all of you that say this flatiron sucks, im sorry for your bad experiences, but i used to have this $20 crappy conair flatiron and it totally did NOT work with my thick, stubborn hair. Now when my mother bought this flatiron, she told me it was $200, ouviously it wasn't, it was me who believed that I had an awesome $200 flatiron, and it worked GREAT. The only person who had troubles was my friend who had ultra curly hair, but for those of you who have wavy to straight hair this flatiron is cheap and works great. I've now been using this flatiron for about 3 years, and my only complaint is when I dropped it and a piece fell off, but i just popped it back into place, and tada! Perfect for regular use, not to harsh on your hair, lightweight, and works great their is nothing wrong with this flatiron, its just not quite as speedy as flatirons with higher levels of heat.
I loved it!

Used this straightener for 2 years now, and am very happy. It doesn't take long time at all to make my hair sleek and smooth. Cord is fin, not broken or anything. I dropped it and one of the plates is now damaged a little, that's the only reason I have to buy a new one now. Recommended.
