As an African American women it is always hard to find a flat iron that works. However after purchasing this flat iron, my hair turn out bone straight. My hair also had plenty of shine.

I have extremely curly and frizzy hair, but when I use this Gold n hot straightening iron, my hair is sleek and strait. I do not believe it makes my hair smell like metal, but it works wonders and its much less expensive than a Chi or Sedu straightener - which i have used before. I believe the Gold n Hot is amazing and it's DEFINATELY a better bargain!
its very good!

i think that the gold n hot products are made ecspecially for african american women thats my opnion, all these products work well on my natural hair so i feel that if u have like bi-racial hair are if your not african american of course this product may not work as well on your hair i have two other friends that have purchashed the gold n hot flat irons and it works well on their hair also, just remember this is my opnion from experience and also seeing the results on my self and my friends..

I have been using this product for 10 years and it has always straightened my hair beautifully. I have long frizzy hair (almost touches my butt). The qulaity of the straightening depends on the products you use with the straightener. I use a smoothing shampoo following by a humectant conditioner. I let my hair towel dry for about 40 minutes and let the iron preheat for about 20 minutes on the highest setting. I section my hair in pieces using clips. I apply Razac cream to each section and brush it. I then press the iron several times, brushing the sections in between pressing. When I am finished, I pass the blow dryer through the roots...I don't like to place the iron too close to my scalp. To finish the the look I spray Motions Oil Moisturer for a shiny, soft, silky look. I apply the Oil Moisturizer Daily until the week is up and start all over again.
Don't last long Enough.

The mini Gold N Hot flat iron works wonders on my hair. I have supper curly long hair and i can never find anything that will straighten it wihtout leaving little waves in it. I tried the chi and it also workerd very well but i couldn't pay that much for one, so then i went to sally's and i purchased this gold hot, and it its amazing, it even straightens those annoying frizzies that pop up around your hair line,the price is incredibly low, the quality is incredibly high, and your results will last until you wash your hair. I just purchased mine recently for only $29. 95, now COMPARE that to the $112.00 Chi. Now ask yourself....whats the better bargain?
Very Good purchase for the price

I have used this iron for the past 5 years. It is excellent! I never really knew how excellent it was until I purchase the CHI 2" iron --$144.00, which I bought just a couple of days ago. Let me tell you, the CHI does not even come close to the workmanship of this little inexpensive iron. The quality of the plastic is 10 times better. The GOLD N' HOT iron has truly an ergonomic handle that has ridges for your finger. The plastic is high quality, as opposed to the CHI which plastic is so cheap it looks like it is plastic from one of those old plastic dolls. While the CHI has ceramic plates, the difference between ceramic plates and the type of plates the GOLD N' HOT has is minimal. From what I can tell, here are the differences between the two: (Keep in mind the HUGE PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO) - Instead of ironing a section 2 times with the HOT N' GOLD it takes me only 1 try with the CHI. Truly this is the only difference I can tell. I am thinking about returning the CHI because for the price, I am dissapointed, especially when I compar it to the HOT N' GOLD that did so much for me for so many years. IT LASTED ME OVER 5 YEARS!!! Also, I have EXTREMELY frizzy and dry hair that is color treated. So it is difficult to straighten, but my HOT N' GOLD certainly did the job. THE CHI does not compare to the quality of the GOLD N' HOT. The only exception are the ceramic plates, but I can't tell much of a difference once I finish styling my hair. Sometimes expensive does not mean better and I am learning this lesson.
