I got my cortex at folica.com and it works alot better than the one I bought at the mall. My hair is very frizzy in the front and difficult to straighten as with other straighteners it always straighens but with a zig zag not with cortex just once through and it is done ... love it ... no one can take this away from me.

I had actually never heard of this flat iron because they don't have them in mall vendors where I live, but my cousin from the east coast recently came to visit and she brought the flat iron. She used it to curl my hair and the results were amazing. My hair does not curl! And when I say my hair does not curl I mean MY HAIR DOES NOT CURL! If I curl my hair with a regular curling iron the curl will stay in for about 20 to 30 minutes and then its completely gone and my hair is completely straight again, maybe slightly curled under is all. And believe me... I've tried everything. Even spraying gobs of hair spray to hold the curl doesn't work, it only extends the semi-hold time for another 20 minutes. When my cousin curled my hair with this curling iron it STAYED. I honestly could not believe it. And it stayed all night. I couldn't even brush it out. The only concern I would have is I personally don't think its a flat iron you would want to use everyday. It works wonders when you use it, but it gets so hot that I have a feeling it could be damaging to your hair. I could see steam coming away from my hair when she was running it through and it felt like it might be sucking out moisture or something. (laughs) I did buy the iron though... I haven't gotten it yet, but I plan to use it just on nights that I go out or something to prevent too much hair damage. I don't curl my hair everyday anyways so its not difference. Either way... If you have problems getting your hair to hold curl. THIS FLAT IRON WILL WORK!!!

My sister almost bought it at a mall stand for $120 they told her it was worth $240 but the lady told her to say that she works at the mall so she would get a 50% discount, but my sister was in a hurry so she didn't buy it she tought about going back and get it but she check the iron online and she was surprise to see that its only worth $60 so she bought it for the $60 instead of $120. I tried it and I really like it so am also getting it it makes my hair so soft I already donated my old iron. Buy it you wont regret it.

I agree with : anon from Coquitlam, BC Fri Feb 15 2008 The same exact thing happened to me today, I bought it for $108 at the mall today and I am just now realizing that I could have purchased it for half the price here online. Another thing, you are right, there is no warranty on it because there is no mailing address on the brochure they give you at the mall, they lied and it is a rip off if you purchase this item at the mall or from any con artist. The product works well, but I am also waiting for the day it stops working on me.
Pretty Good

My sister bought me this for christmas. I was with her and we passed by that stand many times. The lady saw us looking and offered to curl my sister's hair. It stayed the whole day even after i ran my fingeres through it to test it! So when she went to buy it for me for christmas the lady tested my hair and it came out amazing. When she went to starighten it again it was a little curly stilll since my hair was still hot. But that happens with all straighteners and curlers.It was also $80 from 200. But what im confsued about is why the retail price on the box says 200 when on folica it ays it was 74?. I dont know maybe it was 74 on sale and they took extra off. Anyways you should buy it off of folica.com since it has a return polixy and the stands do not. They should to help ensure that their product is good whcih it is. Also i havent opened it yet so i dont know if their is a different with the display one and the real one like everyone is saying but i doubt that that is true.
IT WORKS REALY WELL

YOU ONLY NEED TO RUN IT THROUGH YOUR HAIR ONES FOR IT TO BE PERFECT
