ION ceramic flat iron

[queenofmean68]

Does anyone own this iron? It costs $99 at Sally's. Is it as good as a CHI or HAI?
What were the results of your hair after using it?
Thx.

I have an ion ceramic flat iron. Its a vidal sasson. I only spent like 30 dollars on mine. I havent tried a CHI or HAI but I really like it.

I just bought this yesterday afternoon. I wanted to compare it with the Jilbere ceramic-coated irons that I already own. I will probably do a section tomorrow night so I will give an update then.

I have been drooling over this flat iron for a couple months now but I am way to cheap to spend that kind of money without being absolutely sure it will do something wonderful for my hair. Post a review once you use it. I guess I am really looking for an excuse to buy it without the guilt!

Okay. I just tried the flat iron. First of all my hair got suck in the corner on the first pass -- I had to break the hair of to free it ... not good at all

This used to always happen to me (using regular flat irons) when I wasn't paying attention hair growth and didn't really care about the health of my hair. I have extremely frizzy underprocessed hair on sections of my hair when I used to use a different relaxer so I tested it on those parts.

After just one pass those frizzy parts vanished and blended in perfectly with the "good" parts. That was definitely a plus. My hair didn't feel nearly as hot as it does when I flat iron with my ceramic-plated jibilere and helen of troy irons and my hair had a very silky, light feel to it. However, the thing didn't straigthen my new growth as well as I felt it should've for $89. My Helen of Troy ceramic-plated iron does a MUCH better job at straightening my new growth. However, I do like the fact at how the Ion flat does not give my hair the slight burning smell that my other irons give (I could still smell the nice scent of my serum)

On a scale of 1-10, I give this iron a 8/10 and 6 of those points are because the iron doesn't put any type of burning smell in your hair, the other two are because after one pass the frizzy parts were no longer.

I will be bringing it back though because of the price and I will purchase a CHI iron to see if it performs any better. Also, I flat iron my hair maybe 5 times a year, if that, and I wash within 3 days so if I'm gonna spend alot of money on a flat iron it's really gotta knock the others out the box in every way.

I love Sally Beauty Supply return policy! I sure wish they sold CHI irons.

Hopefully this review has been helpful to you.

Thanks LiLi!
I don't like using irons that catch my hair up in them as well. I guess I will have to break my piggy bank and get a CHI. It seems to be the best one on the market.
