I've never used a flat iron before. Will someone compare the pros/cons of 2" v 1"? My hair is long and thick, blows dry relatively straight. Thanks!

I use the 1" because my hair is fine and thin. My sister has very thick long hair and uses the 2". It covers more ground that the 1".

I have noticed that my Plugged iron has plates 2-3 mm longer, and tried some ther that claimed their plates even longer than usual length - that was true. But the results from everything I've tried before cannot be compared to moriccanoil hot iron. I think, the end result is what matters the most - hair looks gorgeous! My friend tried it as well and noticed the difference in using it and how her hair looked. Enjoy the product!

The dual waver is nice. It's essentially 2 hair dos in one. U can do tighter waves or looser ones. That's y I picked this waver over the other one. And u wouldn't think there'd be much difference in the two waves u can use, but there really is!

I'm on my second one but my first lasted me well over a year before dying for reasons that I was never able to figure out though it happened shortly after a flight so I suspect maybe something could have happened to it when it was in my luggage. If this one does the same, I'll still buy another one because I've /never/ been able to get anywhere near the results from any other flat iron on the market that I've used before and I've tried, no joke, 15 of them. My hair stylist has one and has had the same one for over 3 years so I think it may have alot to do with how you handle it, clean it and store it if you travel with it.

The ghd is also really great. I have natural 4c hair and I've used the ghd a few times. Its excellent, and has heat settings. If you can then find the right product to keep your hair from "going back" you are set. I was able to get my hair straight and shiny, but as soon as i walked outside it was a pouf again within minutes. You can read on this website on how to get professional results and also instructions on flat ironing natural hair. http://flatironreviewsguide.com/

I'm not sure about the other one because I never used it, but the purple one started snagging on my hair after the first year of use. The problem is, I only used it occasionally, since I'm not a regular hair straightening gal. But for the price, I think it's a good buy. I just think there are better flat irons out there. Good luck!

We have very similar hair, mine is also thick, wavy and well beyond my shoulders. I got the 1.5" and it's really easy to use, just like brushing your hair.

Well, it goes up to 450 degrees that is one of the hottest ones out there. I have thick curly hair, and it works perfect. I got the 2 inch one and great and I have tried a lot of flat irons and so far this one is great!

My hair is pretty thick. It dries it quick enough if I let it air dry for a few minutes first. It's a nice dryer for the price but don't expect miracles. If you flat iron your hair now, you will still have to flat iron with this dryer.

It's not too small, and it heats up really well. I have hair that can be very resistant to heat styling, but the amika works great on my hair, doesn't burn it, and not only flat irons it straight but also curls it if you flip it just so. I had one and I broke it - so I immediately got another one here at amazon because I couldn't do without it. Takes a lot for me to be "brand-loyal." Hope that helps you. P.

I didn't use a flat iron yet but it will be the plan soon, I love how my hair is smooth after using it the smell the texture, really loving it.

I haven't. But I have had one of those mall kiosk people use a flat iron on my hair and do it both straight and curled. I just never tried it! It's kind of wide, I think 1 1/2 inches so might not work too good. I think a 1 inch would work better.

I'm Af-Am with natural 4b hair and I LOVE this flat iron. It heats up quickly and I do notice the anti-static effect.

You can create some curls or waves with this flat iron, but it would be a slight rather than tight, depending on how you work it. The great thing about this flat iron is that the long handle and plates doesn't cramp my hand. You can adjust the temperature to suit your hair needs. It also has a handy sheath as you can store it while it's still cooling and not worry about melting anything nearby.

I think one will be okay. But if you want it thick and long, then two. I use 1 1/2 for a thick and long water curls.

The flat iron I purchased came brand new in a box. I absolutely love this product. I have "kind of" fine hair and if I follow the chart the booklet has, I should be using the 410 degree setting. I literally now wash my hair, let it dry (overnight) or quickly pass the blow dryer (nothing crazy); apply heat protectant and then pass the flat iron. Saves me so much time and my hair looks gorg. I also use this flat iron to curl my ends and give it a more fancy look.

Same effect. I think blow-drying it's a little bit more faster, but all depends on how much Sun In you use. I use the blow dryer, and I think the flat iron also helps to the lighter process.
