Product reviews of Cricket StraightCrazy Tourmaline Ceramic Straightening Iron 1 1/4"
Review: Not hot enough
Beauty product: 1 Stars
I've had the Hot Tools Professional for years and love it but it's finally seen it's day from one too many drops so I got the "Straightcrazy Tourmaline" made by Cricket. This is my first ceramic flat iron so I'm not sure if its the brand or if all ceramics are like this but it just doesn't get hot enough. I spend 2-3 times longer straightening and it still doesn't come out sleek and straight - just a frizzy mess. This iron only goes up to 200 degrees Celsius... The other downers are the on/off switch, power light, and the temp control dial is on the inside of the iron. To turn it off or turn it up I've burnt myself because it's so close to the heated area. And easy to forget the iron is on as the power light is so hidden. I'm returning the iron. Review: Works very well
Beauty product: 4 Stars
I bought this flat iron a year or two ago. It works as it is supposed to -- heats up quickly, doesn't pull my hair much, makes my hair nice and shiny and smooth.
I would have given it 5 stars, but for two things. The first is that it is single voltage -- 120V only -- so I can not use it if I travel out of the country. The second is that the red coating on the plates (which I assume is the tourmaline?) has been slowly rubbing off. It does not seem to be effecting the results though, and my hairdresser says my hair is still very healthy so it is not damaging it. Still, I don't think that was supposed to happen. Otherwise, this thing is great. Heats up quickly, does what I want it to do.
