Cricket Titanium Tourmaline 450 Styling Iron

I HIGHTLY recommend this item. I have a Cricket flat iron , I received as a gift about 13 years ago. My daughter and I both used and about a year ago the liner on the blade started to slowly peel off. I tried every other brand of flat iron, but took them right back the next day. I was on a mission to get another Cricket. I came across this wed site and had to order this one. I received on Saturday and my daughter who slept with a bun, woke up and tried the iron. One swipe and done, took her about 10 mins to flat iron her hair. THE BEST FLAT IRON OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!

Granted I have only had this flat iron for about 2 months, but it is the best I have ever used!

I am talking smooooth glide, one quick pass and you have smooth silky, shiny, straight undamaged hair!!! On all hair types!

I tried it first on my natural blonde hair, fairly easily damaged, and I was impressed at its performance! NO snagging or sticking, smooth glide, quick 1 pass, with great curls and beautiful results, where every other flat iron I have used, no matter how expensive, has not come close.

So I took it to work, even more amazing! Its performance is outstanding on all hair types, including very tight ethnic hair, without any damage.

Temp adjusts up to 450, although I have not had it above 420, even on very tight ethnic hair,. It has a 30 second heat up which also means it keeps a much more consistent temperature throughout service. It has rounded edge plates so it curls and flips with a twist of the wrist!

For now it is my best unknown secret!

It feels solid, so if it holds up to time and use,...which I have a feeling it will...

I has my vote over chi, babyliss, solia, ghd, salon tech, croc........

I used to take 30 minuted to straighten my naturally curly hair but since I got this new iron it only takes less than 20 minutes.
This iron gets hot instantly and takes me less time than the CHI I used to use.
I was reluctant to buy it because of the lower price but am so glad I did, I won't use anything else!

This flat iron gets the job done and fast! One pass is enough on my relaxed hair. It goes up to 450 degrees which is great for straightening or curling a weave!I don't use 450 on my real hair...I do not really like the smell that comes from it but I manage and i am sure most or all flat irons do that. The lower the degree the least significant the smell! It heats up in only 21 seconds instead the 30 that is stated.

I owned another Cricket flat iron before the ceramic chipped. When I used this one for the first time I was amazed. It heats in seconds. Plus with my long hair it was straight in five minutes tops! Love this.
