Customer Reviews

Great value for straight short hair
Several years ago I started out using a cheap drugstore flat iron for my thick wavy hair. After talking to my stylist and my friends I got a 1½" Sedu and a 1" Solia flat iron for my long hair, and then my inverted bob (Posh Spice). They're pricey but you get what you pay for. I got nice SILKY STRAIGHT hair with those brands. Now with my boy haircut (Demi Moore in Ghost) I needed a narrower flat iron. After much research I finally bought this Farouk ½" mini. It's about 10 inches long and 1½ inch at its widest point.
Pros: narrow for short hair or bangs, quick heating with display light, adjustable temperature (140º - 400º), smooth ceramic surface means no pulling or catching, swivel cord, the tip stays cool enough so I can handle it, the two sides compress for better holding if I want to hold the ends and the price.
Cons: they sell out quickly, the directions are minimal. FYI - The Sedu and Solia manuals suggest around 340 - 350° for normal hair texture, less for bleached, damaged, fine hair and above that (370°) for coarse, thick, ethnic or otherwise resistant hair.
Get a good haircut, use a deep moisturizer once a week and you'll be good to go for a great price! Highly recommended.

Silky Straight
I really like this product, it gets really close to the root and produces a very silky/shiny result. I've used it on my 11 year old daughter's natural (unpermed) hair and it is It is perfect for African American hair textures. I've replaced my CHI Irons (which I paid $85.00 more for) and I can now create the same fresh from the salon look at home.

Easy to work with
I prefer this iron to my Farouk Chi iron. It is less bulky and I can work with it very easily and get very close to the scalp. There is a temperature heat adjustment. It reaches temperature very quickly.
