TR Flat Iron Reviews Quick Post: Cheap vs Expensive Flat Irons

Hey Ya’ll,

I found this question on Yahoo answers a little ago  and I think it is a very obvious question but one that is not answered very often. Here is my take on it:

Q: What the difference between cheap and expensive flat irons?

A:  Okay so there are two different ways to answer this question…We can look at it as what the actual differences are and what the actual differences should be.

What the actual difference should be between expensive and cheap flat irons:

1) Expensive flat irons should first and foremost use higher quality material for their plates. For instance, the $200 Ghd should use more solid ceramic heaters and plates than the $30 Conair. The Conair usually uses a ceramic coating on its plate with the actual plate being made out of… metal, aluminum? I don’t know but it is not good for your hair nor does it produce the negative ions that give you the shiny look that you are going for when you flat iron

2) They should have more features that cheaper flat iron. Various nano technologies, digital displays, higher temperature settings, longer cords, and they should last longer than a drugstore flat iron although that is in no way guaranteed.

2) Sometimes part of the difference is how the flat iron has marketed itself. Remington is a very well established company that has sought to be affordable for almost everyone. They might make good flat irons that they are able to sell cheaper because they are a household name, so to speak. For instance, the Remington Shine Therapy Flat Iron gets great reviews and it is under $60. These are considered consumer flat irons for as regular folks.

And KQC is one of the top picks of hair stylists and has great reviews from it’s users.

Gift #2: KQC Shine Spray valued at $18.99. You know, if a flat iron is doing its job, it will make your hair glossy. However, a little extra gloss never hurt and that’s what this shine will do. It will make it shiny without making it greasy (according to its users).

Gift #3: Macadamia Repair Mask valued at ???. Sorry couldn’t find the price on this one although I know it can be up to $21 depending on the size of the jar. Regardless, the reviews say that it makes you hair soft and silky.

15 Reasons Why You Should Know About Flat Iron Experts

You  know, 

I really don’t know what it is about that site that makes me like it so much.  I don’t know if it’s the colors they used (I love the color scheme of hot pink and gray together). Maybe its the way that the website looks busy enough for you to know that this site has a lot going on but clean enough to still look elegant and professional. Maybe its because it provides me with so much information for my own blog. Maybe its all of that and more…

Oh, I’m sorry, what did you say…what site am I rambling on about?

I’m talking about Flat Iron Experts!

Have ya’ll ever been on that site…?
Say what!
You haven’t heard of Flat Iron Experts, the company who is truly passionate about helping you find the perfect hair straightener.
What’s up with that?
This obviously won’t work…You’ve got to go there and take a look…
No you say???
Would you go there if I gave you a really good reason?
Well, what if I gave you 15 good reasons?
Are you down?
Yes…
Great
Read on… 🙂

15 Reasons Why You Should Know About Flat Iron Experts…If You Haven’t Already

1) Flat Iron Experts has a great customer service record. I haven’t been able to find many bad reviews about this website but I have found plenty of good ones. Check out the links below:
Amazon

Ebay BBB SiteJabber ThriftyGirl

2) No more paying $5.95 just to get a product sent to you…They have free shipping for orders over $50 and seeing how most flat irons are more than $50 anyway, this shouldn’t be an issue.

3) Their site features YouTube hair gurus…I don’t know about you but I have come to look for and trust the reviews of those who make Youtube videos. They are usually using the product right before our very eyes and we know they did not edit the video to make their hair look better. They tell it to us straight and I love that. You can trust them.

4) They have a list of their best-selling products on the homepage so you can see right up front what their best products are.

5) They have an active online presence with Twitter and Facebook pages which makes them easy to interact with.

6) They feature many of the top brands and even some brands that Folica.com doesn’t carry (KQC for example).

7) It is an easy to navigate website with categories by brand and flat iron type (steam, mini, wet to dry).

8) The descriptions of the features and specifications of each flat iron gives the user in depth knowledge which in turns helps them make better decisions about which flat iron to buy.

9) Their products come with a 30 day money back guarantee.

10) For many of their flat irons they show before and after pictures so you can see a comparison of how effective the flat iron is.

11) And of course, they also have plenty of user reviews.

12)They have recommended product accessories so you can make sure to get everything you need in one go…no more saying “I wish I had known that I needed that…:”

13) In addition to product reviews, some of the flat irons have video tutorials.

14) Many times, if you spend a certain amount, you get free products with your purchase (for example:  If you buy a KQC x-heat flat iron, you get a free KQC shine product with it)

15) And last but certainly not least, they honor all manufacturers warranties and they do it without hassle.  Not even Amazon can always claim that unfortunately.  Plus you do not have to pay to get the flat iron sent back to you. Sa-weet!
