So I bought the hot tools flat iron

and I am not liking it to much. I don't know if its because I am not used to using it or it just doesn't work that way I want it to work or the way I think it should work. Also my hair gets caught in it so right there that's a problem. So I think I am going to return it. But what other brand should I get and what size? 1' or 2'?

I know there have been lots of posts about this so sorry for posting again.

I have a 2 inch, I think it's Revlon but I find it's kinda big (there's no room for it in the bathroom) so I don't use it anymore.

I have a 1' Remington Wet2Straight that seems to be working well (I use it on damp hair).

Well, I dry & style most of my hair (I have a flip going on in the back) with a round brush, then use the iron for the front & front part of the sides. So by then my hair is damp but I think it works well.

I think if I was going to use it for my entire head without blow drying at all, I'd want a 2'.

I think I have the hot tools one - and it usually works well, but because of the humidity, it hasn't been working great. Nothing works...

I use a HAI, it's ceramic and is 2'. I love it, it heats up really quickly.

I use the maxi-glide and even though some people on here didn't like it, I love it.

I have to agree. It's good for an hour and then...full blown frizz.

But this weather even people with pin straight hair have issues.

i bought the chi iron about a month ago, it seems to work great esp when my hair is dry. I can't seem to get my hands on that sabino water block solution though and i have a wedding this sat!!

yes!! you have to be careful not to use too much though or else you'll end up looking like an oil well!!! i use just a dab, rub it in my hands, \and then apply it to the ends and any other areas that have flyaways. i love the smell of it too!!!
