HairArt H3000 Tourmaline Ceramic Straightening Iron, 1 3/8″

BEST FLATIRON EVER
As a professional licensed hairstylist of over 25years this has been the best flatiron I have used hands down. It has outlasted all of my expensive irons and silken the hair the best(other than Marcel flatirons) O have dropped this flatiron over 100 times and it still worked. Up until that last time I dropped it it broke. But I was still able to use it broke and all until the day it finally played out.( my fault I am rough) buying another soon as I get done leaving this review. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

I will NEVER use any other flat iron than Hair Art!
So, being as lazy as I am, flat ironing my hair used to be just an annoying chore. My old flat iron either burned my hair because it was too hot, or just made it frizzy by not being hot enough. Since I have Ethnic hair, going without flattening it for too long will make me look like someone rubbed a balloon across my scalp. So I had to deal with burning my hair for months before I found this flat iron.Ladies and gents. This will be the ONLY flat iron you will ever need in your life. I wish I were exaggerating, but I would buy this for everyone in the world if I could.PROS:1. It literally glides across your hair. You don’t need to grip the iron tightly or tug.2. It gets VERY hot, but I doubt anyone would ever need for it to be on max. My hair is practically an afro after a shampoo, and the iron flattens my hair to near silk at usually only 350 degrees.3. It works on any hair type! I have relaxed and colored Ethnic hair. My mom has a mix of Ethnic and Native American hair. I’ve used this iron on her hair, as well as my friends who vary from Caucasian hair to natural Ethnic hair. Just change the heat settings accordingly, it it works like a charm.4. The price is a bargain. I’ve gone through 4 or 5 irons in the past 3 years. Considering I paid between $15-$30 for each, I wasted so much money. Ladies and gents, I know times are tough and money can be hard to come by, but if you’re in the need for a new iron, don’t settle for a cheapo one from the local drug store. Save up a bit of extra cash and invest in a high quality iron that will last you!5. It replaces a regular curling iron and is very versatile. My hair never took to curls well. They would last maybe a few hours then get really limp. This iron alone can give you a numerous amounts of salon-quality hairstyles with a bit of practice. It curls VERY well, and the curls lasted me for a week before I shampooed my hair again. They did fall limp after the third day, but with some hair spray, I’m sure they would last much longer. Also is really good for feathering your hair. My mom wraps her hair into a “beehive” style before bed, so she curls her hair with this iron and it helps with wrapping her hair before bed (if any of you wrap your hair at night, this is a plus!).6. The size of the iron is very ideal. I have very tiny hands (I actually have to wear children sized jewelry). In the picture, the iron looks really long and bulky, but the iron is made out of some kind of material that won’t make the iron slip from your hands easily. And even though it’s one of the smaller sizes of the H3000 series, it shouldn’t take very long to iron unless you have absurdly long hair~ I would personally love to own a larger size iron, but this one is perfect.CONS:1. I’m not sure if my auto-turn off feature works. I left my iron on the bathroom counter when I had to go take care of a small emergency with my dog. When I came back almost 30min later, it was still ON. Nothing on the counter was burned since I had a pad underneath it, but it may be something worth looking at (I may just be the only one with this problem).2. The smell of the iron was…odd. It’s not really a huge issue, it’s just that when I unpacked the iron, it had a very strange “old” smell to it. Like it had been sitting in a musty, moldy garage for some time. I just wiped off the iron and the smell gradually went away, but it was just weird at first.Anywho~ That’s all I have to say about this iron! I highly recommend this to anyone in dire need of a new one. Also, there are several women on YouTube who make regular hair tutorials using the HairArt H3000. That’s actually how I found this one. Give them a look! You have to see it to believe it~

Straightens better than some of the more popular flat irons!!
I have naturally thick curly hair, and even with some of the more expensive flat irons I have had less than stellar results when straightening my hair. With that being said, I must admit that I wasn’t really expecting much from this flat iron, I just needed a replacement as my other one had recently stopped working.After prepping my hair for straightening, which included shampooing, deep conditioning, and applying a heat protectant, I began to flat iron it. To my surprise, my hair was so silky, smooth, and straight!! My hair literally had a salon finish!This flat iron does not snag or pull my hair, and it’s very easy to maneuver while straightening, and it even curls the hair effortlessly.The only flaw that I have with this iron is the placement of the temperature dial. It sits in between the two irons slightly off to the side, which I’ve noticed that depending on how/where you hold it the temperature it inadvertently moves, which can be bothersome, as you have to constantly check to ensure if the iron is set to your desired temperature. Otherwise, great iron. I would recommend it!

Very nice to grip, straightens and flips well, makes hair shiny. Heats up very quickly. This is my second HairArt 3000 – bought the first one about 8 years ago for WAY more money from my hairstylist. The plates on the old one were ‘floating’ unlike this one and when I dropped the old one, the plates became slightly separated. The plates on this one are now fixed to the appliance and don’t ‘float’. The old one also had a fantastic felt pocket to store the iron in and this new one does not.I have wavy, medium length, medium fine and medium thin hair and this tool does a great job keeping the wave out of it for the whole day with a nice shine. The only thing to report on this straightener is that the old one heated up so much the day it died that I didn’t notice and I completely fried my bangs. Melted my hair!! I still like the product and will be sure to watch it around the 5 year mark for signs of overheating.I owned a Babyliss straightener before this one and it was good too, but I do prefer this one.

I have extremely thick, curly, frizzy, Italian girl hair. You know, the type that you takes a long time to blow dry, spend time straightening, and the minute you walk outside, poofs out, lol. For years I have looked for products that would keep my hair sleek and straight. I have spent a fortune in this quest.After yet another disappointment back around 2005, with a CHI straightener, a hiar dresser introdcued me to this iron that he used is his own salon. I was skeptiacal, but once used it – sold! Not only did this heat quickly and evenly, but it straightens my hair beautifully and quickly! I only have to go over each piece ONLY ONCE, and my hair remains shiny AND doesn’t poof out when I go outside! In addition, these irons last forever. I bought my second one in 2013, not because my first one didin’t work, I just felt like 7 years was a long time to have an iron. I gave the old iron to a friend, and she said it was awesome. I now, juts bought another (and my old one from 2013 still works like a charm), more because I am afraid that if they stop making this iron, I won’t have a replacement. Silly, I now, but it is THAT good.
