Great but pricey

Excellent flat iron. I got it in North Carolina (2007-2008) at one of those booths where they push you to purchase it. I am referring to the Corioliss Professional Straightening iron not a chi product as far as I know. It is the best I have ever tried so far. I have never had any problems with mine. I am writing this review in 2014 so it is pretty old and it is still working well. I don't use it everyday, maybe ten times a year. I go through stages where I use it and where I don't so that is just an estimate. My favorite feature is the temperature choices you have. When I start using it, I set it to the highest and after a few minutes I lowered it. Never had any negative issues with it at all. My hair is thick, red, curly and lots of volume, so this product is ideal for me.
