Ebay Flat Irons

[Loreal]

Hey!!

I'm looking for a new flat iron, and I saw these on Ebay, and I was wondering if any of you have tried them, or heard of them, or anything!

The starting bid of $0.01 kind of threw me off... I didn't think it would be that cheap if it were a good one. But after reading about them , they seem Ok...??

Sorry, I can't post links to it, but here is a picture:



The name on Ebay is:

Mosito Brand Professional Salon Styler Pink Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Flat Iron

Thanks for your help!!! :laughing:

I got my Chi off folica.com a while ago for $200 or something ... Ebay sells a lot of great stuff, but they also sell fake things ... so i'd make sure it was real b4 i bid.

If the seller has positive replys then I would go for it! there not allowed to advertise something if your not going to get it (if you know what I mean lol). x

Thanks guys!!! :g:

I agree with the other ladies on double-checking feedback. Definitely be careful of fakes!

 

[Loreal]

They definitly arent real CHI's... but the person has good feedback, and they said the flat irons retail for like $200 or something, and they heat up to like 400 degrees, so I figured it would have to work decently! LOL. But thank you guys so much for your help!!!!

Have a lovely day!:marchmellow:

these are not real CHI's, just a regular flat iron, and i've seen some of it for pretty cheap, but im not sure about the quality.

I agree with Kim. Check feedback and do a internet search on reviews for the different irons. It would suck to purchase a fake one. You may want to invest more money and get the real thing that works well and protects your hair.

you can find good real deals on Ebay. I got this amazing Chi flat iron for about $30 once.

Lol. Ok well after MUCH worrying/thinking/debating, I finally got one of the flat irons. I like it alot except that it wasn't the lovely hot pink color I thought it was going to be...:icon_conf I really wanted it to use it to curl my hair with, but I still don't completely have the hang of doing that... if anyone has any tips on curling with flat irons, it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks so much!!

I don't have any tips for you, but I did find a video on youtube. It isn't very detailed, but I hope it helps.

instead of getting it online just go to a department store. atleast you'll have a return policy.

lain: Gr! I have officially changed my mind. I don't like it any more. I mainly got it to make those cute CHI curls, and I thought it worked OK for that, until I used my friend's real CHI!! And it doesn't even straighten that good! It takes a long time. So now I'm sad. (And I feel like a dork... lol.) I'm debating whether to try to sell it somewhere/somehow (Any suggestions?) or to just chalk it up as a bad decision and go get a CHI, or is there a different brand that's better??

Thanks guys.

OK, I really have to know the answer to this question: Is the Chi REALLY so much better that it is worth paying $200 for? If so, can you tell me how it is better than others? Thanks so much! Inquiring minds (like mine!) want to know /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wouldn't buy a flat iron from Ebay. Too skeptical, but that's just me. :frown:

It's just one of those items that leave you curious and unsure

("Will it work for me?" "Is the quality as good as it seems?" et cetera)

Plus it'll be a hassle to return such items if you were ever disappointed.

If you really want the Chi iron I saw it at Bed Bath & Beyond just earlier. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have a CHI and a SEDU, and my Sedu wins hands down. It is the best flat iron I have ever used. I bought the CHI to compare to my Sedu... the CHI does a pretty good job, but my Sedu does a much better job. I have really curly hair, and the Sedu gets it really straight.
