DORISILK 2.0 Upgraded Steam Hair Straightener and Curler, Ceramic 1 Inch Professional Salon Steampod Styler Plancha Vapor Iron, 450 LED Temp, 2 in 1, Purple

I waited a year to write my review because I want to first use the product for a while before I give an opinion. Too often people jump on here and immediately write their reviews and I don’t think you can write an accurate review after only 7 days or a month. First off, this iron is an amazing value. You really get a great deal for the money. I have a fancy Dyson and I started hearing about the steam iron and I figured I would try it but I didn’t want to invest a ton of money on it since I already have something that works fine. I took a chance on this product and I love it. It’s my go to for everyday styling and the steam makes your hair shiny and silky. It’s truly amazing.I usually don’t use up all of the water in the reservoir and if you are, then you’re clearly over using the flat iron and my guess is that you’re going over the same strands multiple times and putting on too much unnecessary heat. Honestly you really don’t need to go over the same pieces multiple times. I can flat iron my hair in one swipe and it stays flat and soft for days. The fact that people think the reservoir is too small is a little baffling because it’s a flat iron, how big do you want the product to be? If the reservoir was made bigger than people would complain the iron is too bulky (like my Dyson). The only reason this is my go-to product is because it’s small enough to fit in my bag and it gets the job done so fast. The shine and silk is a plus. I have long hair, down to the middle of my back. I try and only use one styling tool a week to protect my hair from unnecessary heat. Clearly this product is not too damaging because my hair stylist says I barely ever have split ends. She can tell when people use flat irons because the damage from the heat shows. As I stated in the beginning, this product is amazing. Of course not everything can be perfect , my only complaint is that in the center of the iron underneath the heating plates , there’s a circular rubber pad that works when you press down on the plates by releasing steam. You can turn this feature on or off, in case you prefer not to use the steam option. Well my complaint is that sometimes my hair gets caught and pulls when I’m flattening my hair fast. If you take your time you don’t have this issue and I’m sure you can avoid this rubber pad if I lifted my arm more but sometimes I’m in a hurry and I forget. My iron is still working and I’m great condition and I take this thing with me everywhere. It has taken a beaten and had a few falls. I love my flat iron and I love the steam option because it gets rid of any fly always. Give it a try and you will love this tool. If you don’t then return it. I love mine so much I bought one for my daughter. I’ll try and upload pictures.

Very good, what I like most is that you can use it with steam.

I bought this to try it since I have had the L'Oreal Steampod since the summer and I love how it uses steam as it straightens. What I love about the Steampod is that it doesn't feel that it burns my hair and I love that my hair looks like it was blowdried straight and not pin straight like a flat iron makes it. However, I do not like that the Steampod is very bulky and it has pulled my hair and broken some due to the pulling.I bought this for far less than the Steampod and so far, I love the results! It did not make my hair "too straight" but it does straighten it, if that makes sense. It also made my hair so soft and super shiny. The only thing that could be better is that it does not grip the hair and hold it as well while who run it down your hair. That being said, it also does not pull the hair or rip the hair out. I do think that so far, this seems to work better than the Steampod for only a fraction of the price.

After much trial and error, I have finally found the solution for my extremely dry low porosity relaxed hair.I am biracial and have fine hair. Even so, I have a ***LOT*** of it and was always directed toward products that simply did not work for that hair type. My hair went from damaged to extremely dry. The solution is equal parts tools and products.No protein, heavy oils, and no silicones as they coat the hair and prevent my hair from being moisturized. My hair becomes extremely dry and my scalp reacts by creating so much oil which results in dandruff and extremely oily roots. This, of course, would leave me to wash my hair due to the scalp which resulted in a vicious cycle.This iron comes in as the last step as I found that it seals in moisture which results in shiny, silky hair that does not pouf due to absorbing the little moisture from the air (I live in Arizona). It also results in hair that feels and smells like washed hair - no burnt smell at all. Once straightened, the hair **stays** straight. At night, I use a bonnet and wake up to hair that needs one brush through and it still looks great.This flat iron has saved me time, frustration, tears, and money. The only time I have been in love with my hair was when I left the salon. I actually love my hair now - a first. I actually get compliments now.I use about half of the steam cartridge and always make sure to turn the steam on once the iron reaches 430 degrees per the tips that came with the box.The combination that I use is the following:1. Amika Hydro Rush Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave-In Spraya. 4U By Tia Clarifying Shampoo every third wash or so.b. Amika Hair Mask 1x a week or so with weather changesc. The Dream Routine by Amika with weather changes.2. Pureology Color Fanatic Heat Protectant Spray3 Blowdried hair at medium setting with pik attachment to straighten any new growth.4. Dorisilk at 4305. Couple of drops of pure hair oil such as Brigeo (the one with the rose in it as it is light).6. Silk bonnet.Update: I just came back from my stylist and for the first time ever no ends to trim and no complaints about my hair being dry!Update #2: It has been close to about 6 months since I had this product and my hairstylist no longer complains about my hair being dry and one time she forgot to trim the ends because they looked so good!Again, this combined with Amika has saved my hair!

Really good straightener. It’s makes the hair looks texturized. I highly recommend.

Safety hazard, it spits out scalding hot water which is not really acceptable. Tried it a few times in case it was me but it’s wasn’t, water reservoir is very hard to top up and does not even last a full style. The coating on the straighteners is not good either. Now returned it. An okay pair of straighteners but steam pod it is not.
