Customer Reviews of Infiniti by Conair BC173 Professional Tourmaline Ceramic Wet Dry Straightening Hot Air Styler
Customer Review: An Excellent Idea But A Costly Dissapointment
Summary: 2 Stars
Our 13 year old daughter begged my wife and I to get this Infiniti BC173 Tourmaline Ceramic Straightening Hot Air Styler for her as a Christmas gift. We hesitated to spend $50 on this unit, without knowing if it would live up to its claims, but we gave in and bought it for her anyway. She squealed with excitement when she opened her gift. She couldn't wait to break it out of its box and try it right away. After taking a shower she decided to give it a try. She fought with this device for almost 30 minutes before giving up. The unit wouldn't grip her hair well enough and it just didn't dry her dair much at all. I told her that I had read several reviews that indicated a learning curve before getting the wanted results from this hot air styler. After ner next shower she dryed her dair most of the way with a hair dryer. She then tried the Conair Infiniti BC173 again, but the end results were nearly the same. She noticed that this air styler seemed to add a mild frizziness to her hair, even though the unit is supposed to prevent frizzy hair.
Our daughter has used this product again and again, over the past several weeks, and she has determined that the unit is just not for her. She ended up spending some Christmas money on a good hair dryer and a cheap hair straightener. She now gets the desired results, and this Conair Infiniti BC173 is just sitting, unused, in a bathroom drawer. She says that she will still try it again, in the future, but overall it looks as though we have wasted our money on this fairly expensive product. My wife has tried it as well, as seems to be slightly better results, but still this model is certainly not worth the inflated price tag.
The biggest problem seems to be that the hair is not held tight enough against the ceramic elements. The dryer feature just doesn't do much drying, and the lack of proper hair tension allows the hair to become slightly frizzy, and just doesn't straighten well at all. I think this product is a great idea, and the BC173 certainly feels well built and looks very cute. However, the usefulness of this tool is questionable, and my wife and I are not too happy about spending $50 for something that will likely remain in a drawer over the months and years to come. Because of these dissapointing results, I would not recommend this product to anyone. If Conair can improve on the design, adding more tension in holding the hair in place against the ceramic elements, I think they will have a real winner. I hope it works better for other consumers, but my wife and daugher have nothing but dissapointment in this ceramic wet/dry straightening air styler. We learned a valuable (but rather expensive) lesson. Think seriously before buying this product. It may work wonderfully for some but seems to be a real letdown for others.
