There is still much debate as to which flat iron is the best flat iron for your hair. Although we have already provided a review on Amika flat irons which also got alot of great feedback from our readers. Just checkout out some of the comments made by our readers here. We have decided to update with a new review since Amika flat irons are popping up everywhere with reviews.
You literally can go to Youtube and search for “amika flat iron” and see a ton of video reviews.
The idea of this article is to cover the pros and cons of the Amika flat iron to maybe help someone who is on the fence about purchasing it decide one way or another.
We’ll start with the pros.
Amika Flat Iron Pros
- It’s really great at straightening thick/coarse hair with one pass through
- You can curl your hair with it (See the video review below for the demonstration on curling)
- Straightens hair quickly
- It leaves your hair silky, shiny and healthy looking
- Has a swivel cord
- You control the temperature with heat settings from 175°F-400°F
- It has a 1 year warranty if purchased through Folica
Amika Flat Iron Cons
- May not function very long. Some customers have said that as early as 6 months and as late as 2 years, their Amika flat iron broke: plates fell off, the iron started smelling really bad whenever used, pulled their hair even after cleaning because of product build up on the plates and burned/damaged their hair.
- Doesn’t warm up as fast as some other best selling flat irons such as GHD.
- Occasionally pulls your hair (hair gets caught on the end of the plates)
Amika Flat Iron Video Reviews
To be fair I am going to share with you two different video reviews each expressing different opinions. One reviewer is honest about the negative aspects of the Amika flat iron and the other reviewer raves about how great it is. Enjoy both of them and I hope they help with your purchase decision.
