How bad/unbearable is the smell? Is it worth the smell? It seems to be a very good straightener, but if the smell is that bad...

I haven't smelled any kind of odor from this at all. Perhaps it was an issue before, but there's no hint of it now.

It doesn't smell at all unless you melt your hair or apply a lot of product to your hair and then melt the product. I would recommend it:)

No there is not. That is the ONLY thing I would change about it tho! Other than that one feature it is an amazing straightener!!!

It makes my hair smell great! I can't say exactly what it smells like. It is not a very strong smell, not overbearing or anything, but it smells really good. It has a fresh scent to it.

Well everyone is different and I have allergies. The faint rubbery smell did not bother me at all,,...as far as the result, my hair is long and I wear it up a lot...the curls were wonderful..I did use gel with them...so ran into no problem at all...

To me, there is a very faint smell. I never really noticed it before. It's a pleasant fragrance, not over powering at all. I use it after showering, and towel drying my hair. I use very little, and rub in the palms of my hands, and rub it evenly through my hair. My hair feels a little stiff at first, but if I use the blow dryer afterwards, it seems to soften my hair. My hair without it, is very frizzy & dry looking. When I use the Crew hair styling, it gives my hair a nice "shine" and is not dry looking or frizzy at all. I don't use all the time, I try to conserve for when I go out, or someplace special. Boy, when I don't use it though, I wish that I had. To tell you the truth, I never read labels, I just "sniff" the product before using it. If it smells okay, then I use it. This is how I felt about this product. I will buy again, when I start to get low.

I used mine in Europe for about a month and it worked fine. Shortly after I came home though, it died. But, I bought another one. It's my favorite straightener that I've purchased!

I also can't describe the smell...it isn't overbearing, but it smells good (kinda like the shampoo my hairdresser uses). My husband likes it! Hope this helps. :)

The older model worked fine until I had a short in the cord. But it lasted for about six years, so I attributed that to general wear and tear. The newer model does seem less sturdy, I've only had it for about a month but I haven't had any issues with it.As far as it not straightening hair, I have very coarse hair and it straightens it with no problem, in fact I never use the highest heat setting because 415 degrees is hot enough for me, even though it goes up to 450.

I'm not sure about the other one because I never used it, but the purple one started snagging on my hair after the first year of use. The problem is, I only used it occasionally, since I'm not a regular hair straightening gal. But for the price, I think it's a good buy. I just think there are better flat irons out there. Good luck!

I use by Babyliss straightener and it's been fine. I haven't tried their straightener.

I've not had any issues with it pulling out my hair. I actually bought this one because my old straightener used to pull multiple hairs out every time I used it.

Noise is to be expected. It doesn't bother me. I just increase the volume on my TV or speaker a little when styling. It's not as loud as a blow dryer. I use this hot air brush every time I wash! The style lasts until I wash again. I use a large barrel curling iron for touch ups in between. You should use a thermal styling spray...makes a huge difference! I get tons of compliments on my full, shiny hair! The "brush" on the hot air brush controls hair well, but make sure to comb your hair out first. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. I just talked to the manufacturer and they told me that the new units can give off a slight smell because you are introducing heat to the ceramic core. The smell should go away in about a week and it is not harmful in any way. If we can be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact us.

I didn't think it smelled bad if at all. I used it on my porch but I stood with it for a few hours and didn't notice anything or get a headache. I'm pretty sensitive too to smells; perfume usually annoys me and gives me headaches but not the fog :)Hope that Helps

It heats up pretty fast....It works well for me. I would recommend this curling iron. Also it doesn't get too hot, where you have to worry about burning yourself.....Some of the newer irons are dangerously hot, that's just my opinion.
