True Ceramic Pro

i have seen the infomercial on tv several times and ive been dying to get it ever since. i really wanna try it. i have very thick, coarse hair thats very hard to work with. i never leave it down since it could never look as smooth, straight, silky as any normal hair if if was down so i always have it in a bun. im so tired of always looking like a guy cuz my hair is always back.

i went to a store "showcase: as seen on tv" hoping that id find true ceramic pro there, but instead they had BABYBLISS which btw looks so much like true ceramic pro. its red and has narrow plates too! at first when i saw it, i thought it was an immitation of tcp but when i looked at the price of the item, i was astonished to find $179.00 to be the actual price!! i live in canada and tcp would cost around $154-160 if i ordered it from the states. has anyone used the BABYBLISS before?? ive heard that it works wonders as well, maybe even better. the thing is i dont want to have to wait for the true cemaric pro (since it could take awhile for me to get it) but i dont mind waiting at all. but if BABYBLISS costs more than tcp, it must be a really good product as well. im thinking of getting babybliss because i can just get it anytime. although it costs a bit more than tcp, im willing to try it. they look so similar anyway.

anyone know anything about the straightener BABYBLISS?

hey im a male would it work on me if i had pretty long hair like medium long.

i saw the commercial for the first time this week and said hmmmmm it doesnt straightern the "colored" ladies hair that much, it straightens but still appears untexturized, they state in the commercial "straightens without chemicals" hah, NOTHIN straightens like sodium hyroxide lye for us coloreds. ANYYYYYWAYyyyyy
i'd still like to try it. I'm waiting to read on here if any african-american (a description i personally dont consider myself, as "colored" is more descriptive or 'afro-american'. However Have any blacks used it who have kinky-unruly hair like mine, i used to have a chemical straightener and wore a "wrap" and my hari never grew so fast or looked so healthy. I'm bald again now that i DONT chemically straighten. okay. so much for that! I own a ceramic straightener but it isnt an "ionic-infrared, instant heating insturment that heats to 400 (crazy) degrees like the commercial says.

Hello,

I am the same person who posted a very long posting about the true ceramic pro on page 3, saying "this is the best iron I have ever used on my hair in my life!". I just wanted to make it very clear to everyone who read my posting that I am mixed. I have fine, curly, very wavy hair, and because I am multiracial, I have different textures of hair on my head. Both of my parents are mixed and I came out with hair that is a combination of both of them.
My dad is Jamaican,French,Irish, and Souix Native American and my mom is Russian Jew, Black,white, and Choctaw Native American. But I think that many or most people when they see me, can see that I am part black, of which I feel very blessed to be!

I said all of that because it is so hard for me to describe the kind of hair that I have in writing, but I am a mixed girl and mostly all of the friends I have had growing up, are biracial (black & white) and each one of my friends, has a different hair type. One has more coarse, thick hair, the other has soft spirals, and me, kind of a combination of it all! So, I can't really say for sure if the tcp will work for you, because everyone is unique and different, but it has really worked for my hair and it has made my hair straight, soft, and more shiny and the results have lasted a very long time! Praise God!

I would advise anyone with fine hair or fine hair ends, please do not put the iron at the highest setting right away, try the lower setting first, then gradually increase the temperature as needed.

If you have very dry or damaged ends, using a little ethnic moisturizing conditioner on the ends of your hair may be of great benefit, I found, for me, it helped the cuticle to lie flatter and gave a nice shine at the ends.

Also, if you have not read my posting on page 3, please read it. In the posting I explained more indepth my experience with the tcp iron.

I hope that this posting has helped anyone with mixed hair or a parent of a child with mixed hair.

Additional Note:
Also, I think that people who have very coarse or "kinky" hair should try the true ceramic pro, because I believe that it can help reduce the need for relaxing the hair every 4 to 6 weeks and at the proper heat setting for hair type, can cause less damage to the hair than chemicals.

To anyone who is reading this who has very coarse hair, don't be concerned about not seeing alot of postings from people who have the exact same hair type as you do. My advise is to try the True Ceramic Pro and see how it works for you. You will not know for sure unless you try it. I am saying this because I think that alot of people with very coarse, curly hair are hesitant to try the tcp iron because they think that the tcp won't work for them because their hair is too coarse or curly, but I don't believe that is true. Everyone is truly individual and unique and even though you may not see a reflection of yourself represented in the infomercial, that doesn't mean it won't work for you! Please try the True Ceramic Pro and let us know how it worked for you!

Jesus loves you!

Hey everyone,

Last night I pretty much couldn't sleep no matter what I tried. I was up at 5:00 am and saw the infomercial for the True Ceramic Pro. I am such a skeptic, but I figured that if anything I could return it within the 30 days...so I ordered it. I have extremely straight and fine hair that does NOT hold a style. That's not the main thing that sold me on the product...the resistance to humidity sold me. I cannot even express how horrible my hair looks when it's humid. I have spent at least a hundred dollars on these so called "humidity resistant sleek and shine" serums and NONE of them have EVER worked for me in the humidity. Whenever I watch the news and see that the next day/week will be humid I become miserable...literally miserable because I know what a wreck I will look like. My True Ceramic Pro should be here within 3-5 weeks and I will DEFINITELY let you guys know how it works for me. I'm keeping my hopes up and my fingers crossed. If anyone is like me...with the whole humidity thing...can you please reply and let me know how it worked for you? Thanks!

Krystle... I ordered mine a few days ago (online) and they gave me no indication of when it might arrive (or by what method -- UPS, regular mail, etc.). I even wrote to them to ask and they sent me a form email thanking me for my order and telling me to write to the address that I already wrote to (!) if I had any questions. In other words, they didn't answer my question.

So I was wondering... did you order by phone, by mail, or online? I'm guessing it was my phone and that a "real person" told you it would be 3-5 weeks, but if you can clarify that for me, I'd really appreciate it. Some others here got theirs within a WEEK or so -- I wonder how much they bribed the rep on the phone to get it so fast? Just kidding, of course.

Thanks,
Helaine

Hello everyone!!

I ordered mine on Jan 7th and it came today! I was so happy because they told me it would take 3-5 weeks.....

I couldn't believe how well it worked on my hair. This site has been very helpful and it was actually what convinced me to try tcp. Thanks everyone!!

does anyone know if you can order the true ceramic pro online?

Nylane and Liltee.... I'd be VERY surprised if I receive the TCP as quickly as you did, but I sure would be happy. The sooner we can try it on my daughter's hair, the better! At least they only charged the shipping cost on my credit card. I guess when they send it out they start billing the installments.

And thanks for letting me know that I can call the toll-free number for a status report. They sure don't answer their email, so I don't advise anyone to use that as a resource for getting answers!

Has anyone had any experience using the iron from Sally Beauty Supply that''s like the True Ceramic Pro?

The iron is part of their "Ion" line of dryers and irons, and it has all the features of the TCP, including the negative ion stuff that seals the moisture into your hair. At the store, the sign for the iron says, "As Seen on TV," so I think they''re trying to compete.

Anyway, the iron costs $99.99, and through the end of January, they''re giving away a $27.00 Ionic blowdryer if you buy the iron. Using the green card at Sally''s makes the deal even better, spend $2. to get the discount card, and the iron and free blowdryer only cost $89.99!

I was a little wierded out by TCP not explaining the costs of everything on their infomercial, and then several people here have had shipping problems (delays and things not packed well, might be used, etc.). So.... I''m trying to figure out if going with the Sally option might be cheaper and easier for the same function.

If you know anything about this one, I''d appreciate hearing your opinions.

Thanks!
