To be honest, that was my first thought as well.  I read through two page 4 and then skipped to page 8 of this thread.  I saw similar wording in many different posts.  How many people have described this product as a "godsend".

I'm sure some of the comments are legit, but I'd rather get opinions from someone who has given advice many times on this site.  Yes, I realize I am a newbie -- but I don't dish out advice because I don't have any.

plaajaas,

Wow ... you mean to tell me that I spent 130.00 on this thing and it may not even be ceramic?  How do I find out?  I've had this thing for about 1 year now ... but if it's not ceramic then I should be able to send it back for a refund ... the stupid thing already melted and burned my mom's hair ... now the temperature setting is defective ... What do you think plaajaas?  Thanks!

I used to think that the True Ceramic Pro was the BEST straightener.  I read posts on here with horror stories about the plates melting and hair burning off, etc, etc, etc.  I felt soooooo bad for those people and thanked my lucky stars that I did not get a "defective" one.

Well ... I figured out why my TCP seemed to be "perfect" ... I had never put the heat setting above 270 degrees.  I usually straighten my hair with no more than 200 degrees but the other day my mom asked me to straighten her hair.  Since her hair is very course I used the highest heat setting it could go on and SURPRISE -- it started to melt.  The plates turned beat red ... the glue started to seep out from the sides of the plates and it actually burned a piece of my moms hair (that I had to cut off -- thank god it was the end of a short layer so it wasn't noticable when i cut it).

So, mystery solved ... the TCP works great on the low settings ... but, turn it up and it starts to melt.  My TCP no longer works on anything other than 200 degrees ... if i turn it up to 270 it starts to get really hot and I have to turn it off.  What a waste of money ... for that price ... 130.00 when everything is said and done ... it should have NO defects.

Save your money and invest in one of the other hot irons people rave about on here.

I hope this helps someone.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being a newbie....Its just odd how they all seem to be on this one post....almost as if someone was registering....just to talk up about the product.

Funny how this post contains all newbies and unregistered guests....I don't think I'll listen to a word anyone has said....

Sounds like advertisement of some kind.

I ordered the TCP about 1 month ago and received it yesterday.  After 15 minutes of use I noticed very small red paint flakes all over the vanity.  The paint was gone off of the iron where my hair was passing through it.  It was bare silver metal exposed.  Truely Fake Ceramic Pro.  I can't figure why the company would sell something fake for $140 when it would be more profitable for them to put the ceramic plates in the item and actually not have a high return rate.  Expect long wait time when calling for the Return Authorization Number.  Sounds like if you don't get it mailed back to them promptly, the 30-day trial will pass and you'll get billed on your credit card anyway. 

I have naturally curly thick hair to my waist.  Never had straight smooth hair before, and have never been able to run my fingers through my hair.  After using this iron, it did do as shown on t.v.  The frizz going in to the iron came out smooth and soft.  Quite an experience.  So, I don't feel I'm out anything if they don't charge my credit card for the remaining balance.  For $14.95 shipping, I am allowed to keep all the extra items - which seem to be of good quality.

It's just a shame they advertise that it is a TRUE CERAMIC, and not to be fooled by the imitations that have paint over metal.  I'm disappointed in myself for falling for an infomercial. 

Hi all,

I order the TCP because i too saw the informercial and also from reading the posts here. So far it works good...had it for a week. The only problem is the first time i used it, some of the red stuff on one of the plates came off....i thought this thing was supposed to be 100% ceramic? I see reflective stuff under the parts that came off...like metal and if you look closely at the plates...they just look like iron that has been sprayed with this red stuff, cause the plates look cut and looks like metal. Also, in gift certificate....i go to the website to see what they have to offer and i keep getting the true ceramic pro ad. There's no section where they offer other things to use this certificate on. In the pamphlet they included it says if you have questions, comments or concerns to go to advancedbeautysolutions.com again, it's just the TCP website and there is no place that says to contact us by email or comments. I do like the product but, i don't think i'm going to keep it, i still don't think it's 100% ceramic.

Thanks,
