Conventional styling irons provide heat that is generated with shorter wavelengths. These heat have wavelengths that are not sufficient to penetrate hair or the scalp for healthy styling. Because of non-penetration, these shorter rays heat the hair surface first and conduct heat to the cortex. The hair is heated by means of conduction from the surface which causes frizzy, dry and damaged hair.
KQC’s X-Heat Technology uses the longer wavelength from Far Infrared technology to generate deep penetrating heat. This penetrates directly into the cortex of hair cuticles, heating from the inside out. It creates an effect that relaxes and softens hair. The hair is heated evenly, giving a gentle fast styling in half the time thereby reducing heat exposure. Water molecules on the surface of the hair break apart into smaller droplets and get absorbed into the hair. Moisture is then locked within the cuticles to give a protective barrier to reduce chemical and bacteria build-up.
Tourmaline / Ceramic Technology: KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Straightener's distributes heat across the entire surface evenly, retains heat more efficiently, and eliminates damaging hot spots. Ceramic emits a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat that helps your hair
1. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft
2. Eliminates frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth and shiny hair
3. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle during styling
Ionic / Negative Ion Technology: Negative ions are atoms that can stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, etc., resulting in healthier hair and scalp as it's Antibacterial. Negative ion energy is powerful enough to break apart clusters of water molecules. The smaller water molecules penetrate into the hair shaft by slipping between the cuticles, adding plumpness/volume to hair. The bombardment of negative ions also closes the hair cuticle, which is very good for the health and appearance of the hair.
Far Infrared Heat : Far Infrared (FIR) rays are electro-magnetic waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, including the hair shaft. It therefore dries the hair from the inside out. The result is that more moisture remains in the hair shaft and there is less damage to the hair.

- The Best Review by Melissa

Let me start off saying that it is the best out there. Well I haven't tried many but it works. I have long extra thick hair and it does the job. I think I have had mine since it first came out I think I have had it for I think 5-6 years and it is still working or about that I can't remember what year it was since I started working in a salon in 2003. I can not tell you how many times I have dropped it and it still works. My flat iron I share with my mother and I can not believe the quality that it is still working now. I have never had anything last for so long specially something I use constantly. I plan to buy 1-2 more for gifts. (Posted on 11/24/11)Overall - The Only Reliable Straightener Review by Caroline A.

I have pretty normal, non- color treated hair. My hair is long, naturally wavy and gets really curly on the bottom layer. Because of this, my hair curls really easily and well with hair straighteners but finding a straightener that can keep my hair straight all day is really hard. I have owned the same Kqc flat iron for six years, and up until yesterday it has worked fine. I am back on this website to order another one! Seriously the best hair straightener ever. It is so light weight and easy to use. I absolutely love my Kqc and it is the only hair straightener that I know will keep my hair straight throughout the day!!

I've had my Chi for years. I went from a $20 walmart straightener to a chi so I thought it was the most amazing thing every. Well after several years of the chi, I felt it was time to upgrade. I googled best straightener and the Kqc was the first to pop up. I decided to bit the $160 bullet and purchased it. SO glad I did. It exceeds my chi by so much it's unreal. My hair hasn't gotten frizzy all day, like it normally did by 2pm with the chi, and I live in a very humid state. It's silky and smooth looking. Don't believe the negative reviews - the Kqc is amazing! (Posted on 10/7/11)Overall - Best Flat Iron Ever Review by Rhonda CA

I have been using a chi for about 3 years, and decided to try the Kqc. Boy have I been missing out the past few years! This is the best flat iron by far I have ever used, way better than my chi! The plates are smoother and better quality and therefore make my hair even smoother when I use it. It's very easy to use and I will be using it for a long time. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great flat iron! (Posted on 10/7/11)Overall - Greatness Review by Stephanie Martin from San Francisco, California

I've had this iron for 2 years now and it still works great. Best beauty investment I ever made. It heats up almost instantly and I can get my hair straight in no time. It just glides through my hair with no tugging. My girl friends always use mine when they get a chance because there's just no comparison to the cheaper irons!Overall

Overall
I am very impressed! This flat iron made my hair pin straight, it also curled my hair perfectly too. I tried both! It heats up quick and I also received a Mini KQC, bain de terre botaniceuticals, KQC Thermal Shine Spray and a sample of Macadamia Deep Repair Masque! This flat iron is worth every penny itself, let alone all the little bonus items!

Overall
Had a Sedu previously until it died. And I bought this product 3 years ago and its still in great condition. Still working as new and I use it everyday. This is the best flat iron I've ever had! Much better then the Sedu or Solia. Price is reasonable for this type of product. I highly recommend this item. (Posted on 10/4/11) - Best thing ever! Review by Lauren from Eskasoni, NS Canada

This is the only straightener that works for me, it leaves my hair feel softer, shinier and makes the color more vibrant and rich. It's also such a time saver, because it heats up so quickly and straightens my hair in one swipe. (Posted on 10/3/11)Overall - Shipped right away & got here fast!
