KQC Straightener

I did a review on a curling iron (Part I, Part II) from flatironexperts.com a while back. I guess it was successful as they sent me a straightener to review as well! This KQC hair ceramic straightener is from flatironexperts as welll.

I haven’t felt confident about a hair straightener in a long time. My 3 year old CHI caught on fire and I replaced it with a fake GHD (which I thought was authentic), it was then replaced by another straightener I received to review.

This one feels more like my CHI used to. You know the noise when you clamp down on your hair and it makes a “pop” closing noise? This is going to sound weird, but it sounds like a higher quality than my other 2 straighteners. It’s not as flimsy and the clamping handles don’t get super hot. Again, it heats up in no time as does most flat irons lately.

It’s pretty awesome. I love it, and I’m thinking of even giving my fake GHD that I bought in December to my co-workers teenage daughter, I’m that confident in this KQC. I’m also grateful that they’re a Canadian company listed in British Columbia so the shipping wasn’t bad at all. I had it in less than a week.

Product modeling shots. Shooting photos in natural sunlight is definitely way better and more vibrant than artificial lighting. I need to remember this. Summer photos are always wonderful looking outside.

Check out the lighting on this closeup. Fire Engine red plates.

No gaps in this straightneer!

Much sleeker looking than a bold colored straightener. Looks more classy and expensive, doesn’t it?

Directions and styling tips.

This KQC retails for$250 on flatironexperts, but it’s on sale now for $159 which also includes free shipping. Some features that I thought were of value in case you were interested in the quality or even purchasing this hair straightener:

  • Produces a dark red color when it reaches the maximum temperature in less than 30 seconds
  • X-Heat generates negative ions to retain hair moisture and reduce frizz
  • Heats up in seconds
  • Variable heat settings from 140° to 410° F
  • Professional 360° swivel cord to prevent tangling
  • One year limited warranty


I’m loving that if you’re not satisfied with your product, you have 30 days Satisfaction money back guarantee. Not many places do that! Check out the reviews online from buyers themselves, KQC received 4½ stars out of 5. Probably one of the better hair straighteners they have online right now.

So far so good. Been using it for two weeks straight, and you can clearly see my straight hair in my OOTD posts where my hair is always straight. Give it a quick sweep over your hair and poof — you have sleek straight locks.

And finally, a neat way to end this review, I decided to post another before and after shot to show you how the KQC makes my hair look in the mornings. Nice hey?

Before: Big Texas hair. After: Sleek neat hair.

Thanks flatironexperts for letting me review this product! I loveeeeeeeeeeeee it.

    Holy cow, your CHI caught on fire!? Shoot, I really need to quit forgetting to turn it off.

    Nancy says: You know where the swivel cord joins the straightener? It started sizzling some weird gas and burned my eyes as I looked at it. I pulled the plug out from the wall immediately, then threw it in the garbage. It was SO weird and scary!!
