Today, my credit card got blocked. Apparently, my bank thinks buying a $130 flat iron online is suspicious. FML

my bank assumed a £10 phone bill was suspicious. go to the bank and they solve it in a minute or two.

Why would you spend $130 on a flat iron?

My first thought was that it was an antique iron for clothes, not the one you use on your hair. I have an uncle who collects antique irons (yeah, it's a little weird) and he says they can cost hundreds of dollars, so to me $130 for a flat iron is nothing.

If the purchase originated in another company, your bank with usually notify you or block the transaction until you approve it through them. Honestly, be glad they do this for you. Better safe than sorry

I spent about $130 or so on my Chi iron...in 2002. I still use it all the time and it works perfectly. I also have a $30 ceramic flat iron that I bought when I moved and couldn't find my Chi and it in no way compares to my Chi. I've travelled all over with my Chi and it's been bounced around in luggage God only knows how many times and works as good as the day I bought it. We shell out the dough on certain things for good reasons. Quality costs money people.

#74 Agreed. I bought a $30 flat iron a year ago and it's practically worthless. It sort of straightens, but mostly all it does is fry my hair into oblivion. Are the more expensive ones less damaging?

I think so at least. My $30 one will get the job done but I feel like it fries my hair more. I can get some pretty good steam coming off of my hair with my Chi and it still doesn't look or feel fried.
