quick and easy to use
This was an unexpected little surprise.  I will admit upfront, I *purchased this free to review* it.<br /><br />I do not end up purchasing everything I am offered, I do not believe in purchasing things, or taking things I will not use.  This, however, was intriguing to me.  I have long hair that is past my waist and I already use hair straighteners and curling wands.  I am 43 and with long hair, one must be careful to not fall into the category of having old lady hair that should not be long.  I love my hair and love good hair styling products and hair products in general.<br /><br />The brush registers in Celsius, but the instructions tell you what settings to use, so, getting past the learning curve, it is easy.  The thing can get HOT!  And I would not just set it on the counter.  The back of it gets very hot, even when it is cooling down.<br /><br />A CON is where the buttons are located.  When I am using it, I keep turning it, either, off, or hotter or cooler.  The buttons are in a very, very, bad spot.<br /><br />I have used this on slightly damp hair and dry hair and I say it works best on slightly damp hair.  Small sections also work the best.<br /><br />I have not had any problems with melting plastic or anything.  No weird smells.  No hair burning.<br /><br />Does it make my hair straighter?  Actually ... yes!  And softer too.  That was the pleasantly surprised part.  Do I like this better than my name brand hair straightener?  I don't know.  I think I like them both differently.  I think this straightener is faster.  I think my name brand straightener makes for smoother hair.  I guess I am also afraid of damaging my hair and since this is made out of country, I do not know much about the ceramics used and so I am very conservative and cautious when I use this.<br /><br />I have attached a picture of before and after use.  This was damp, just showered hair.<br /><br />Overall, a good purchase.  I plan on using it often.
