Always heed rule #6
My old straightener crapped out after 6 or 7 years, so I decided to spring for a different kind. I have hair down to the middle of my back, it's super thick, frizzy, and curly. I have what people call, a white girl fro. Normally it takes about an hour and a half to two hours to completely straighten my hair.<br />Cons - It gets 4 stars because it arrived with a piece popped off, the controls are really close to the plates, and also it doesn't stand up by itself, which is super dangerous.<br />Pros- It heats up RIDICULOUSLY fast. The cord is really long and I like the swivel. It straightened my hair in 40 minutes. Sounds like forever, but it's a wonderful thing. It came with instructions on how to clean it properly. Refer to rule 6 in your manual, maybe you'll get a good laugh like I did.<br />Overall, a pretty decent straightener and way less expensive than others.
