Review (4/5): Good for long hair, difficult at times for short hair
I love this flat iron despite the one problem I have with it. I wish that the flat iron was skinnier. It’s difficult to get close to my head at certain angles due the flat iron size. If my hair was longer, this would not be a problem. I almost returned the product because of the iron size. But I made some changes to the way that I iron my hair & I think it will work despite the iron size.
The features I like about it:
-steam feature - makes my frizzy hair smoother than a normal flat iron does
-high temperature adjustable heat - makes it so I can iron my hair with less passes from the iron, even if my hair is wet when I’m ironing it - my hair is thick and usually requires more passes, even from a high heat iron, and I have never been able to dry my wet hair by ironing it with any other flat iron in the past
-setting buttons are on the inside handle - I was annoyed with this feature at first, but I realized that this makes it safer to leave plugged in when not in use, when you have small children - I have not had the problems I have had in the past with my kids trying to play with the buttons because of their location
-comes with quite a few extra tools including an extra steam compartment and an easy way to fill the steam compartment - the holes for the filling the steam compartment are really small and would be impossible to fill without provided bottle
-comes with chord Velcro strap - this makes it easy to keep organized despite having a long chord in a small bathroom
Despite my problem with the short hair, I decided to keep it because it works so well. I will also say that I don’t believe the steam feature is protective to hair damage. It just makes the flat iron way more affective with less passes.
