This hair straightener works a lot better than I was expecting. It was about half the price of most well known hair straighteners so I was skeptical of the quality. But after testing it out I was blown away. It works just as well as the leading brands! My hair was straightened in no time and I have a hard time sometimes because my hair is so curly and frizzy. It left my hair feeling nice and smooth and I absolutely love it! I also have had issues in the past with forgetting to turn off my straightener and waking up the next morning amazed that the house didn't burn down. This straightener has a one hour auto shut off in case you forget!!
