" ... My last hair straightener was bought almost 10 years ago, and I can't believe technology has come this far. ... The rotator where the cord connects to the wand makes it so that you can even curl your hair. ... "
" ... leaves hair so smooth ... "
" ... This works really well and unlike other flat irons, I don’t have to keep going over my hair several times to get it straight. ... "
" ... I straighten my hair every single day. ... This one glides sooo smoothly and straightens your hair on the first go, no need to go in a second time or go slowly. ... "
" ... Replaced a more expensive hair iron with this and it works great. ... "
" ... Best Hair Straightener Ever. ... "
" ... I was first very sceptical about how well the straightener would work because the price is so cheap but it's actually one of the best ones and I've had a lot of straighteners. ... "
" ... can be done in 5 minutes for short hair ... "

" ... My wife said it was good purchase for the price. ... "
" ... It works well and is ok for the price but next time I would probably spend a little more for a better product. ... "

" ... Heats up faster than my last flat iron that I bought from my hair dresser friend. ... "
" ... After using it for only a few minutes, my hair was pin straight and had no frizz or poof. ... "
" ... Works very well, heat fast and doesn't pull hair. ... "
" ... It heats up super fast up to 410F, which is more than enough to straighten my hair. ... "
" ... Its fast, it heats up quick, I dont hit the power off button as I have with others, it doesn't pull your hair at all. ... "
" ... The one I had before had a feature to straighten wet hair. ... I am very glad about the size as well since I use the iron for curling my hair too. ... "
" ... I'm also glad the temperature is adjustable because I don't want to damage my already bleach-ravaged hair, so I always put it on the lowest setting which is hot enough to straighten my ultra curly hair, but not so hot that it will damage it with one swipe. ... "
" ... The flat iron works great, heated up super quick and didn't pull any hair while pulling through, which a lot of cheap irons tend to do. ... "
