Best part is the large plates.
I have used this off and on for probably two or three years (never more than twice a week) and have never had a problem with it. It works either just as good or very close to when I first got it. The very best thing about this is how large the plates are. It makes straightening my hair so much faster. You can use larger, thicker sections at a time. I use probably just a third of the amount of strokes that I usually use. I have to go over my baby hairs three times to get all the waves out, though. I cannot curl my hair with it because I find the plates are just too wide and it gets stuck when dragging it downward. I have not noticed any more damage than usual compared to other flat irons. I have used this on my friends short, curly hair, and it came out fantastic! It was really smooth and sleek. Effectiveness You have to use less sections, but you have to go over frizzy sections a couple more times. Durability It has worked well for many years.
