I bought this straightner a few months ago and love it. It's convienent when you have dry or wet hair. It dries wet hair in minutes and straightens dry hair just as fast. The only problem with this straightner is when your hair is wet and your using it, it lets off steam which have burnt my hands quite a few times and is very painful. I recommend using this item if your hair is dry or damp but not soaked. The steam is dangerous but other than that I'd recommend this product.
