i was really excited when i bought this straightener/curler as i thought it was cheap and it had many different uses. the book enclosed was very handy as it showed how to create different effects and was an easy to use guide. BUT i was quite disappointed... firstly it took ages to heat up, roughly about 15 minutes, which although it says so on the box, its too long if you're in a rush to go out. it shows when it is heated by a little dot turning red, which is good, and had a little stand to stop it from touching the floor. secondly, the temperature isnt very high, and it didnt work well with my full hair. the only gadget that worked well was the smallest curler! i wouldnt recommend it to tthose who have thicker hair, but it might work with those of you with thinner hair. i've tried other brands, and they seem to work much better!!
