Got this because of the reviews that said it worked really well on thick, wavy hair. It eventually makes my hair pretty straight, for the most part, but I do have to go over small pieces many times even on the highest temperature setting. I was expecting better based on other reviews and the price point. I will say it doesn't make my hair smell like it's burning every time like my cheap straightener did, so probably better quality in that regard.
I'm so glad to have this iron back in my life! I had one before, for years, and it finally gave out and I tried others but they just don't compare to this one. I absolutely love this iron.
