works well [SEP] i am typically a bit skeptical about how well a straightener brush will work but this one did a pretty decent job i did not snap any pictures but it did leave my hair mostly straight in a pretty fast time frame a flat iron would have left it straighter but would have taken longer so this is a nice alternative i have thick curly hair i did use a heat spray on my hair when i straightened it so that might have helped some the lcd screen was a bit annoying the temp did not change smoothly so i just left it on a certain temp and went with iti did receive this for a discounted price for my fair and unbiased review i do not guarantee a star review in exchange for the discount
