not really worth it [SEP] honestly not loving this straightener i was excited to try it after my hot tools one died which i loved but the teeth on the sides pull your hair and break it so it does not glide easily over hair if you are using it to curl this is even worse and i had to stop multiple times to unwrap my hair completely from it and start over which doesn t leave a very nice curl it also constantly has to reheat every few passes it starts lighting up all the way from the bottom again it s not terrible but would probably not purchase again i did like that it came with the silicone mat though
