just so so [SEP] i have been using this iron for a couple months now and it is okay as a flat iron but not very good as a curling iron i wanted to use it as a curling iron so it is not a good value for me it leaves creases in my hair i think if it had slightly rounded edges it might be better my regular flat iron curls better i do not know if it is just because i have better control with my flat iron because i can hold the outside of it and twist it and use both hands of my hands then adjust pressure and all thatthis iron you have to wear the heat protectant glove because it is hot all the way around and it makes it difficult to hold the iron with less tension if that makes sense so i find myself holding it a little tighter and then i have the creases i really hoped it would work i will have to keep trying or buy a different iron
