huge disappointment [SEP] i had such high expectations for this unfortunately right out of the box it will barely get hot first it takes almost fifteen minutes for it to reach its supposed highest temperature but even when it says it is there i can put my finger on the ceramic plate and it does not burn it is very warm at best it will not even slightly straighten my already very thin stick straight hair and it certainly will not curl it it came in nice packaging and looks like a high end hair tool but it is lacking in quality big time i am very bummed
