it works [SEP] this is a nice product although i am still getting used to it it is quite heavy and a little awkward to use as the the barrel is long it does work though i have fine hair so it doesn t take it long to get it straight this might be better for someone who has more experience with hair maybe even longer hair i have arthritis so it might be why i am struggling with it i will probably stick with a lighter weight straightener and keep this as a back up a bit disappointed i wish the barrel wasn t so long and heavy seems like it s built to last though and that s a plus
