gaps in the plates [SEP] it feels very cheap when handling it the temperature is in celsius however there is a chart to help with the levels not sure if if can be switched as nothing in the instructions shows comes with a silicone sleeve and a hot glove which is great however when attempting to style my hair i feel it pulls on my hair and the plates don t close enough to press on the hair i have thin fine and it falls right through the gap even with larger sections and a higher temp it didn t really curl just made weird bumps in different parts of my hair would not recommend unless you had thicker hair then maybe it would work better
