I am impressed! [SEP] I am very careful with heat that I apply to my hair and I don't use it often, just to keep the hair free from split ends. This worked much better than I anticipated. The infrared didn't seem to hurt my hair and it doesn't have a bunch of frizzees from where it will fall off if the heat is too high. I have had beauticians use to much heat and have that happen. I am pleased with this iron.
