Seriously?? [SEP] There is no way the temperature settings on this are even close to accurate. I have coarse, tight curls. My usual iron maxes at 410F and a lot of the time I don't even use it on max, and 1 or 2 quick passes on a section and my hair is straight. However, I wanted an iron to use on damp hair so I bought this and am so disappointed. Instead of 1-2 quick passes for stick straight hair, I have to do slow, slow 3-4 passes to get it straight, and even then it's frizzy. I turned it up to supposedly 450 degrees setting and it still doesn't work great. And my hair isn't even full curl, I'm touching up straightening from yesterday. I don't believe for a moment this gets to 450. I don't even believe it gets very close to 400. Would definitely not suggest this iron for coarse hair with much texture.
