Review title is yes and no, but overall i don't think its worth the price :( [SEP] this is a great tool for a professional perhaps and ppl with bad hands as it is easy on the hands considering you don't have to squeeze to use it. also prob would only recommend for someone whose hair is easy to curl & keeps a curl easily.  i have coarse hair that is very hard to curl and this curls it (on the highest heat) so that's a plus. unfortunately the curls don't last at all :( also, considering you have to pull it thru your hair, you can't use any kind of product that is sticky cuz your hair will stick to the plates and become harder to pull thru resulting in ripped/pulled hairs. better off with a good old fashioned curling iron as you can spray away with hairspray & no pulling! if the curl it made held better, wouldn't need so much hairspray to keep it but unfortunately isn't the case for my thick coarse hair.
