Review title is Much better than I expected [SEP] I got this for right under 7 bucks so I didn’t expect much and also didn’t expect it to be full sized. I thought it was a mini. It heats up pretty good. Just like hot tools or conair does.  Good to straighten. Not to curl. I didn’t need another large flat iron so I gave it to my teenager. We have thicker curly hair that takes heat we’ll if that helps at all.
