I would highly recommend these. I've always struggled with straighteners, always thought it was just my hair or my rubbish skill that meant it never got as straight when I did it at home as it does when the hairdressers did it. Turns out thats not the case at all. I have never had hair that is straighter, softer, and easier to do than since I got these. They're amazing. My hair is so soft, they straighten very quickly and it stays straight. Cant recommend enough. Much prefer these over regular ceramic straighteners. A++++++
