Negative Positive
Title: Avoid at all costs!
Review: I bought this straightener to replace an older metal plate model. I was enticed by the promise of shiny smooth hair as the package suggested (note to self: never believe a company's own hype). Sure, it heated up fast, but I had to put it to the highest setting to get it hot enough to work on my hair (loose curls, but fine texture). When I used it on my hair, however, it felt as if the plates were ripping my hair to shreds. The edges of the glass plates are rough, not smooth, which is a big no-no with hair styling appliances. Horrible, horrible, horrible product. I was surprised that this came from Conair, a well-known and long-lived maker of hair tools. I could have laid my wet hair under a set of rough bricks and achieved the same results.
