content: I ordered it, thinking it was something else, and then when it arrived, I was intrigued and had to try it. Okay, it will straighten but not certain the point of it. I can't use it to curl the ends and it seems a flat iron would do a better job. I used it once, didn't like it. Tried it the second time to see if I just wasn't using it right, and still wasn't thrilled. It is now in my dead heap pile of unused hair gadgets.
