I have decently tight curls, resembling loose ringlets. I have yet for 23 years been able to find a straightener that doesn’t take me hours to straighten my hair. I bought this BaByliss Pro and it is worth the price! People say you get what you pay for and I’m finally realizing sometimes you need to pay the money. I straightened my entire head of thick, curly hair in about 25 minutes. The adjustable temp is great, I use it at about 415 degrees. I needed an iron with a hot temp and this is great! The swivel cord is great for straightening in the bathroom or small areas and the cord is great length! I would highly recommend this!
