Pros
Pro Lets you do more than just hair straightening
Aside from straightening, it can also be used to curl your hair, due to its rounded corners. This makes it a great alternative to buying a separate hair curler. Simply heat it up, place the iron close to roots, twist your hair towards the back and then twirl the iron until the end section of your hair is flipped downwards.
Pro Heat protection mat helps prevent accidental burns
The straightener comes with a heat protection mat, which provides a safe surface to place your straightener, either during styling or afterwards, when it's cooling down.
Pro Works well with thick and curly hair
For those who have unruly hair, this hair straightener is a good option, as it will straighten even the most stubborn, curly and thick hair. Just run each section a couple of times until the desired result is achieved. It heats up to 230ºC, which works with almost every hair type.
Pro Quick heat-up time
For those who are constantly in a rush, this straightener is a time saver. With a heat-up time of only 30 seconds, the straightener is ready almost instantly.
Pro The plates leave hair frizz-free and smooth
Ceramic plates are known for locking in the moisture, protecting the hair color and straightening hair without it being stuck to the plates. It heats up evenly to allow for a smoother run through the hair and ultimately, a smooth and frizz-free straight hair.
Cons
Con The hair sometimes can get stuck between the plates
Even though the straightener has ceramic plates, some customers still experience hair being stuck between the plates. This unfortunately cannot be rectified for everyone, since it depends on the hair type. If you have this problem and your budget is higher, then there are other options you can consider, such as higher quality straighteners with Argan oil, for example.
Con To achive the desired result, you need to go over the hair a couple of times
Depending on your hair type, it might require going over the sections a couple of times. This is especially true for those with thick or/and curly hair. If you do not mind the extra work, this won't be an issue.
