If you’re on a budget but want luscious locks, this is the one for you. Easy to hold and operate, this basic straightener runs easily over hair and punches way above its price. Also, the two ceramic plates can be locked together, which makes storage easier. this is my first straigner i bought because it was pink and a portion of the proceeds goes to breast cancer awareness which is such a great cause. i also love the fact that the straigner has air holes so the steam can easily flow out. nice swivel cord lock and on and off switch plus it is much more affordable than a ghd amounting to under R100! cerramic plates help the hair to retain moisture and shine
