Pros- its light weight, does what it says, dries my wet (thin but dense) hair and straigtens. It is a pretty contraption and it has adjustable heat which is nice.Cons- my Hair gets caught in the frame of it and pulled out which is both painful and frustrating. And it happens so frequently and it is such a big deal that if i had the money i would go ahead and pass it to my little sister and buy a new one.I do not have said money and it doesss do what it is supposed to so for now i can continue to use it and thats why it got a 2 instead of a 1.
