I have a million hair straightners, wet to dry, regular everything. My friend is a hairdresser and there was this one wet to dry one that worked wonders as well but it was $199, I was going to spend the money until i saw this one. I tried it and I Love it!!! I have extremely thick curly hair, I towel dry my hair and use it right on my damp hair and it cuts my hair straightnening process in half. I would definitely recommend this to anyone it works great and it's so in-expensive.
