I was very pleased with the Revlon straightener. Being my first straightener, I was very skeptical. I wanted a good one, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I am very pleased with this product. I have very Thick Frizzy Curly Hair and this product worked great for me. I keep the temp. at around 15 and I use a product called Motions (hair lotion) to help keep my hair straight all day. I haven't had any problems with my hair becoming frizzy. This product is easy to use and is great for beginners.
