Ive had this tool for almost a year and I absolutely love it!!! I typically use the round brush attachment ( I have 2C/3A hair ), and it completely straightens and curls it in about 30-35 minutes!! It also lasts so long if you do it right after you wash your hair!! I wont lie, the curling sticks are hard to get down but they look really good after!!! I love this tool 10/10!! (Use hair oil after to make it healthier and shinier!) My curl pattern hasn't deteriorated or been damaged at all either! The only negative is it sometimes catches my hair in the cracks and rips it out.. :(
