I can’t complain about this hair straightener, it’s sleek looking, not so heavy and it does what it’s supposed to do. buy at a cost of $374. 24 and receive a complimentary straight on heat protection which is roughly to the value of $34. You also get a pop up to join their newsletter for a 5% discount. Unfortunately if you join, you lose out on getting your complimentary gift.
