- Is it good for thick or curly hair?
- Yes. The 1.4-inch plates and 455°F top heat suit thick, long and curly hair that needs fewer passes. Fine or short hair is harder to style with plates this wide.
- How hot does it get?
- It tops out at 455°F across six settings, starting at 284°F. That range covers delicate hair at the low end and coarse hair at the top.
- Does it have auto shut-off?
- Yes, it switches off after about 25 minutes of inactivity. The swivel cord is nearly 98 inches long.
- What comes in the box?
- The straightener, a heat-resistant glove and the plate lock are included. It is a corded model, so there is no charging case.
- How does it compare with a standard 1-inch straightener?
- It covers more hair per pass and is better for long, thick hair. A narrower iron is lighter and easier for short hair, bangs and root volume.
