What does TrueTension actually do?

Instead of a spring-loaded hinge, the plates use electromagnetic tension to hold the hair section with even pressure. The aim is consistent grip so you straighten in fewer passes.

Is it good for thick or curly hair?

The even tension helps on dense sections, which often need repeated passes on weaker irons. Very coarse hair may still need a higher heat setting and smaller sections.

Can I use it for waves and curls?

Yes. The 1-inch plates work for straightening and for bending in waves or curls. The rounded edges help with flipping and curling the ends.

How is it different from a standard flat iron?

The main difference is the tension mechanism and the heavier professional build. A standard iron relies on a spring hinge and usually costs less but grips less evenly.

Does it work on wet hair?

No. Like other flat irons, it is for dry hair. Straightening damp hair can damage it and give uneven results.
