First off I'd like to say thank you to Misikko for sending me the product! I am not paid to do this review. For the matter of fact, I was looking for an alternative to my Remington Sleek & Curl Styler for this trip to Hong Kong and had read such good reviews about this straightener online. Misikko has such great customer services and the product came within 4 business days.

My thoughts | 
When the straightener is heated up it takes almost no effort in straightening. It's very light-weighted which is perfect for traveling and not getting tired arms. I do find it performs better on straightening then curling, though its meant to be made for both. For its wide temperature range, its easy to get the job done within seconds. I also think the ceramic makes less damages to my hair as it is styled with a shine even without a heat protection spray. I don't have a ton of hair but I notice some slipping (plates not tight all the way) during straightening that distributes uneven heat, and makes curling even harder to control. However its really mild and the corduroy-like grip does help.

My biggest concern is the material - it feels rather cheap to the touch. Thus overall though it's a beyond average heating tool, it would be very difficult for me to splurge that much on a mediocre quality product. I still prefer my Remington Sleek & Curl Styler  unless I am traveling.
