I purchased this for my twins. They are 13 and are athletes. Styling their hair is a low priority for them. They hate blow drying their hair, flat irons scare them, and most of time I am lucky they even brush their hair. One has thick coarse hair and the other has thick but fine hair if that makes any sense. Both have wavy hair that will frizz.

This straightener was more than I could have hoped for. It heats up quickly. They are able to use it on their own without burning themselves. The ends of the brush do not get hot. The few times we have used it, it has done a good job of straightening those untamely waves. I do recommend doing your hair in sections (it did come with a few clips to help you do this) if you are looking for a completely straight style. But if all you are going for is taming some unruly hair that will be straight in the end with a few passes, then this is the product for you. I wish I had found this and tried it before I bought my expensive, fancy flat iron. I could see us using this product on the go to, to freshen up our hair.

My only complaint is that it is a little heavy, but other than that, I would definitely recommend giving this product a try.

I also have to say, because I was skeptical about this product and brand (only because I had never bought them before) I immediately registered our brush for the lifetime warranty. They immediately emailed me back confirming my registration and checked to see how we liked the product. That is an A+ in my book.
