I have very thick and frizzy and curly hair and smoothing the hair almost always. The Air Styler is awesome: The hair is relatively fast and to my mind also gently getrockend. They are styled silky smooth and beautiful. When I bought the machine, I said jokingly that I like to buy, then when I so looked like the woman in the picture. Today I can say that I was probably never so close with any device !!! :-)
