For the price it would be a shame not. This straightener is perfect, a passage and the hair is smoothed for days (if you stand out of the weather). The wide plates allow work on long, thick hair and the result is superb. The exterior is actually a little warm during use, but nothing unbearable. It comes with short instructions and a storage bag. I have made it 4 stars because I know how long it will last, as long as possible I hope !!
