Attention because it is smoother looper veeeeeery powerful. By default, it is set at 200 °! It heats quickly. The setting is simple: just press the "Protect" button to lower the temperature. Conversely, to increase, it will be necessary to press the "Intense" fastoche! I have not tested the smoothing to 200 ° because I usually do not exceed 160 °: I have straight hair and I use the straightener occasionally, just to have a nice finish. With this device, I must admit that the result is very nice: you can make beautiful curls easily, just by turning the straightener. However, a friend to Mediterranean hair has tested it and did not hesitate a second to go for it: direct 235 °. The result was really impressive. She has naturally thick hair and "frizzy". 10 minutes flat, his hair (long) were stiff. She was thrilled. The big advantage also lies in the fact it can be used even on damp hair. With my old straightener, do not bother to think otherwise burn to get the wig! In short, it is a great product that I recommend. (ServaneL.)
