VODANA Professional Softbar Flat Iron - 0.5 Inch Velvetbar Straightener with Patented Ceramic Technology & Silicone Bar System | Perfect for Salon-Quality Hair Straightening at Home | Fast Heat-Up for Smooth, Shiny Hair | USA Available

It feels somewhat smaller than regular 1 inch iron that I’d used. It heats up fast but doesn’t feel as hot as my other iron, so just need to set at higher number. It feels sturdy, specially the cord connection, it rotates well, so the cord doesn’t twist as much as cheaper ones.If you use it correctly, the non-splitted side to the outside of your hair and splitted side under your hair, then it will leave your hair shinny. If you use it the other way, it doesn’t style well.I like it so far, but not sure if it’s worth the price yet.I bought this because of the Kdrama True beauty and let me tell ya that it didn’t disappoint at all . I love it with all my heart and it is truly the best straightening iron I have ever bought .Flat iron came undamaged, however it did not come with an adaptor or a USA cord.My wife loves this and this brand is well known in the Korean market. I highly recommend this over the other generic ones out there. Very sturdy and irons really well and curls well too! The pastel color is really nice too!You can actually tell a difference with the silicone bar in the middle. My hair doesn't slip out of the straightener anymore. I was rather skeptical at first but I like it. I really like the notch for the grip too.My hairdresser uses vodana hair straighteners (but the professional models) and they work so well that I decided to try this out.It heats ip super fast and works super smoothly. Not much creases left at the top as long as you really stink at it and tilt it in a way that it can't help but make crease marks in your hair (no offense intended). It leaves your haor very smooth, not killing the ends of your hair and splitting them. I haven't tried curling my haor or making slight waves with it yet, but the bar is thin enough that I think it'd be easy to. The tip stays cool, as advertised, which makes it very comfortable and easy to close it down and slide down with your other hand.I definitely recommend this product!Just love it and user friendly!! Like the color and the way it curls my hair
