I bought this recently, i have thick hair with my extensions, i had to blow dry to damp hair as recommended, it definitely works great, doesn't necessarily save me time. it is also a little bit heavy for a lot of hair. i work out and have pretty good resistance but it is a bit heavy for repetitive use. For me, i have to run it over my thick hair about 3 or four times, when damp to dry/flatten. when in the smooth or just flat iron mode, it works nice. i will use it since i bought it however i think i had higher expectations.

I had such high hopes but the duet fell short of expectations. Instead of drying and flat ironing in one step, it did neither well. I'm a huge GHD platinum fan, but this was proved WAY too high to not properly work.

I have fairly long, thick, 2b hair. Generally when I blow dry my hair it winds up frizzy, and takes forever. Holy moly is this thing awesome. It takes me about 20 minutes from wet for my hair to be done. It looks great and the style lasts for days. It is definitely a little heavy, and starting up it's loud. That being said, I genuinely love it and am giving away my other tools. I did receive this tool for free, but that did not influence my opinion.

I received this just yesterday... I was super excited to try it and didn't want to wait to take a shower and wash my hair so I wet my hair and attempted to blow dry and flat iron it... and I'll be honest I wasn't happy at all but then I thought okay let me wash my hair and start all over per the recommendations... so I washed my hair towel dried it added heat protectant and my other styling products to protect my hair like I normally would before blow drying or flat ironing and I began to blow dry my hair. 1st of all the claim of 90ﾟ heat I personally think is false IMO... so when you 1st start blow drying your hair it does feel like it's about about 90° but the longer you use it the hotter it gets... my scalp burned several times. Separate from that... when you first straighten your hair with the blow dryer, it does look good... however after approximately 20 to 30 minutes my hair was extremely frizzy... so I decided to use the flat iron as well thinking that would help and not only does it not work like your traditional flat iron or your traditional ghd flat iron because I actually do have the ghd Platinum Plus which I love... this flat iron makes my hair look really dry and actually looked like my hair was completely breaking off. I understand this is not a regular flat iron but the claim is that it will get just as hot as your traditional flat iron which is 365°. Either way... this tool made my hair look and feel dry and broken. I also have naturally curly hair... This tool might work for someone who has naturally straight hair or maybe with a little bit of a wave to it but if you have course "ethnic" hair I don't know that this is going to be the tool for you. just as an fyi... I know my hair tools... I have more hair tools than I'd like to admit... so I know my stuff... but again... try it for yourself... hopefully it'll work better for you.

I was very skeptical when I first received this product. let me tell y'all… GO GET IT! I have very curly hair that's hard to straighten easily especially once it dries. I've been using this and while it's drying my hair it's also straightening it! Literal game changer. It leaves my hair looking flawless! Switch on the shine shot once your hair is completely dry, and you'll have no frizz whatsoever! After testing it and seeing my curls overtime, i can 100% say it hasn't damaged them one bit!
