Is the temperature adjustable or a set high heat? Does this pull on your hair? The only straightener brand I use currently is chi and it never pulls

I love this straight iron. The temp is not adjustable but it gets hot quick. It does not pull hair

Personally, the outside doesn't get too hot for me, which is why I love it. My old straighteners used to get hot all around, causing me to burn my fingers. I guess it just depends on the temperature you have it on. The outside does get hot around the max of 400. But at cooler temperatures, it obviously gets less hot!

It takes approximately 1 minute to heat up. However, I no longer would recommend this straightener. From my own experience, the company has poor customer service and my straightener malfunctioned after having it for a few months. Try a GHD straightener.

No cool setting. Dry is more forceful and uses the wide blower brush. Setting is warm but not forceful. To straighten, instructions on p. 14of instruction book says use blower brush..to curl, use changeable roll brush (available only on EH-KA60. I still have to use a curling iron briefly to curl ends as my hair is short and falls through the brushes.

The ghd is also really great. I have natural 4c hair and I've used the ghd a few times. Its excellent, and has heat settings. If you can then find the right product to keep your hair from "going back" you are set. I was able to get my hair straight and shiny, but as soon as i walked outside it was a pouf again within minutes.

I have been told by my hair dresser to not use the iron over 350-375 degrees. My iron goes up to 450 degrees. I was told to tread lightly on those higher temps in order to not damage my hair. Hope this helps :)

I have long curly hair and I use the high setting. This one isn't very hot or powerful compared to dryers I've used in the past.

I would say depending on the iron you get you can adjust like on mine the temperature. My daughter uses it for her fine hair and it works great, but she does adjust the temperature for her hair.

Yes it works really well on all hair types. I bought it for my teen daughter with thick hair but we also use in on my youngest with fine hair. I own a couple Chi straighteners and this one works almost as well as for the price. It's definitely worth it. I hope that helped.

The temperature is adjustable and it has an on/off button. Best hair straightener ever!

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't want to straighten my hair, just defrizz and loosen curls a bit. Has anyone tried it and cut out some steps? e.g. keeping in hair for less than 48 hours or cutting the blow dry/flat iron?

This is how my hair is except it is very heavy too.. It works well if your hair is dry.. but I found it didn't actually straighten wet.. I did love it however it stopped working after maybe 6 months of scattered use. I am using the remington s9260 one now and It works really well on my hair, it gets really hot so it straightens a lot faster. I only wish I had gone with the 1 inch one instead of the 2 inch since I have a chin length bob so it can be hard to get the shorter peices at the bottom with it.. maybe at some point I will invest in that one too.

Slightly. only use low heat or go over hair quickly. I was able to use a straightener on it, but since it is not real hair you have to take precautions when using heat.

Sadly no it doesn't. But I can adjust the temp with mine since it goes up to 500 degrees my stylist told me no more then 450 on my hair so I keep it at 400-450 most of the time. Not sure why the comment above me said it doesn't have an adjustment nozzle??? It is the best flat iron I've ever used and for the price WOW!

The temperatures go from 300-450. I, too, have fine hair and with other irons have had problems with the plate being different temperatures on the edges from the middle, which ultimately let to serious hair damage. I have not experienced this at all with this iron.

Request replacement from Amazon (yours is defective). Mine defaults to 390 degrees when first turned on and it's a perfect temp. You can decrease or increase (for wet hair) from there. Btw: after a few months of owning, I still love using this Shine Therapy model. Return yours, and you'll see for yourself.

My other sets never did either. I do it by felling the temperature. I know when it's just right versus too hot or not hot enough. Try it at different heat and see how long it takes to curl your hair the way you like it best!
