My hair isn't sleek straight but it's straight enough. Why do I need to iron? Well, I bought this because I cut other people's hair and I've found some would prefer to have a sleek straight hair rather than the normal blow-dried hair. I have searched for a good flat iron that I could invest in and easy to bring along. I have found the one.
JBL is actually a home tv shopping company in the US. I haven't checked if they do home tv shopping down here in the Philippines. But I saw all those hair demonstration inside the malls. I just gave in and asked them to do my hair.
I was amazed, I love the outcome! I asked a couple of questions, then I bought it!

WetStraightPro says ---- Ionic technology retains moisture, protects your hair and reduces frizz

- Use on towel dried hair
- Titanium plates for fast results - heats in just 120 seconds
- heats to salon temperature of 210 degree celcius

Askmewhats says ---Pros- lightweight
- heats easily
- has temperature control so it won't get too harsh on my hair
- does its job in straightening and it stays for the whole day, or until you wash your hair
- the swivel cord definitely helps especially if you iron your own hair
Cons- I find it drying, so I suggest not to use this everyday
(well all heating tools are bad if used too frequently)
OverallThis is surprisingly a good product. I've originally wanted a ceramic flat iron, but I have seen a lot of branded irons that have ceramic but just "the exterior", and I was told that if you dropped the iron, the ceramic will break. I suggest to use a heat protective shampoo and conditioner like Thermasilk and do not apply any leave on conditioner as these have "oil" as part of the ingredients which can "burn" your hair. Use smoothening serum AFTER ironing.
TipTest on the temperature setting and see which temperature works best for you. Start with the lowest. I was advised by the salesman to use the highest setting, I did and it hurts my scalp and head. I tried from the bottom and at the end found out 180 degrees works fine for my hair!
Will I repurchase?If this broke less than 3 yrs, I won't repurchase!

(Don't worry, I don't normally have this kind of hair,
this is just too straight, I prefer a bit of wave!)
I'd love to invest in a good curling iron for now!I want the big curling irons!
Are you into curling or straightening?
I am into BOTH!
