That all said, it’s a bit heavier than straighteners you might be used to because it has a built-in battery pack — I recently started lifting weights, so this is personally not a huge deal, but one that is worth noting. I will say that for $500, it’s a really expensive straightener. You can technically do those cool-girl S-waves with it too, but I can never manage to make it look as good as with a curling iron. Again, that’s 100% user error on my part, but the gist is that, unlike the Supersonic and Airwrap, it’s not the sort of tool that has myriad attachments to achieve myriad things. In that sense, the value element just isn’t as strong for me.
Verdict: As much as it breaks my heart, I say pass and save your pennies for the Supersonic or Airwrap — unless you’ve literally flat-ironed your hair every day since 2006.
