I have A LOT of long, naturally curly hair that is fairly difficult for me to control and shape beyond just straightening. I purchased this iron to straighten and curl under or out at the same time (I hate doing 50 different steps to get my hair where I want it and I don't have the time).
This iron will get the job done if you keep your movement fluid with very few pauses during the curl. It heats up quickly and makes the job "easy" (relatively speaking).
However, I can't tell you how many times I've seriously burned my hands since I bought it and I rarely go above the lowest setting of 300. The settings are 300, 340, 375, 410, and 450, I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone needs a setting of 450!
My daughter has gotten into straightening her hair (she's 11) and I absolutely will not let her use this iron alone even though she uses my other very frequently and has no trouble. It just gets too hot.
If you're purchasing this iron, you'll be very pleased but use EXTREME caution with it because it's size and high temperatures make it easy to burn your hands or your head. I would not recommend this for young girls learning to style their hair unless an adult is helping even if they frequently use a larger iron on their own.

My hair stylist and I were talking about straightners and she recommended this one. It is great, and heats up quickly. It has different heat settings, too. It's better for your hair than a Chi because you can control the heat!
