The reviewer finds the wet-to-dry straightener a genuinely excellent and unique tool that roughly halves drying time, but notes it is bulky, not very versatile and the finish is natural rather than poker-straight.

Cuts drying and styling time and is kinder to hair, but it is very expensive, bulky and limited in styles.
