I was recommended this item from my hairdresser friend. I went through chemo a couple years ago and my hair grew back really curly, I also ended up with permanent nerve damage on the left side of my body and can not fully use my arm. I’m only mentioning this because I couldn’t use my normal blow dryer/round brush combo and lived in pony tails. With this product I can use one arm and straighten my hair (as well as drying it).
