This is a straightener made with us in mind. It actually keeps its promises! I admit that I wasn’t entirely convinced when I first bought it, because you usually don’t get what you pay for with today’s market and it’s very difficult to find something that really works. I didn’t have any problems with the Karmin G3 though, it worked perfectly from day one and hasn’t let up since. My hair is silky, shiny and generally healthier!
