It’s extremely tiring to have thick hair and a flat iron that won’t do its job properly. First you have to wait for it to heat up, then go over locks of your hair over and over again until it’s more or less straight and risk your hair’s health in the process. A the end your arm is ready to fall off and the results were nothing like you wanted for your hair but you have to deal with it. When I bought the Karmin G3 Salon Pro, these problems ceased to exist and I enjoy a swift straightening process with amazing results afterwards. And my arm is still attached!
