This flat iron is tiny, it was even smaller than I expected and it looks like a toy for your daughter’s doll but don’t be fooled it’s worth it weight and then some. It heats up fast and does fantastic curls that hold. It is compact enough to take in a clutch or purse for quick touch ups. I also have the 1″ by John Eber ($25) that I bought for my daughetr, I was impressed with that as well, it worked as good as my $260 FHI, and I’ve since stopped using my FHI. Oh don’t forget it’s also dual voltage, for those trips to Europe and elsewhere!
