I bought this item after buying another one, less expensive (which after 3 week of use, just broke down). I was expecting so much about it, since I had a straightener (avocado oil) which lasted for 8 years, this one was a little bit expensive but I didn't care. After 1 week of being using it, I find that I hate it. My hair smells like burnt and it's spongy. I thought you had the same quality as 8 years ago, but clearly you don't.
