I needed a new straightener and I had never seen something like this. I usually have only used a dry ceramic straightener. This one comes with a small water tank to use steam when straightening. Simple and easy to use, fun to unbox. Beautiful white colour. Super fast warm-up ready for use. Can switch between Hydraluxe feature with the press of a button and lock tongs when not in use. Used on my daughter's wavy, curly hair and it straightened and smoothed beautifully.
