Conair Straightening Iron

I'm honestly not sure which straightening iron this is. Perhaps this one? I bought it a while back, so I forget the specifics. It served its purpose for a while, but I was never completely happy with it. It merely makes my hair less wavy. Not straight. Not by a long shot. I guess it doesn't get quite hot enough. Also, it feels like my hair is being ripped out by the roots when I use it. Oh, wait. My hair IS being ripped out by the roots when I use it. Whatever hair is left is then broken in half. I can look down at the bathroom sink and see enough mutilated hair to make a toupee for Sasquatch after a campfire mishap. I originally bought it because it was pretty cheap, around $19.99, and I'm a broke little lass. I guess you truly get what you pay for. My hair is at an in-between stage right now, so I couldn't take the painful mediocrity any longer. A few months ago, when my husband's job still let him have overtime and we could afford it, I bought a better one, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow. Now don't get me wrong, the new one is not one of those $79.99 - $100.00 devices - I absolutely cannot afford that. But it was a bit more than this one, and so much better than mediocre.
