It’s worth the splurge! Not damaging to the hair. So easy to use and I am terrible at doing hair. My hair comes out to silky and soft and full of volume every time. I’m also obsessed with the i.d. App! It literally does all the settings for you so you just let the hair wrap and it does it for you. I resisted this for years because of the price. But I’m truly obsessed with it! LTKBeauty LTKgrwm
