This is the absolute WORST flat iron ever. I went to Chatters to replace my Paul Brown that tragically fell on my bathroom floor and broke. The Chatters girl told me that the Kenneth Bernard was the exact same as the Paul Brown so I took it home to try it out. Honestly it was terrible, nothing like my Paul Brown. I had to pull it through the same strip of hair 3 times before it straightened it. It doesn't heat up enough to do anything to my hair. I returned it and bought a Brocato Vibrastrait from somewhere else, and that I love, best straightener ever!
