I had a very similar conair, that supposedly could straighten wet hair. It was a total waste & will almost certainly ruin your hair. I really wanted to cheat & go from shower to towel to straightener, but it was sooo not worth it.

I finally bought a T3 hair dryer & big round brush, and am able to blow dry my wavy/curly/frizzy hair straightener straight, and rarely have to touch up with the straightener. I haven't invested in a Chi yet, but I will upgrade to that when my sharper image hair-snagging flat iron finally dies.
