I always wanted a steam hair straightener, but since they are so expensive, I always thought it was too much money. Until Bombé came out with a steam hair straightener, I already had a fantastic wave iron from them, so I just thought I'd try it. It heats up super fast, works very easily. It also makes my hair so soft and it stays straight for a few days. That I never have with a normal hair straightener. So this is the perfect invention and I'll never use a normal hair straightener again...
