OMG!! i just bought one and you dont even have to put netin in your hair. my hair is super hard to straighten and i usually have to put TONS of stuff in it.. but with the Chi straightener i dont! =] lol.. i sound like a commercial but you dont need to put neting in it! =] also you might want to get a Royale straightener instead. they both have the ceramic plates and i think it works just a little bit better. theres a pink one fer $200 and a black one fer $150. with the black one you can adjust the temp from 100-400 degrees celcius but the pink one is always 500 degrees celcius.
