Should I buy a Cortex hair iron I saw at Winners?

Hello,


I'll be going to Europe sometime in the summer and I need to buy a flat iron to take with me that would work both there and here. I was thinking of getting a Cortex iron because it seems like a very reasonable price. I've seen it for about $35 in Winners. I don't have much money to spend, which is why I was considering getting the Cortex for this vacation. If I had the money, I would've bought something much better. So anyways I currently own a Chi and it works great. However I can't take a Chi on vacation with me because it says on the label that it should never be used with a voltage adaptor and I also don't think it's fair for me to take it when my sisters and mom use it as well. As for my hair, I have really long (down to the bra strap), naturally curly, super thick and coarse hair. My Chi iron works awesome on me. However when I used a hair iron my mom has that only goes up to 230 degrees, my hair did not straighten that well and it became wavy in a few hours. With the Chi, my hair remains straight for days. I was just wondering if anyone knew whether the Cortex would work well on my hair and if it's a good idea that I want to buy it. Is it damaging? How hot does it get? Do they last long or break easily? Thank you!Should I buy a Cortex hair iron I saw at Winners?
No! Especially with hair like yours, you should never buy a regular store flat iron! Because of certain safety regulations, the ones you see at Winners, Wal-Mart and the like, are only allowed to heat up to a certain degree (which is usually very low, around 250 or 300 - vs a 400 degree CHI). So this will only keep your hair straight for a few hours, if it even works at all. I hope I helped! Have an awesome time in Europe! xxxShould I buy a Cortex hair iron I saw at Winners?
IF YOU HAVE THICK COURSE HAIR BUY AN EXPENSIVE ONE FROM A BEAUTY SUPP;Y STORE THAT HAVE HIGHER TEMPERTURE BECAUSE THAT WORKS . TRY BUYING ON ON EBAY IF A SUPPLY STORE WON'T SELL IT TO YOU SOMETIMES THEY ONLY SELL TO PROFESSIONAL HAIR STYLIST WITH A CERTIFCATION . LOOK FOR ONE WITH HIGHER TEMPERATURE MADE FOR THICKER HAIR.
