FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the 3rd generation and regular iron?
A: The only difference between the 3rd generation and regular iron is that the 3rd generation has slightly longer plates than the regular iron. Neither of these flat irons are of the current generation, which is why they're being sold so cheaply. That said, the regular iron is a great purchase and can curl or straighten hair, doesn't burn, and the temperature can be easily adjusted. The only warning is that it doesn't have an automatic turn-off, so you need to be someone who can always remember to turn it off or unplug it.

Q: Does it work well on African American or mixed curly hair?
A: Many users have not specified which model they have, but both the $36.99 and $109 models are suitable for thick and curly hair. The more expensive model has a digital controller, but the cheaper one is still good to get.

A: There is a mini version of the Glider called the HSI Professional Glider Mini Ceramic Flat Iron - Model # Hs029c - Black. It is 6 inches long and has 1/2 inch plates.

A: Yes, the Glider is compatible with worldwide dual voltage (110v-220v), but you will need a plug adapter to fit into European outlets.
