Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So I have straight hair but it's slightly wavy after washing. I like the sleek look when I'm going somewhere fancy so I decided to buy this straightener after a LOT of research. Since this didn't have many reviews but was comparable to the 2" straightener from this line (the pearl ceramic thingy), I decided to go for this one. Since I had never used a straightener with bigger plates, I also bought the Remington S-9400 Tstudio Collection Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener with Tourmaline 2 1/4" Wide Plates (It's got some great reviews).
When both the products arrived, I tried one on each half of my segmented hair. Here are the reviews:
The T-studio was heavy and had large plates so I personally found it a bit uncomfortable when I wanted to work on my bangs. It did a terrific job and made my hair straight,probably a bit too much for my liking (I like the natural look). It didn't feel too comfortable to use(I have small hands, and thin hair) and I didn't feel the need to run such a large plated straightener through my hair. I am guessing this one's for serious hair-straightener users, and it would work great on curly hair (please read the reviews for more).
The sleek and curl is easy to use, very sleek and goes through my hair easily. I make sure I spray my hair with a heat-protectant spray like TreSemme's. The straightener is light and I can finish my hair up in 5 minutes (I have hair well past my shoulders). It looks great and didn't frizz up for the rest of the evening (although I did spray it with an anti-frizz spray to be safe). The controls are easy and at the highest temperature it can get pretty HOT - so much that my hair smoked a bit (which is why I gave it 4 stars). I guess this is normal especially since I had my heat-protectant spray on. It heats up in around 20 seconds and the temperature locks in one easy touch of a button. The plates do get hot, and so does the outer body around the plates - so its best to hold the straightener carefully and right at the end (where it's supposed to be held).The controls are placed away on the side so you cannot press them by mistake. It takes a while to cool down, which I prefer to do before clamping it shut and keeping it away. My friends and I tried curling some strands after watching the free CD. We could do with some practice - but they seemed quite easy. I didn't want to do it too many times because I am quite paranoid about frying my hair.
To sum up - for the price, it is a great product and works quickly and easily to straighten my hair so very beautifully.It should be great for travelling and has a light, professional-looking design. I don't like to straighten my hair often as I feel I am damaging it (paranoia again!), but for those few times that I do, this straightener totally transforms my hair. I will recommend this product!

Ceramic: The Hair Styling EssentialIf you want to achieve salon-quality hair from your own home, meet the Pearl Sleek & Curl Straightener. Ceramic has become the big buzz word in hair styling--that's because ceramic improves heat distribution and helps the selected temperature remain even throughout the entire plate, so there are no hot spots.
Ceramic also creates an effortless glide with no snagging, leaving your hair silky smooth. Plus, it ensures long-life plate wear, protecting the plates against styling products and scratching.

If you want straight hair one day and bouncy waves the next, the Sleek & Curl is your ticket to achieving salon-quality results. Its versatility means you don't have to commit to just one look--you can mix it up to reflect your mood. In fact, the Sleek & Curl can create up to six different hairstyles--straight, deep wave, updo, defined curl, brushed-out curl, and retro--so there's a new look for almost every day of the week.
Fast to Heat Up and Slow to Lose HeatIdeal for those on-the-go mornings, the Sleek & Curl is ready to use 30 seconds after switch-on. Throughout styling it maintains a near-constant temperature and keeps heat loss to a minimum, thanks to its optimized electronics. It also helps you stay in control with precise temperature controls, an easy-to-read digital display, and temperature lock.
Selecting the heat level that's right for you is simple using the plus and minus buttons to adjust the temperature, then securing it with the temperature control lock. You can also hit the turbo boost for an instant shot of power and heat.
Long, Slim Plates for Silky StrokesEvery component of the Sleek & Curl's plates makes it effortless to use. Their generous length means you can style more of your hair in one stroke, while their slim frame fits neatly in your hand without feeling bulky.
