I got the couture in black. I just wanted a good straightener that has temperature controls with smaller plates and is strictly for dry hair. I didn't want to spend that much but I still wanted a good straightener that I can use on my hair. I originally wanted the petite straightener, but they didn't have it in stock and I wasn't willing to wait for it to go back in stock (I'm impatient). Also, the company is slow with email replies. They reply much faster on their facebook page.

I like this straightener a lot. I like how big the range for the temperature is, so I can straighten my extensions at lower temperatures to reduce the damage I do to them. It's not as small as I hoped but it is small enough. It works very well in straightening my hair when it's dry, which is quite a feat as it is. However, the temperature is adjusted by a dial instead of a digital adjuster so you kind of just have to guess or estimate what temperature you are on the dial. I don't know yet but I've been thinking of buying the petite. Having a straightener with less than 1 inch plates would be nice.

I happened upon the NuMe site when I saw a pretty good deal for a voucher. I was looking for a new straightener, preferably wet to dry, because my cheap straightener just did not do the job. My hair is wavy/curly and very resistant to heat. I needed something much stronger. I checked out the website and the positive comments really appealed to me. The site happened to be having a Christmas special in which they offered this straighter plus a bottle of their argan oil for $50. It was such a good deal! I didn't actually want the argan oil but I gave it to my mother as a gift. It was actually a pretty expensive bottle on its own so I thought it would be a good gift. She loved it.

Anyway, about the straightener, I got the Wet-To-Dry in black. At 1.75 inches, it is a pretty large straightener. It's harder to use with short hair. You cannot adjust the temperature. It is at a constant 410 F. If your hair is dry or gets damaged easily, I do not recommend this at all. But for me, it was perfect. It dries my hair to a kind of straight that I have never had before. You would almost think I had naturally straight hair! And the straight hair will last until the next shower. It was wonderful. Still currently my favorite straightener.
