i have KCQ X-heat... my friend's hairdresser friend got it for me for $150 including tax. retail sells $229 + tax.
i've had it for....2-3 weeks, & i love it!! the curls stay for the entire night (even after heavy dancing all night in a club. & straightening is SOOOO SMOOOOTH).
now i so regret for buying those cheap cheap curling irons & flat irons. they're such a waste of $ dammit.
