I tried numerous settings assuming that there would be a sweet spot where I would find good straightening with little to no discomfort to the skin but unfortunately there was none. Of course the discomfort is nowhere near the scalding heat that you get from a traditional pressing comb but when you purchase a tool that promises warm and you get hot, it’s disappointing.
It’s also worth a mention that you shouldn’t expect relaxer straight results form using the Edgestick. You will notice that the ultra straight edges that are shown on the promotional video are pulled back hairstyles like ponytails so the hair is obviously at tension. There is no distinct advantage to using the Edgestick on your edges if you are wearing your hair straight down compared to using a traditional flat iron*.

I’m sad because I really wanted to love the Edgestick, it seemed to be such an innovative idea but I just don’t.
While the Edgestick may have it’s fans and possibly does fulfill a need in the market, I think that by being careful when flat ironing your roots and edges, you can get the same if not better results from using a normal or a mini flat iron like the Babyliss Nano.

Just leave your edges alone or you’ll end up with none.
Guess I’ll be sticking to a pressing comb

When I was transitioning this was great! I only used it on my edges though I didn’t go through my hole head with it or anything. Also I had little sections in my hair where it had broken off and was growing back, so it really helped me out. My Only complaint is that you can’t really clean it. If I had shed hair in it that fell between the rod and the guard on top, you couldn’t get it out, so you are literally smelling burning hair. Now that I am natural and can flat iron better, I don’t use it as often.
