So far, I've used it twice and it seems to do ok so far. The iron made my hair a little sleeker, softer and shiner when compared to air drying or blow drying. The trade-off is that I lose some volume, which is to be expected with straight hair.

As someone with naturally curly hair, it's a nice change of pace to have straighter hair. Of course, I would embrace my curly hair if I could just figure out a way to get it to not frizz so much without having to put tons of product in it! LOL

Thanks everyone for the help!

My hairdresser said the best way to still have volume when fat ironing hair was not to do the roots. So I start about an inch to two inches from the roots to the ends. After drying my hair) I don't know if that will work, though, since your hair is naturally curly.
