This hair iron can be used for both VS's signature curls and straight styles. It's an older model, but I received it as a gift and used it about 10 times. I just looked it up, and it seems it was sold for around 8,000 yen at the time. I've never used wax or any other products with this iron. I'll also include the aluminum pouch. The pouch shows some peeling and marks from storage due to aging, but the iron itself is in good condition, so I've marked it as having no noticeable scratches or stains. I used the steam function, so there's some wear and tear on the iron, but it's still perfectly usable.
