I bought this because I have a lot of hair and wanted to save time when towel-drying and using a hair dryer, and also because it's supposed to make hair silky smooth. However, I preferred the feel of the comb I was using before, so I only used this once after I bought it. No box, instruction manual included. I will disinfect it with alcohol and pack it with bubble wrap before shipping. It's in beautiful condition with no scratches, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item.
