Query: Straightens the hair it doesn't pull out....

Although this straightener did straighten my hair, it would also rip it out, sometimes 20+ hairs at a time. My hair would get caught where the plates join the plastic and also in the hinge. Ouch! I kept thinking maybe I would get better at handling the thing, but no, it kept right on ripping!It also doesn't stand on the counter very well and tends to roll on its side. Unfortunately, those great rounded edges (which I loved) would then be touching the counter, which is bad news on laminate!
