This curling iron is wonderful ! First let me tell you what sets it apart from the others. This iron has a longer rod which makes using on long hair a breeze. This iron also has a tempature control displaying the degrees of the iron which you can control with the buttons on either side. Very nice feature!! This iron also has a small clip to hold hair in unlike the otherside. This feature is a must have and makes getting a perfect spiral curling so much easier ! This iron definitely competes with the more expensive professional models! The curls last for days ! Mine even lasted through sprinkles of rain which I was sure would straighten the curves, but they held up beautifully! Many people complemented my hair! You won't be disappointed with this purchase! What i do is wash and blow dry my hair, take sections and curl them I don't touch the curls until I've finished my whole head. Then i break the curls apart gently with my fingers and im set! This is by far one of the better irons!Really does a nice job in making beautiful curls in my long hair, that most importantly, last! Once you get used to the small clip that helps hold your hair, very easy to use. I know some people use the heat resistant glove and just wind their hair around the rod, but I'm not that talented, LOL. Get lots of compliments when I curl my hair with this iron. Highly recommend, awesome price, heats up super fast. Seems to be excellent quality. And, the cord is nice and long!Purchased it for my 21 year old daughter as a Christmas gift. She said it is by far one of the best curling irons she has ever owned. And she is a perfectionist. She specifically requested that I review this item as 5 star as she is thrilled with it! Would highly recommend!Recived yesterday great packaging , slick used it this morning love the results , only thing that i could complain is the release gets hot to touch at 180 degreesI had trouble with curling irons before because I have such long thick hair. This is not only easy to use but the curls stay for a couple of days. I wake up and hardly have to touch anything up. I would never wear my hair down because it was so difficult..... Now I wear it down almost everyday. This was a great purchase for me.Best wand ever! Curling irons just didn't look right with my hair. I have shoulder length hair which is both fine and thin and colored. I'm glad I took a chance on this one. I get compliments at work and even one from a waitress the other day! That was fun!In my opinion this works better than a regular/professional style curling iron. The curls actually stay when I use this curling wand. My hair has even held the curl over night after I slept on themThis is the best bubble wand I've ever used. It has a little clip which is perfect for holding the hair in place as you can. It heats up quickly. And it leaves big bouncy curls.Chauffe très bien! Fait de belle bouclette wave!I think it will be good once my hair gets longer. I kept burning my fingers with shoulder length hair.Enfin un fer à friser qui fait ce qu'il est supposer de faire... Faire de belles curlers.To hot and only takes a small amount of hairLove it!!
