Love this item. I raved about it so much, 3 of my friends went and bought one to LOL! All in all, it’s pretty generic. Trustworthy, honest, heats up well and fast, and has a wee stand clip so you don’t burn through precious surfaces.
And for anyone who cares-it smells nice when hot. Not like crappy plastic, but that sizzly snazzy smell that reminds you of salons and beauty pageants.
It was the reviews from Beauty review that made me go towards this specific curler, another bonus was it was on special for $40 at my local Farmers.
This ceramic curler gives medium sized curls, there is a heat setting which is what I need for my thin fragile hair. Number 8 on the dial is the best setting for my hair.
When I curl my hair I spray it with heat protectant spray, allowing a few minutes for the spray to work its magic, then open the clip attaching about 2 inches above the ends of my hair to prevent burning the ends, and twist the wand, wrapping my hair around the wand. I normally use my finger tips to feel how hot the hair is around the wand, when its warm I slowly unravel my hair and continue this step until all of my hair is done. I like how there is a plastic part at the top of the curler which you can use to help twist your hair around the wand, it is a life saver as curlers I've used in the past dont come with this and I've burnt my hands so many times touching the top of the curler.
The only downside about this curler is the wand isnt very long, my hair is quite long now and to curl all of my hair I need to do the lower half and then the top half of my hair which is time consuming. But in saying that, If Im needing a quick hairstyle that looks like Ive "spent time" doing my hair I part my hair into 8 parts and curl the lower half of my hair which takes a few minutes and looks fabulous.
I would highly recommend this curler, for the price its very good and user friendly if you're new to curling your hair.
