VS Sassoon Curl Secret

I have always straightened my hair and it does get boring doing the same thing. Unfortunately I'm not great at experimenting with my hair as I am with makeup. When this came out, I couldn't wait to buy it and start curling my hair and it looked so easy. I have hair midway down my back, it definitely gives a gorgeous curl and it is a quick way for someone like me who doesn't know how to do much. It has 3 different settings for the tightness or looseness of the curl. It still takes about 20mins to do my whole head, but I have a lot of hair so is very quick compared to trying to curl my hair without curl secret. Great product!

I got one of these for christmas the best thing since sliced bread!!! I love it... gone are my curling tongs!!!

I'm useless when it comes to my hair and when I do attempt to curl it they usually last an hour... If I'm lucky! This curler is amazing, it does all the work (makes someone bad at hair, like myself look like they have been hair dressing all there life) and they stay all day and night. The only problem I have with it is the fact you can't curl much hair at once which means you spend about an hour/ hour and a half to curl thick hair.

I have a bunch of curling irons and by the time I finish curling the top part of my hair the bottom of my hair is without curls. But with this it was totaly diferent, it holds my curls so well and it last a long time.

I had been wanting this curler for ages and finally bought one while on holiday in Australia (even came with a bonus steam conditioning waver).

It makes perfect curls and they definatly last a million times longer than if you were to use your everyday curler or straightener. You can achieve different curls using the different heat and timer settings but I tend to leave it on the hottest and longest settings because I have thick long hair and haven't really played around with it all that much.

I have noticed with my hair I have to use thin enough strands to fit into the curler, it kind of has a pathway where you place your hair before you close it to curl and if I put too much in it tangles inside the curler and gets stuck... Not good trying to untangle my hair whilst it is burning away I end up ripping it out ( this was before I noticed the pathway so it hasn't happened as much now but I do still freak out a bit when I use it)

I have been told is not for every day use but that could be personal preference :-)

To achieve different styles you can also softy brush or run fingers through hair after to get loose soft curls

I bought this after watching some online reviews & reading some of the ones below, and honestly don't really think its all that great. I have very fine medium length hair just below my shoulders and yes, it curls the hair, but the design of the tool isn't for me. Only being able to hold it one way is annoying, basically means that I have to wrap my arm right around the other side of my head to do the back, & lose sight of the mirror & where you hair is going-which could be pretty bad, and almost was that bad for me at one stage.

If you want to do thick curls, then this tool is not for you, as you can't use thick pieces of hair in the barrel.

No matter what products or treatments I did before using the curl secret my hair always felt coarse afterwards, even using the lowest heat setting.

This tool would be a lot easier to use with long hair that can be swept over the shoulder & curled in the front, so I'll give it another go in a year or so when my hair is longer, but right now its going into my storage bin under my bed.

After much thinking & saving of Flybuys points, I got one! I read all the reviews, checked out other options & decided that this one was best suited to my thick, long hair. I already have an Instyler & while that is ok. This Curl Secret is wayyyyyy better! So very easy. Firstly read the instructions, check out the tips - there are a few & have a go. I sectioned off my hair, used spray to protect & then worked from the back to the front only taking (what I regard as) small sections at a time. This first time it took a while to get used to how much it can take, but this machine is very good at letting you know how much is too much. It sucks the curl in & beeps to let you know that it's done, at which point you open the device & let your hair fall out. I have used it on my hair twice and twice on daughter's hair - great results each time. Applying hair spray does make the curls last longer. Obviously the more one plays with the hair, the easier they fall out. - but it's hard not to play and admire your own curls when you've never had them before!!

Having never owned any other curling irons I don't have much to compare this too but I know for sure this is much safer and won't burn you unless you actually stick your finger into the chamber! This creates really natural curls and there are 3 settings so you can choose what sized curls you want and it does it for you automatically which is AMAZING!! I've had my hair stuck in it ONCE and that was only when I was in a rush to get it done and forgot to brush through that strand of hair.

I bought this last month , first time I used it I got confused how to use it because I opened it so fast with out checking which is wrong be careful if you do it wrong your hair can be stuck hard to get out , I loved how curly it made my hair look I love it

I was so pumped to buy this curler for so long, until I used it...! For me this was a major fail, it just didn't work in the way I had hoped! Sure the demos on tv looked amazing, but when I used this want to curl my hair the curls were tight, twisted, and UGLY. Sold it for half the price I had paid the next week. Personally, I just hated everything about it. If you are looking for a life changing curling wand, try any NuMe wand, they are the bomb!
