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 have quite fine (but a lot of it) sraight/wavyish hair, I have tried to get the perfect curl since owning my first pair of GHD’s . I have watched hundreds of you tube tutorials & scoured pinterest to try & get the ghd to curl like I see it seems to for everyone else (but alot like winged eyeliner I can not for the life of me get it right!). I saw this and read so many reviews and watched so many tutorials before buying and just decided to take the plunge and buy one. I was so excited to take this home and use it, I got it home and ripped open the box and read through the instructions. Came complete with a cooling mat/pouch to store in once it had been cooled down. It was a little bigger than I thought but too difficult to hold. I made sure my hair was clean and dry and tangle free. Now it comes with 3 different curl settings (8 loose,10 medium,12 tight) & 2 different heat settings. I’m not one for shirley temple type curls I really just wanted to curl the ends of my hair and kind of get a loose just rolled out of bed kind of curl. Once turned on & selected your settings the light will flash to say its heating up, once its stopped flashing its ready to go. I clipped my hair out of the way and started with the underneath portion, I took really small portions of hair combed through to ensure no sneaky knots were left behind & popped the hair into the device , I popped it in at about half way down my head so as to not curl the top parts of my hair but you can start wherever you like its up to the look you want. It sucks the hair up and beeps to say its all ok, it then gives off a series of beeps and then 3 quick beeps to tell you its done , simply open the barrel and let the hair drop out & you have yourself a curl. This was the perfect easiet way to curl my hair I was genuinely surprised how easy it was to use. I did read horror stories of people saying they got their hair caught in the machine but from my experience with using it if you try to put in too much hair or for some reason your hair is a bit knotted or something it actually beeps at you and wont suck the hair in so you can redistribute your hair again properly. I only had it suck it in once and then tell me it was incorrect and I just opened the barrel and gently unwrapped my hair out so it wasn’t that scary. It only took me about 10 minutes to do my whole head, you wouldn’t have to do your whole head you can do the top bits or just some random bits. Once I had curled what I wanted I ran my fingers through it and dropped it down a little bit. Im not a big fan of hairspray (unless going to a wedding or somewhere I really want maximum hold) so I went to work with no product in my hair & by the end of the day my curls had dropped a tiny bit but really just made them look better than when I left for work!. This has been the best find and I’m so pleased I bought it, its no gimmick it really has made the elusive curl super easy for me !.

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 love changing up my hair from curly to straight but I cant seem to get the curl from the straightening iron right and curling tongs just end up with me having blisters (grabbling the curling iron at the wrong place) and sore arms (I have a lot of hair - fine but a lot)

When I saw the Curl Secret advertised it just seemed too good to be true. I took to YouTube and was impressed by the "at home demonstrations". So when it was on sale I bit the bullet and bought one, took it home and unpacked the beauty.

The look of the Curl Secret is stylish and I love seeing it sitting on my bathroom shelf. It comes with a cleaning tool to remove product buildup in the device but since I don't use product on my hair I haven't used this (I know! I should be protecting my hair from heat). The unit is a bit top heavy and I was a bit worried about using it for a period of time - tired arms.....

The first time I used it I expected to battle and not get it right the first time but as long as you comb your section of hair first and don't try to put too much hair in in one go the only other thing you have to worry about is following the instruction on the unit to hold the right end to your head.

The results: gorgeous, magical curls!!!! The different heat and time settings mean I can control the tightness of the curls from spring curls to beach waves. You can do every bit of your hair or alternating top sections to get a tousled look.

Main annoyance: you can only do small sections at a time, if you do too much it just refuses to wind the hair or it feels that it is going to jam and it stops.

Great Feature: When I first saw it wind in the hair I was convinced that my hair would be sucked in, knot, get stuck and burn off. The Curl Secret will not wind if your hair isn't going in smoothly and freely. It will not get stuck!

I love this and have used it on my hair passed shoulder length and a long bob and both work well although with longer hair you have to curl from further down the strand so that you are not putting too much hair in the unit.

I’ve always struggled with curling my hair, whether it be curling tongs, hair straighteners or non-heating hair curlers. I just couldn’t get the curls right and my arms would get sore trying to figure it out, that I eventually give up. I was so ecstatic to find out that there’s a hair tool which makes curling simple and easy. I treated myself to getting the VS Curl Secret for my birthday. I got it for a bargain, buying it brand new for $90. It comes safely packaged in a cardboard box and includes a cleaning prong to remove any hairs inside the curler. The curler is a deep purple colour and unlike any other curlers out there.

The curler is clearly labeled where to and where not to place the hair strands for curling, for a newb like me I found it extremely helpful. Firstly, I used heat resistant spray on my hair and I brushed my whole hair. I also, brushed every section of hair before popping it into the curler. I placed small sections of hair, about 2cm in width into the curling socket and gently pressed down on the top part. It’s amazing how the curler reels in the hair itself to curl, I let it sit for 3 seconds before unclamping and loosening the hair out. It’s important to make sure to use small sections and brush the hair, otherwise it will get stuck in there and it will start beeping if this happens. If this happens turn off the curler, so it doesn’t continue to heat your hair. It was easy to untangle it though. The curler was so easy to use, and I managed to get through all my hair in about 10 – 15 minutes even though I have long hair. The curls were soft, and I loved how it turned out.

I recommend it to anyone who has trouble curling their hair as the VS Sassoon Curl Secret makes the whole process a breeze. The price can be expensive in certain shops, but if proper research is done, there are many places out there that sell it for cheaper, such as Trade Me, Onceit and 1-Day. So, keep a look out.

I finally purchased one after wanting it for years and I have zero regrets! I have fine hair, and there isn't a lot of it either so I was sceptical that it would actually work without chewing up my hair.

It works!

I had beautiful, well formed curls that lasted really well! I was so excited to finally have curls in my hair!

It's super easy to use, I watched a few youtube clips so I could figure out what I was doing. The instructions are easy to follow but I prefer being able to see what they are talking about.

I am in love with my curl secret and the consistency it gives with the size of curls etc. I haven't been able to master the GHD curl but this makes fast work of curling my hair. Given I have quite fine hair I use it on the lower time and heat setting, which seems to work well, though I do find I have to straighten my hair with my GHD first to prevent my hair from getting caught or spat out of the machine.

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!!
