I had to come on here and leave a review. When I first got this I didn't even take it out of its plastic I just thought well this isn't going to do anything for me I have a sort of a shoulder length bob with bangs. I normally scrunch it and diffuse it and I have s-waves but many times it's just stringing and drives me crazy. So I've tried a few other things that helped a great deal that I'm also impressed with and I'll leave a review for that as well. That was Carl Smith Bond and multitask conditioner. Well let's talk about this awesome little curling iron shall we? As I said I was going to send it back I didn't even give it a chance until just a few minutes ago I thought why not try it before you send it back. So after washing my hair and scrunching and diffusing the top of my hair wasn't curly enough so I thought why not bring this out and try it. I plugged it in it heated up like nobody's business very fast it has three settings I put it on the lowest one for my hair. It didn't tug or pull any of my hair out I am so impressed with this little wand or curling iron. I'm happy I didn't send it back it made incredible beautiful curls in my hair that I absolutely love it all looks so natural. Kind of beachy wavy spirally. Very easy to use the tip stays cool so you can use that if you need to twist it I absolutely love it thank you to this company I hope that it doesn't break down or anything that would be a bummer. It also has a little stand so you don't have to worry about burning anything the cord is quite long and I just love that it's small absolutely love the mini size because like I said my hair has lost a lot of its thickness. So if anybody's in doubt don't be give this curling iron a try because it is just awesome and I'm so happy that I did this girl's keeping it LOL.
