 Double Ceramic Curling Wand 1"

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like curling my hair, but I am not very coordinated and my hair likes to lose a curl faster than I lose a guy. Seriously, I load my hair with product and the curl is gone within the hour. I find with this iron my curls do stay put longer than with my more expensive tools. It heats up pretty quickly, and stays hot- seriously, I've burned myself once or twice! Feels good in my hand and not too flimsy.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is an awesome curling iron! The ceramic plates are a game changer for treated hair- it does not dry out hair but rather makes it feel soft and silky. I've used other irons and they have left my hair smelling fried since I have bleached hair but this does not. It also doesn't pull my hair out after curling. It's very lightweight and easy to use. The settings are great- especially if you have kids that need low heat! It is easy to clean and store. Pictured is my hair before, during, and after! It even curled my 6 year old's pin straight hair and it stayed!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This curled my hair perfectly! I have medium/thin hair and when I put this on the highest setting the curls only took 15-20 seconds to heat up and form. They lasted all night after dancing and jumping around!

So I was deciding between a $180 wand and this wand and I decided to try this one first. My hair has turned out really well and Im impressed. The heat setting goes from 1-30 and it's recommended not to use it on higher than a ten for almost all hair types. I have a lot of hair, and I tend to curl my hair in thick sections to get beachy waves, but my strands themselves are somewhat fine. I found that a 4 on the temperature slider was PLENTY warm and would not recommend setting it any higher. The other thing I noticed is that it heats very evenly, so you will not need to hold the hair for very long, and will want to release it quickly. If you havent used a wand before I recommend practicing your whole head with the heat off just to get used to the motions so you can easily unwrap it without getting your hair tangled up in the counter rest at the bottom of the barrel. Use heat protectant, and your hair cannot be damp at all. But anyways, this is my favorite wand I have used. It heats up so fast, and cools down fast once you turn it off. I love being anle to do curls or waves. My last wand I had for ten years (it was this same brand) and it had a tapered barrel. I find that the thicker striaght barrel on this wand makes my hair seem fuller and more voluminous. I curl a bunch, remove the wand, hold the curl until it cools in my hand, then let it relax while I do the rest of my hair. At the end, I use a wide tooth comb on my curls and then do a fine mist of hairspray.

Started popping and smoking. It burnt about 1in of my hair off !
