I bought this hoping it would make twisting faster. It did not.
I think this is best for people who do not know how to twist. If you already know how to make a rope twist, then this item sucks. If there are short pieces of hair, it will leave the hair looking very frizzy. I can do a better job by hand even if it's not quicker. Also, there are cheaper options that will rotate both ways. For example: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07373DYRD/ref=dp_prsubs_3. However, my biggest issue was the fact that the end of my daughter's twists didn't look good to me. I had to complete the twists myself and her ends were different lengths after the twisting so this was a bit of a waste. I am attaching pictures of two different sized twists that I made. You can see the beginning and the ends. If you do purchase this product and you have different lengths: start higher up, complete the first part of the twist, have your daughter hold the twist taut while you take the tool and move it down a few inches, repeat until the twist is complete. Again, this was not faster than what I can do manually. My daughter's hair is 15-20 inches long cut in layers.
