Great results with long, fine hair!
I have very fine, almost straight hair and normally use no heat methods when I want waves, but they never last more than a day. I had never used a curling iron before and finally got this one on recommendation from a friend who swore that Bed Head wands are the only ones that make her curls last until the next wash. As a beginner I am pretty happy with this curling iron. It is very easy to use and I like the tousled, irregular curl pattern it creates in my long hair - very pretty. I find that setting the temperature somewhere between Low and Medium works very well for my fine and completely untreated hair, but the curls become loose waves on the next day and are gone completely by day three. I haven't tried hotter temperatures yet, so I can't say for sure whether a higher setting will make the curls last longer.<br /><br />The reason I am giving this curling iron 4 out of 5 stars is that the overall decent quality could be a bit better. The hair tends to snag a bit between the the curling iron and the rubber bit at the end if one is not careful. I also do not care for the glove - while potentially useful it somehow ends up in the way and makes the sectioning of strands more cumbersome than it should be.
