difficult to get it right compared to other irons
I'll start with the best things about this curling iron. The heating element is encased in plastic so its easy to use without burning yourself. I am not sure why most of the deep wavers these days got away from that and now its all this exposed hot mettle that one wrong move or a slip of the wrist and you are burning your neck or face or hand with it. But not with this one. Its nice that way. That's probably one of the biggest reasons I went with this one.  Its very attractive and sleek looking with a nice swivel cord. It shuts itself off after an hour which is nice as I have left it on by mistake before. Gives you peace of mind if you can't remember if you left it on after you've left your house which is awesome.<br /><br />Now it works alright and you can make nice waves with it if you are careful to align the waver properly because its like they went a little cheap on the waving plates. You really have to think about it and position it right each time because you have one and half wave on each plate as apposed to two full barrels on one side and one full barrel on the other that fits between the two on the one side, which makes it easier when trying to align as you work your way down your hair each time.  But with this one if you don't do it right you end up sort of straitening an area that you were trying to produce a wave. And then its hard to fix it. I suppose you would get used to it over time and it might not be a big deal but I didn't like it. I kept trying to not let it bother me but it bothered me. Also I didn't think it went as deep as I might want sometimes. With the one I posted on here in the photo which is a Bedhead waver, you have that option to go deeper by leaving it on longer and also it has hotter settings that this one doesn't have. This Wessopan iron that I am reviewing only goes to 200 degrees. It takes longer to do my hair for sure. My new one which is a Bedhead goes from 250 up to 400 degrees. Much easier to use and faster. Its only half enclosed in plastic for some reason but it has a plastic nob on the end to hold if you need it also. Its pretty good, I only burned myself a little on the side of my face once. Ugh. How much extra can adding the other side of plastic casing really cost anyway? Seriously. But I digress.<br /><br />I'm hoping I can send this one back. If not its okay because it wasn't as pricey as my new Bedhead one and it would do in a pinch if for some reason my new one stopped working. So it can be a backup.
