Use without the cord attached
This size is perfect for my bangs.  Also, I have shoulder length hair and the iron works with some of the hair.  Shorter hair would work better for keeping the curl.  After I charged it up, I removed the charging cord and used the iron.  I turned it off and went to work.  My daughter came home and asked me to curl her hair.  I was pleased to see the iron held the charge and I didn't have to plug it in again.  Compact size is nice.
