My hair is usually very very much straight. I am not used to using a curling wand or iron on my hair, so keep that in mind when reading this review.<br /><br />Temperature settings: I love this part. It actually tells you what temperature you are choosing, instead of just high/low. It's very easy to select or change the temperature.<br /><br />Heat up time: Pretty quick! Not the fastest I have seen but also not slow.<br /><br />Easy to use: it took me a few tries to really get it down. It does what it says, which makes soft curls/waves and doesnt tangle. I cant imagine using this on shorter hair. I think it would be really hard to use on shorter hair. I start with the brush toward the roots, then while holding the tip of my hair, I brush down toward the tips of my hair and then start to roll my hair up in it at a vertical angle. You can also press the lever to release the brush part, and use it as a wand(you have to hold the lever down the whole time but it's not awkward). That part isnt so easy for me to do.<br /><br />How the curls look: So, you wont get super tight ringlets with this tool, as the barrel is bigger and just  the over all function of the tool wont really allow it. I think the brush part does a great job of eliminating any frizz on the curl. It gives a more natural look, which is what I am going for. On my long, thick, straight hair(virgin hair), that I rarely use heat on, the curls dont last long at all unless you use a hair spray. On my hair, the curls probably last a couple hours before going completely flat(without the hair spray). I cant speak to using it to brush through and straighten the hair because my hair is already pretty straight.<br /><br />Quality: it's not the best quality, but it's still quite nice. I'd say its in between drug store and professional quality but leaning more towards drug store. The barrel isnt anything fancy but it's not cheap quality.<br /><br />Overall, I am happy with the purchase! Knowing what I know now about it, I would buy it again.
