Good grip, heats fast
Ok: I'm going to review this curling iron, and I have a few comments and tips. First of all, I am impressed with the fact that the curling iron is longer than most because you can get longer hair and wrap it around the wand without that being a problem. I don't have particularly long hair, so it's not an issue for me, but it might matter to some people.  Also, take a few minutes to get to know how this thing works because it's confusing at first. The directions don't explain everything. When you plug in the curling iron, you have to press the power button to unlock it, and then you press it again to actually get the heat to set. There is a display and it automatically wants to set on a certain heating (180°c). It climbs very quickly and then stops when it gets there. What I was confused about is there's a little display that says "damaged". I didn't know if this meant the wand was damaged? Would this setting potentially damage my hair? I didn't know, and the directions don't say anything about it. I pressed the power button again to unlock it, and then pressed downwards to reduce the heat until all of a sudden it says "fragile" in the display window. So I see now I should use it on that setting since I do have fragile hair. I now understand the damaged setting should be safe for damaged hair, and after pressing the button to heighten the temp, there is a setting for "healthy" hair. I will say it heats quickly, and it grips your hair very well. I've had curling irons before where the grip wasn't so good and your hair wants to slip out. This curling iron does not do that and holds your hair in place. Even thin hair. The end tip stays cool so you can grasp it and help control your curling iron from end to end. There is also an automatic 60 minute setting in case you forget to turn off the iron. It will shut itself off. I would recommend this product, but gave 4 stars due to the poor instruction manual.
