Review (1/5): Ouch!
I decided to buy this to try to make my already curly hair more uniform in appearance. My hair is very long and it spirals to begin with. Silly me thought I could make it all the spirals look exactly the same.
I started out with perfectly washed and combed hair. Took me a few minutes to figure out that you can add extensions to the evil wand. I was trying to shove just the end portion through a cork screw curler, didn't work that great.
My one daughter, also with curly hair, was intrigued and asked what I was doing. I told her I was trying to be pretty!
First chunk of hair, ok, wow, that was painful! I tried not to let her see the tears in my eyes. 2nd chunk, ouch! 3rd chunk I was about ready to full blown cry! I told myself to be brave, there was no turning back. Chuck after chunk I literally felt my scalp screaming in agony! My daughter begged me to stop but I continued to recite, mommy will be so pretty!
I finished and noticed my face was bright red from holding my breath. I tried to relax and do homeschool with my kids but they kept cracking up laughing at me. The entire time I can feel throbbing in my scalp like a high-school band practice.
I couldn't take it anymore, they needed to come out. Wait, you pull them?? I slowly tried one by one and had to start holding onto my roots for fear I'd look like a middle aged bald man when my husband comes home from work. They were holding onto those curves for dear life! Yep, so kudos to you if you have hair of steal that can survive these curlers. I feel so jaded for thinking this was a clever concept.
