Review (5/5): Not the S.75 but the B1
I ordered the S.75 but received the B1. It was way too much of a hassle to box it all back up, take it down to UPS and return it
Unfortunately, the one I initially ordered was no longer in stock so I could not get a replacement. I went ahead and kept the larger one to try on my hair.
I have short, not quite shoulder length, thinning hair. After I blow dried my hair today, and I put in a leave in conditioner, I used no other products so as to keep my hair as smooth and soft as possible. Normally I would diffuse my hair and bring out what little natural curl I have, but today I went ahead and blew it straight with a roller brush. I then proceeded to use the curling iron that was sent by mistake. As you can see in the pictures, my hair took curls really well.
The iron itself is very well made. It has three heat settings. I put mine on the highest heat setting. It only took two to three strands to get used to the iron doing all the work and which buttons to push when.
The iron motor is not noisy at all, the sound is tolerable and the buttons work exactly as they should. It held my hair just fine with no slipping. However, I can see where other reviewers state their hair slipped out. This does happen if you pull too hard while it's wrapping. And of course if you continue rotating the iron once it's close to your scalp, it's going to pull out from the clip.
It just takes time to get used to the tension to keep it from pulling from the clip. But this can be done. It held my hair just fine.
Even though my purchase was supposed to be the S.75 due to the smaller barrel, the B1, which is a bigger barrel, worked just fine on my hair. I highly recommend this brand as I can imagine any of the sizes would do just fine on short hair.
