Review (3/5): Inaccurate heat, lackluster performance
I was so excited to unbox this curling wand. It comes with a heat-resistant glove, I heat resistant sleeve for the wand, and directions. There are two silicone strips that go down each side of the wand to add grab for your hair. I have extremely fine hair, so this was welcome for me!
My Paul Mitchell curling iron is set at 375 degrees and is smoking hot. I set a curling wand at 410 degrees. There is no way that it reached 410 degrees! I nicked it with my hand a couple of times, and while it was hot, it was nowhere near as hot as my curling iron gets at a lower temperature. I will even see steam rising from my hair when I use my curling iron.
The long cord is nice to have, and the digital readout is clear and easy to read. It was blue when I initially turned it on, but it turned to Green when it thought it had reached the temperature it was set for.
Needless to say, this curling wand left a lackluster performance in curling my medium length fine hair. I could have continued to bump the heat up, but I don't want something with an inaccurate thermostat. Unfortunately, I returned this. If it had gotten as hot as it said would, I would have kept. I'm afraid you get what you pay for.
