Review (3/5): Legit review.
I've used this several times and ended up returning it. Here's what I noticed.
1. The instructions are terrible. They are written in very poor English, and you might as well throw them in the garbage.
2. The curling wand is pretty easy to figure out. You set the temp, time, curl direction and steam (if you want steam). You put a very small stand of hair in and close the handle. It will pull up the rest of your hair and beep when it's done. I thought the beeps were far too loud and a bit excessive, but oh well.
3. This does not work well if you have really long hair. My hair is all the way down my back, almost to my butt. I could only put my hair in halfway, not from the root. So only half the length of my hair could get curled. This isn't an issue if you have short to medium length hair.
4. If you have long hair it will get stuck in the curling part, at least until you get the hang of it. The curling wand is good at releasing the curl so you can get your hair out...most of the time. I had to forcefully pull a few stands out a couple of times.
I ultimately decided to return it because my hair did not keep the curl any longer then if I had used a regular curling iron. Plus with a curling iron, I can get the full length of hair to curl.
I did notice the shady reviews before I purchased. I decided to give it a try since it had the feature I was looking for, alternating curling directions.
So, this wand may work fine for some people, but not for my stubborn, curl refusing hair.
