Review (5/5): and it's awesome. My hair is pretty easy to curl
I was given the chance to test this out in exchange for an honest and unbiased review, and I was so excited to receive it. It's a big, kind of bulky, five barrel hair crimper, and it's awesome.
My hair is pretty easy to curl, but it takes a while, and as a mom of two boys, I hardly have time to spend curling.
This thing saves me so much time if I want to add texture and body to my hair. I set it on a medium setting and held it in place for about 10-15 seconds. Once I released it I moved to the ends and did the same. It was quick, easy, and just works.
One thing I noticed, and this may just be with my hair because of how it is, but if I tried to re crimp a section that was already wavy, it would just get frizzy and wouldn't look as good as if I got it on the first try. Easy enough to work around, just worth mentioning.
Another note, not a problem enough to be worth removing a star, but definitely worth mentioning as well, the power indicator light doesn't go solid once it has reached the set temperature. It is like a strobe light show, but just flashes until you turn it off.
That made it kind of difficult to know when to start, but I just turned it on before I started my makeup and it's definitely ready by the time I go to use it. (About two minutes later)
The waves it gives look great, especially if you use product made for curls, and it adds SO MUCH body and makes it really easy for Bobby pins to stick.
