Review (5/5): Perfection if you know how!
I've got long naturally curly hair and had been looking for an iron to tame my curls and give me that beach tossed look that I love so much! Ive heard and seen a lot of negativity about this iron but the thing I am noticing is the people having issues seem to not know how to properly use the iron or have the wrong hair type for this iron.
Tips:
- Not for short hair. If your hair isn't at least shoulder length or longer don't bother you will only end up frustrated.
- Not for fine straight hair. You CAN use it but unless you plan to use a can of hairspray which defeats the purpose of the design you will have limp straight hair by the time you walk out the door.
- NOT A TRADITIONAL IRON This one requires some skill and attention to technique. You have to hold it vertically pointing down and wrap your hair around the balls and between. The glove is included for a reason, wrap your ends with your hand.
- Do NOT simply let go of your curl or pull the iron out. UNWRAP your curl and let it fall gently.
- SECTION your hair and work from the bottom up.
Follow these tips and watch a video or two and you will have that perfect beach look in no time!! I absolutely LOVE this iron.
