Review (5/5): This Is A Great Design- But Caution, How To Get Out Of A Jam
I have baby fine hair. Thin hair makes it difficult to curl my hair because either they are too hot, to large, hair gets caught in clips, or other reasons. As a result, I don't curl my hair often. This might change that.
CHARGING
Charging this took 3 hours once I got it. It has a gauge on it which lets you know when the battery is full and status of it.
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel is covered in the instructions, but it is not quite what it is described. I found it very intuitive, however and no problem in using it. Just mess with the buttons and you will figure it out. The right button changes the section, the left button chooses the level.
SETTING
Every time I turn this off, I have to reset it to F instead of C and then I have to reset the different times too. It does not remember so far every time I have used it and I have tried multiple ways.
CURLING
This thing is AWESOME. The thing is you have to have SMALL pieces of hair and make sure no other hairs are caught with it. If you don't then it will curl your hair tight and jam it up. More on that later. I set my hair for baby fine at 300F and 8 seconds and once it heated up, the curls were perfect. I had to redo a few of them but for the most part they were nice.
JAM
When you are not careful to separate ALL hair from a section, sometimes the shorter hairs will catch in the roller in the opposite direction and it will cause a jam. It is scary. That is one reason why I set it only at 8 seconds. All you do is make sure you have a mirror and then hit the controls until you reverse the direction and run it for a moment and VOILA- hair is out.
Make sure to comb the hair and then redo it in smaller sections.
TIMER
One more thing, this will roll up your hair and then it will beep each second of the count down of your hair in the roller. It gives a long beep when done, you release the button and your hair comes out.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This is a great curling iron. I love that I can do this in the living room with a mirror and not have to stand in the bathroom. My hair looks natural and beautiful.
MY RATING
FOUR STARS I wish this would set itself to Farenheit and stay there. It is annoying to reset it every time. I know it is supposed to stay, but mine doesn't. Other than that, this would get five stars, but I am taking one off for that.
PHOTO
I posted a photo of my hair so you can see how curly it is. Keep in mind, I have very little hair and it is very very fine. This curling iron really make my hair look amazing.
