As a retired, licensed and professional cosmetologist.... I'm usually very negative toward most of the "at home" curlers and tools. My hair is long (past the small of my back), bleached, and obviously not the healthiest.. I decided to give this a go, as my hands and arms have started to not tolerate curling and styling like they used to. I did not test it on wet hair, because that's a no no. But, with professional product and fully dried hair, THIS THING CURLS! It gives wand level tight curls, on hard to curl hair, with minimal effort. There's a small learning curve for not getting everything tangled, but once you're past that, it's a breeze! It didn't take any longer than usual to curl my whole head which is THICK. It didn't speed up the process, but it certainly took the drag and aches out of it! There is no heat adjustment minus the low and high setting, but my hair feels food and looks shiny. Obviously continued use will cause heat damage, but for the occasional styling, this is perfect. I'll test the longevity of the curls and update if need be, but as of now the effort was minimal, and the curls truly are salon quality and beautiful! Read more

I first bought this product in 2016 and again in 2020 after the power started flickering on/off and stopped working (but I think it served it's time well over 4 years of near-daily use!). 4 years since repurchasing and it's still working great. Only [mild] grief is that over time the spinning prongs began to snap off, but still works decently! I just have to feed my hair into the primary/front prong closest to the barrel before spinning (vs. I could previously do this one-handed by holding the curler to my head/hair and the spin button would grab/feed the hair and hold it for me). Came back to this product to repurchase for the convenience of having those extra prongs (and $50 doesn't feel like an unreasonable splurge to repurchase after 4 years). The curler has 2 rotating options and 2 heat settings (high/low), but I've only used the low due to having thin/fine hair. It's never, ever damaged my hair and is super great at 'polishing' any frizz/dry-looking hair w/a quick run through. If I'm trying to reduce heat damage on my hair, I'll often just add bigger sections for less amount of time, just to smooth it out and add some body. I can literally use this tool mindlessly due to being able to feel/physically control the rotating/spin button and w/o reliance on a mirror to carefully feed pieces into the barrel/insert. For every day/causal use, I can just run the curler around my head, letting it grab pieces and letting go. Def brush hair before trying this method, but if it does tangle/get caught, just use the other rotation button to unwind it. I would NOT recommend my lazy one-handed technique w/more textured/thicker hair or it WILL tangle. My hair is VERY straight and will go flat nearly instantly after using a normal curling iron. Somehow, I can curl my hair with this thing once a week and it will literally last the whole week w/o really needing a touchup. Idk how it works, but I LOVE IT! Read more

This is the second device I have purchased. I purchased one for myself and loved it so much, I bought my sister one. The reason for the 4 stars is pretty simple. This device (the second device purchased) is different from the first in small ways. For me, I prefer the initial device I purchased over the one my sister received, however, it still works very very well. 1. The initial purchase came with a brunette on the front of the box. The BRUNETTE box is the one I prefer because it beeps. The unit is the same, however the unit beeps (1) when you turn it on, (2) when it reaches temperature [about 45-60 seconds at most], and finally (3) when you should remove the wand from your hair [about 5-8 seconds after you stop winding]. 2. The second purchase (THIS PURCHASE) came with a BLONDE on the box, and what appeared to be French translations (probably for French Canada). This device looks and feels the same, but it is missing the beeps. It makes no sound when it heats up, no sound when turned on, and no sound when it's time to release the curl. It does make a strange clicking noise and the light flashes (but it seems more like a short circuit than an intentional flash). This curler takes a little bit of time getting used to, but once you get the hang of it - it is AWESOME. My thick hair normally doesn't hold a curl or wave and I can sleep on these and they'll stay in. My sister's hair is thinner than mine, and hers looks great. I had to FaceTime her to show her the proper way to use it. Once she got the hang of it, she had beautiful, full-bodies curls and waves. Overall, I wish there was some way to know which device was being delivered. I prefer the one that beeps over the one that doesn't - but they both yield the same results. I will update with photos/videos of what I mean when I get home later tonight or tomorrow. Read more
