LANGE HAIR Le Duo Flex 360 Airflow Titanium Styler Curling Iron with Adjustable Settings Creates Waves Air Flow

I don't usually leave reviews, but I went out on a limb and bought this new version of Le Duo a couple of weeks ago when there weren't any non-incentivized reviews yet. So far, I've been really impressed and thought I should do my part to leave a review. I have straight, medium-fine, unprocessed, shoulder-length black hair and I've never been able to get curls/waves to stay in my hair until I used this product. Even using the "wave" feature and at the lowest heat setting (280F, prepped with CHI 44 which I'm sure also helped the curls last), my curls lasted all afternoon/evening at a wedding and still looked good the next morning. I tested both the curl and the wave settings, and I couldn't believe the curl setting was actually "too curly" for my taste (probably would look better once my hair is longer). I did two practice sessions on my hair before the wedding to figure out what setting and technique to use for the look I wanted; there was a little bit of a learning curve since I've never tried using a straightener to curl my hair, but it was pretty intuitive overall. One of the tutorial videos I watched on Amazon didn't seem to demonstrate the right technique. The color and design also look very nice, and the materials feel and look high quality. I like how there's only a couple of small lines at the edges of the plates I have to avoid for potential burns. The fan was a little louder than I expected and surprised my husband when I turned it on, but definitely quieter than most hair dryers and not an issue for me. You can also easily turn it off by pressing a button. I don't recall any weird/strong smells when I started using it, and definitely nothing now after a few uses. That being said, I've only tried the 320F and 280F heat settings, and not the higher heat settings. The price seemed reasonable to me if it continues to perform well over time. At the low heat settings, I can see minimal heat damage from occasional use, which is what I was looking for. Now I'm excited to grow out my hair and see if I can get curls to stay in when my hair is longer/heavier. Tips: - only use on fully dry hair - be sure to use heat protectant - smaller sections worked much better, even for just curling the ends under - if you want a really tight curl, follow the directions to rotate the barrel 1 full revolution (I might have even rotated it twice) Read more

I love it so much. It doesn’t pull the hair. It seems to smooth it. It gets hot really quickly. It’s a really great product. Read more

There's a bit of a learning curve to use it for curling but it gets much easier with practice. There's really not much difference in the two tension settings. But I still was able to get lasting, soft curls. I deducted one star because of the placement of the temperature settings. I found myself inadvertently changing the temp settings with my hand a few times during use. I wish someone could come up with a better design for temp setting placement. The cooling fan helps set the curl but you still want to allow your hair to fully cool before you brush or comb it out. I do like this model with the curved plates more than the flat plate model.

It once took me an hour to curl my long hair, now it just takes minutes! This airflow styling iron has saved me so much time in the bathroom. The curls stay in for hours. I can’t believe the quality of this product because it weighs so little. It works so well I’m getting compliments and people think I came from the salon! Read more

I really like this curling iron. Even at the lowest setting, it curls my fine just below the shoulder length hair nicely and it stays in well with spray. The larger barrel makes a nice but not tight curl so it has a casual look on m straight hair. Although expensive, it is so worth the price. Read more

Really disappointed. I have SEVERAL L’ange products I love them due to the quality. This however didn’t work great, long hair gets stuck - I was willing to chalk this up to learning curve, but didn’t even get a chance to learn. After 2 uses it began shutting or intermittently and now will not power on. Very disappointed :( Read more

I didn't achieve many curls, and those that I did get, took several passes and didn't last even through the evening. I like the fact that it has the air flow feature, and it didn't seem to damage my hair, but I'm not getting the results I hoped for. Returning it and looking for a more conventional curling iron, as I already have a straightener that I like. Read more

So far so good I really like how quick it heats up. I need to play around with a little more with the curls, but it’s doing a great job. Read more
