This is teeny and works great. Heats quickly and gets quite hot (but not too hot, at least in my usage thus far). I got it to travel with to help me spruce up my natural curls where they go flat, especially around my face. My hair is long, so I should have thought more about that (it does clearly say it's for short hair); if I do wind a strand tightly enough around it to fit it all on the barrel, it will end up an absurd, tight little ringlet of half the length the hair started as, which is a little excessive for my purposes. But I've been able to do the top half of the curl and then the bottom half separately to suit my purposes, so I'm willing to do that given how little space this takes up in my luggage. I'm sure it's fantastic for short hair. Read more
This is a lightweight curling iron. Easy to pack and take on your travels. Heat temperature does get really, really hot so you have to keep an eye on it. I placed it on a towel, and it burnt the towel. As soon as it is heated, use it. It makes really nice curls and I like it. You just have to practice with it a bit to figure it out. But overall, worth a 5 rating because of the size and convenience for travel. Read more
This “travel” curling rod heats up quickly, and does the job! Wow! But use a glove when handling the “cool” tip. It gets very warm - so warm, that you should take care to make sure you keep it away from your scalp (and your face) when using. It makes a quick, strong curl , let curl cool and it holds. Be sure to unplug and allow to cool down before storing in its bag. But it’s a very compact, easy to use curling rod and it works well. Remember the glove! Read more
My wife really likes the size and convenience of this product. Functions very well. Read more
lost my hair to chemo, little less than 1yr later i am almost able to curl it but my curling iron had a large barrel...so i looked for a small one. the size is perfect, the clip grips nicely and my hair is fine right now. BUT IT GETS HOT!! i grew up in the 70's, i know and have used MANY curling irons. again, THIS GETS HOT. but it curls my hair, if i'm super careful i don't get even burnt a little. doesn't seem to hurt the hair. i suggest turning it off and on as tmp regulation...it heats up almost immediately.
