I have seen so many ads for these types of curling irons…. But I had no idea how they really worked.I saw how beautifully styled and wavy/curly it made the hair of others who have purchased this tool and reviewed. So I got myself one during the Prime Deal.Getting the hang of the tool only took ~10 mins. I was grateful for that because I had just recently learned out to use the “wand” curling iron and it was so hard for me to get the hang of it after years of using a traditional method curling iron.So this curling iron is nothing like either of those. This is just so easy to use that I can use it while I’m watching movies or even sitting up in bed. It has great temperature settings and it displays the degrees of heat on the front so you can choose the right temp for your hair. This tool allows for consistent curls that look wavy and beautiful around d a 1 inch barrelI seriously love it. It really feels like a revolutionary invention for hair dressing, hair design, and how women will be doing their hair in the future. I am definitely obsessed with doing my hair now that I have this curling iron, and it took probably 40 min to completed the first time but I was very distracted by a show. The second time, it took me 5-20 minutes depending on how many curl and how much hair you have.The 4 beeps function is epic. This curled will tell you when your curl is finished heating around d the barrel and you very simply put your hair strand, spin in desired direction, wait for the beeps, and move on!I love mine so much I actually bought the curling iron for a gift to my sister in law.I used a heat spray and let dry when applying any heat.It really does work! Positive that this new tool is the latest and greatest tech innovation for women’s hair care because it allows you to style your hair but with the protection of its hard plastic outer layers that is made to lay against your head. So that’s another interesting feature, you can hold the outer layer against your head and you do not get burnt. I thought that was wild. Due to the fact that you do not need to monitor the closeness of the hot tool to your scalp, and it gives you some freedom to watch tv, text, and basically use one hand to rest the barrel of the curler to my head and the other hand freely for whatever else I might need to be doing. Typically curling irons need to be held a few inches away from the scalp to avoid burning the skin with the tool. This curler almost completely prevents a change of burning the scalp or fingers by protective hard outer layer that does not feel even a little hot, even when I raised the heat to its maximum. That’s HUGE, lol. This feature also makes it a great gift for younger ones who might like to curl their hair but your not sure you want to hand your kid a completely open hot iron that are actually the source of many serious burn injuries. Curling wands sometimes come with gloves which can protect hands but forearms are often burned. I just find this design really neat and safe. The other smart safety feature is the built in self timer that locks when you turn it off. I believe there are 15 minute - 17 minute -19 minute timers which are genius. One of the greatest anxieties one will face in her (their, his) lifetime is the thought of being unsure of whether or not you “unplugged your hot tool before you left this morning”. That very real fear is also almost eliminated because it will turn off according to the timer but it will heat up super quick if it does happen to stop if you have a long of thick hair and it isn’t enough time.Not only does this tool feature enhanced safety features and an increased ease of use, it makes your hair look absolutely stunning. It makes a beautiful way/curly beachy loo and brushing out these curls look sophisticated. I ended up buying a second one for my sister in law and she loves it. I think the pink one is the least costly of all the colors or at least for now it is.Overall I am impressed with this new design innovation and love using it!!I know how many of these are on the market and this is the first time I’ve bought an automatic curling device, so I’m not sure if this is the best option but it certainly met my expectations and hopes.If you’re on the fence or think it might be too complicated to figure out how to use, I would definitely recommend getting it and just using it a couple times. It took me months to get the hang of the wand iron but this took me less than 10 mins to master, making this newbie friendly, safe, affordable, comfortable, and great at making a beautiful curl. I am not usually a big writer on Amazon reviews, but I honestly think this hair tool is something to be excited about if you want to curl your hair but aren’t familiar with the technique.
