Dream curls in no time
I received the device as part of a free product test and was able to test it extensively. I must say, I am really more than thrilled! The housing of the curler is very high quality workmanship. The curling iron is ceramic coated, which is very good for the hair. The device is very good in the hand and I find it also from the weight not too heavy, if you styling longer with it. I like that the cable is very long. Another plus is that the curler also heats up to the desired temperature within seconds. However, it doesn't get hot from the outside, so you can put it very close to your head or near your ears, you will NEVER get burned! In total, you have 27 different settings. 3 temperature settings (170°, 190°, 210°), 3 time settings (8sec, 10sec, 12sec) and 3 settings for the direction of rotation (left, right, automatic alternating). The hair can also not get tangled in the curling iron, thanks to the automatic stop, the device turns off immediately if too many hairs are pulled in at once. The first time I tried it, it took me a few tries to get the hair right in the curler, but you get the hang of it quickly and then it goes very quickly and easily. I tested the curler on my waist length, very thick hair. Since I'm very big on hair care and protection, I was afraid at first that it would get dry and brittle, but that was absolutely not the case! On the contrary, my hair looked beautifully shiny and healthy thanks to the ceramic coating and Ionic care. And even though I used it every 2 to 3 days, I never noticed any damage to my hair! The curls become very nicely defined and bouncy. Of course, I would always recommend heat protection and additionally use hair products to help with long hair to make those gorgeous curls last longer. For me, they last a whole day. The next day I still have wavy hair, but it still looks great. Because of the length of my hair, I just sectioned off thinner strands, but I was still almost always done after half an hour. I can recommend this device 100%!
I highly recommend this.
I was about to get a dyson airwrap but then I saw this — I'm really glad I gave this one a try. Beautiful curls that last, quick and easy to use. Clearly a product that works at such a reasonable price. I highly recommend.
