" ... I have very fine hair that has a mind of its own. ... This curling iron is able to tame my hair without burning my hands or fingers. ... If you left it in your hair as long as you would with a traditional iron, there might be a problem. ... I use the lowest setting and first brush it through my hair. ... Then I wrap the hair to curl the ends. ... My hair is not quite shoulder length and the brush is able to catch and hold the hair easily. ... "
" ... I can quickly change my hair style with little effort. ... "
" ... The barrel is shorter which works great for my short hair. ... "
" ... It is very nice, leaves my hair shiny, I like the cool tip at the end so it doesn't burn my hand. ... "

" ... The size and design are nice, but the dial for heat control does absolutely nothing. ... "
" ... There is no release button, even though directions say there is. ... "
" ... My only frustration with it is that my finger hits the on/off button when I am using it, so I have to be careful not to shut it off when I’m curling my hair. ... "
" ... Not only was the product not as shown (mine only had an on off button with no temperature reading or adjustment) but it is impossible to curl your hair without getting it completely tangled in the bristles to the point where you cannot get it out. ... "
" ... The only issue I have with it is the location of the on/off switch. ... "
