" ... The iron doesn't get caught on my hair and is smooth to the touch. ... "
" ... I have long, stick straight hair, and this actually curls my hair so well it holds into the next day. ... "
" ... I love it , very professional, 10 min and my hair ready ❤️❤️❤️❤️👌 Thank you so much !!! ... "
" ... In fact, I usually joke that it looks like I straightened my hair when I curl it, because my hair sucks that much! ... Well this curling wand is such a great product that exactly how I styled my hair in the morning is how my hair looked after a 14 hour day at work, in and out of the soggy Florida humidity. ... I even slept on my hair and woke up the next day with bouncy curls! ... "
" ... Great curling wand with glove. ... For my long hair it curls just right. ... I do have to use the glove because I'm not that good at fixing my hair but this makes it a lot easier. ... "
" ... I had help curling the back of my hair (for an event) but it was easy enough to use on my own for the front. ... This 1/2-1inch is better on my shorter hairs than the 3/4-1 1/2. ... "
" ... I looked at many hair wands for the one and read many reviews hoping to get a hair wand I could use for a long time. ... "
" ... I have naturally curly hair. ... Since I have a great cut finally I've let it grow long, about 10 inches below my shoulders. ... I just starting using a flat iron for variation, but my hair just does not look good completely straight. ... My hair felt soft, and I did not have a sense of burning the hair like my flat iron does (it is not ceramic). ... "

" ... I really like that it comes with a glove for your hand. ... "
" ... The first I did tighter curls and the second I did waves. ... "
" ... Almost burned my fingers. ... "
" ... Other than that it seems well designed, and I appreciate the glove because I tried in vain to get the short waves and would have burned the crap out of my hand without it. ... "
" ... Takes practice to use, I always wear the glove and style my hair in smaller sections with the tip of the wand pointing down ... "
" ... I love the share of the curls the oval barrel creates. ... The glove you get with it is actually a bathing glove. ... "
" ... Overall I think this is a great wand and the curls stayed put all day! ... "
" ... My curls hold all day too! ... I’m obsessed and I look forward to curling my hair every single time because it’s so quick and comfortable. ... "

" ... Only down side is its very long so you will need a heat safe mat for this product. ... "
" ... I like that it came with the heat resistant glove as well. ... "
" ... It heats up very quickly. ... "
" ... The wand heats up in a few short seconds and has many temperatures to choose from. ... "
" ... I would say it was around 2-3 full minutes to heat up. ... I suppose I got spoiled to my flat iron that heats up in about 25 seconds to 395. ... "
" ... It also came with a heat resistant glove. ... The heat is adjustable from 200-410. ... "
" ... Good curling iron - I like the size of the curls and it heats well. ... "
" ... Heats up really fast and there are so many settings on how hot you'd like for the wand to get to. ... "

" ... It has the option to adjust the temp control which I love because I need the temp super hot so my hair will stay curled. ... "
" ... I’ve used a tapered hot tools iron for years and always loved the way it curls my hair but unfortunately my old iron doesn’t have dual voltage. ... I’ve been using this non-stop for about 3 weeks and it’s my new favorite curling iron. ... "
" ... I've been trying to create wavy hair but the curling wand and curling irons that I had always created too much curl and it wasn't the wavy look I was going for. ... "
" ... It comes with the glove (which I need because I burn myself from hot hair often). ... "
" ... I find the best way to get my curls to last all day is to wash my hair and then put a medium-strong hold mousse in when it is still mostly wet (I always air dry a little before putting mousse in), then blow dry, I use hair clips to section off my hair before starting (it definitely makes the curling process easier), then after I'm all done curling my hair I brush my fingers through my hair to smooth out and separate some of the curls, then I finish with hairspray. ... "
" ... Very happy with this curling wand, never used one before and it takes some practice, but gives nice curls that last! ... "
" ... My daughters hair is very fair and hard to keep a curl, with this wand her hair holds a girl like no other and her competition hair is on point. ... "
" ... My daughter has waist length hait and this curling wand works amazing. ... "

" ... It's a great product for the price point, though the pouch and glove feel cheap. ... "
" ... I use the protective glove which works well, too. ... I like the curls I get with this wand that are smooth and last until my next shampoo (I use Garnier Flat Iron Perfector protective spray on dry hair before curling). ... "
" ... Comes in amazing packaging (including a quality box and a heat resistant zippered carry bag). ... "

" ... The storage/carrying pouch is a nicety as well, though the glove it came with I would not recommend using. ... "
" ... The bag keeps it protected from items that may scratch the finish, the glove protects from burns. ... "
