"Somewhere in the fine print for this item I'm sure there is a sentence that says, "Buy this if you're a sucker."
I use a regular ceramic curling item to make spiral curls in my hair. It works great, but when I saw this item I had visions of even better curls, so I ordered it.
What a pain to use. This iron has a raised spiral pattern along the length of the barrel, and you're supposed to painstakingly wind your hair between these raised spirals... I'm guessing to make an even curl. It takes forever to do this. I did ok on the right side of my head (I'm right-handed) but I had trouble doing the left side. You have to be a contortionist to get the iron at the correct angle and roll it up smoothly. And remember that this is coming from an experienced curling iron user.
Were my curls any better than with a conventional curling iron? That would be a big fat NO. AND it took double the amount of time to curl my hair. I kept it, solely because it is good to have a back-up if your regular iron dies at a critical moment, but I don't have any interest in using it."
