So here’s the first post about my many curling irons, wands, hot rollers and straighteners. Before I even begin talking (or typing) about what works and what doesn’t I should explain a bit about my hair itself. I have a little-below-my-shoulder-length hair. It’s very thick and wavy. It was cut in an angled bob so the back is about three inches shorter then the front of my hair. My hair doesn’t really like any extra hair products, like gel but hair spray does just fine. I used to have more layers but now it’s more of just my bangs growing out. Now onto the review.

I think the main selling points for this set is the price. If you’ve never had a curling iron or anything that similar than it might be tempting to think hey I get three irons for only $18! Which breaks down to about $6 a piece. You do get three different sizes, 1/2 in., 3/4 in. & 1in. This is good if you want to create natural looking curls just use two or all three. They also have a swivel cord and built in counter rest (these were selling points on the website). Now you’d be hard pressed to find any other iron that doesn’t have those attributes so I really don’t see them as ‘selling points’. Now with that aside, this iron did not work for me. I’ve had several irons and have had my hair curled several times and they all did a better job than this. It doesn’t get hot enough, but you have no clue what the temperature is because you can’t choose, you just plug in and it starts to warm up. There’s really not much to say other than if you only want a flip or a small curl only on the bottom of your hair then go for it. But there are other quality irons from Conair and it might cost a bit more, but I’d rather pay $18 for one iron that really works. |
