Herstyler Baby Curls Small Curling Wand - Mini Curling Iron - 1/2 to 3/4 Tapered - Small Barrel - Skinny - Pink

I bought this for my 14 year old daughter. She loves trying out new hair tools and experimenting with styles. When I first read the reviews about how this iron really makes the hair hold curls, I thought to my self - why? what makes it so different?I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know now that it is definitely true. The curls it creates are beautiful and they stay, period. I was worried at first that because the barrel is so skinny, the curls would be tight, but that is not the case. it actually makes larger sized curls. The curls are about the size you would get if you used a 1 inch regular barrel iron. My daughter's hair looks amazing when she uses this.It seems to be well made. We have had no problems with it at all. The purple color is so pretty and the price here at Amazon was great. Definitely a wise investment. I have paid way more than this for other irons and hair tools and they did not perform as well as this Herstyler. I am very impressed with it and definitely recommend it.UPDATE 2/26/13 - I just wanted to come back and say that I am completely amazed by this curling iron! My hair is long, down to my butt and layered. It is a little on the thin side and does not hold curl well at all. With regular curling irons, even the expensive professional ones, the curl would fall out before I was even done curling all of my hair and that's with using hairspray while curling and other hot tool styling aides.I was bored and having a bad hair day, so I had my 15 year old daughter do my hair with this Herstyler last night and I was absolutely amazed at how my hair turned out. The curls all stayed and I didn't even use any extra styling products. The only thing that was in my hair was some mousse from when I blowdried my hair early in the morning. I could not believe how wonderful my hair looked. When my husband came home from work and saw me, he did a double take and said "Wow!"Even with my hair being so long, she had my whole head done in about 20 minutes. I had her do a lot of smaller sections too, so that I had a lot of volume and fullness. I was amazed at how quick it was to get done.You only leave the hair on the wand for a second or two, literally. When she first started and I noticed the hair was coming off the wand almost immediately, I asked my daughter if she was sure she was leaving it on there long enough. She said, "Yes, Mom. Trust me." Well, she was right because every single strand she did held the curl perfectly. This is sooooo much faster than using a regular curling iron.I just woke up (the next day after she did my hair) and the curls are all still PERFECT. This is unbelievable. I am going to have my daughter do my hair more often with the Herstyler lol and wish I would have tried it sooner.Absolutely wonderful product and highly recommended!

Now I'm going to preface this by saying I have never curled my hair before with a wand or a curling iron. I have always been horrible at it unless I was using one like the automatic/instyler pro by conair one. But i was DETERMINED to get this look. So i did tiny parts of hair and used the glove the entire time because I'm terrified of burning myself and wanted to get a cheaper one in case I couldn't do it and never used it again. Instead though, it was soooo easy to get used to. This was my first attempt and i loveeddd how it came out. it stayed all day. It heats up very quickly. There isn't really any temp. control, just a switch, but the heat it was at was perfect. Each section curled in just seconds. The glove was a bit loose but it worked great and i didn't burn myself once for being a beginner. My one criticism is that there is no feature that tells you its working. Like no light to show it's heating. just the on switch and then you can feel the rod to see if it's heating, but I wasn't used to that. But honestly i didn't care. it was so cute, came with a glove and nice packaging, and worked awesome for a low price. I'd definitely recommend it!

excellent

I was going to return this but waited too long. I have short shoulder length hair cut into a bob. I looked at the other reviews and thought I could get the same lovely curls but my hair was just too short and my skills were lacking. I burnt my neck twice and ended up looking like a deranged rooster. The glove provided is too large but I think that kinda common and I do have small hands. It does get VERY hot . This is a good thing and a bad thing. If you aren't experienced with these wands it's easy to get burned but it does curl your hair quickly. It seems to be a good quality wand especially for the money . Only takes a minute or so to heat up and the curls last. I do think this is best for someone with longer hair and plenty of patience to make all those curls. I think I'll stick to my 1980s style curling irons that I'm used to.

Yes, this gets freakishly hot, as people have bitched about, however it didn't damage my hair, or the other girl's hair that I used it on, who has very fragile, thin hair. this is literally the best curling wand I have ever used in my life. I wasn't sure how to use a wand correctly, so I had to look up a tutorial, cause I was used to using curling irons, however this thing works like a dream, and only takes a few seconds to make a lovely curl. It has a cool color, I got the purple. it cools down fast, and it heats up very fast. DONT CHECK IF ITS HOT, IT IS. I do agree with other customers, that I wish it had a stand, so that we could put it down to cool off, but I just put it inside my bathroom sink, or tub until it cools down, after I unplug it, but this is absolutely beautiful, and has done wonders for my hair. I'm very, very pleased with it, and the pros heavily outweigh the cons, and I am a very picky virgo, so trust my opinion. Haha.

My roommate had this curling iron and when she moved I was so utterly heartbroken, not because she left but because she took it with her that I had to buy one asap. It makes the most perfect curls as long as you practice with it and figure out the correct amount of hair to use for your hair type - too little and you have frizzy curls and too much and it doesn't curl completely. The only drawback I can see to this is that the glove is way too large (and I have large hands) so you have to use your fingers and that can lead to some burning.Some nice things about the rod are one, it doesn't an arm on the rod so you don't have those unsightly shelves that can be caused by the curling iron arm. Another is you can create barrel curls as well as spiral curls by just adjusting how you lay out your hair. The final thing I appreciate is how fast it works. it heats up in about a minute and for curling, if you're using a small piece, it's done in about 10 seconds.I highly recommend this product.
