Disclaimer: I was not paid to do this review. This is based solely on my opinion of the product.
First Impression:
- It's lightweight, lighter than what I was expecting.
- The metal finish creeps me out a bit because I think it will BURN hair compared to the ceramic ones. They said the "Chromium Surface" will smooth and protect the hair - it sure looks like metal to me, I do not know what Chromium is, and I don't want to Google it. LOL.
What I like:
- I tried the product on mom's hair, and it produced average sized curls (I forgot to take pictures I'm sorry)
- I didn't worry about putting an adapter. As a safety feature, the appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
- Heats up fast
- 25 heat setting
What I don't like:
- Heat setting dial - I think this might break easily. I would have preferred a digital counter and a button to adjust the heat settings. The solution: always use the highest heat setting regardless of the hair type but adjust the curling time depending on the hair type
- Handle is not sturdy (at least for my grip)
The cheapest one I saw before this purchase was a Tigi Bed Head Curlipops Curling Wand sold for a reasonable price of Php1700. As of today, it is still for sale. View the item here. It looks like this:
My next target: a big-ass curling iron. The biggest one I know of is from Hot Tools which has a 2" barrel. In doesn't look really big in the picture, but trust me IT DOES. I plan on using this product on the lower 1/3 portion of the hair (when sectioned), then use the Con Air curling iron for the other 2/3.
