Advantages: Curls quickly, hair looks glossy

Disadvantages: Takes a while to get the hang of the technique

This curling wand is fantastic! Before this, I have always used either hair straighteners or a curling tong with a clamp and the curls never seemed to last and it seemed so time consuming so I decided to try one of these wands.
The wand has a conical barrel to help give a more natural free flowing curl and a high heat of 200 degrees which really helps to curl and hold the style. You also receive a glove to use whilst curling so that you don't burn your hand and it has a cool safety tip.
It did take me a few attempts to get used to it as I kept getting confused which hand I was using and had to keep swapping my glove over to stop myself from burning my hand but after a few goes I got the hang of it. I find it easier to point the barrel down and wrap the hair around from the front and hold it at the tip.
The curls last for ages and they seemed to look a lot glossier than they have when I've curled it with other appliances.
The only bad thing I would say about this product is that you have to be so careful not to burn yourself. Keep the wand away from your face and neck when curling and don't hold the wand for too long with your gloved hand as the glove is heat resistant but only to a certain point.
Overall a good product and for the price it definitely does its job!

Summary: Great curling wand, quick curly hair, would definitely recommend to a friend
