You can create some curls or waves with this flat iron, but it would be a slight rather than tight, depending on how you work it. The great thing about this flat iron is that the long handle and plates doesn't cramp my hand. You can adjust the temperature to suit your hair needs. It also has a handy sheath as you can store it while it's still cooling and not worry about melting anything nearby.

It would be a bit difficult to create curls, as this is a flat iro, but I guess you could , with enough skill you can turn it so and create curls. Still, I wouldn't buy it for that purpose. It's not too hot.

Have never tried curls, though I would say probably, yes. Does not get hot in the handle area at all. This iron is skinny, but not as short as others that may have more of a heat in handle problem.

I have not used to create curls but I think you should be able to do it. It does not get too hot to hold, at least for 10 min which is the max time I have used it.

I have had this flat iron for several months and have had no problems with the handle getting hot. I am not sure much curls you are wanting but I have short hair (down to my jaw line) and it does a real nice job flipping my hair under. I haven't tried any curls before just a quick flip of the ends.

I'm not sure.. because the wand is round and so is the clip that holds your hair to it.. but any heat will straighten your hair to a certain degree. I love mine! but i use it as a curling iron. enjoy!

Hi, im sorry cant really tell you that I have never tried to curl my hair with it, just plain flat. Hopefully someone can help you. But I believe you can. This flat iron is awesome!

Yeah u can curl w/it, but the outside of the iron is very matte-textured, not smooth, so it kind of pulls on the hair. Not comfortable to curl with.

you need to have pretty fast hands to turn the iron for a curl with no dents in it. I wouldnt use it for curling but a simple twist is easy enough

I have had no problem with my curls holding. I do use a product called Kenra Hot Spray before I roll my hair so that helps my curl to hold all day!

I have very long hair and it doesn't seem to snag on mine. I also have naturally curly hair so it is hard to find a good flat iron and I really think this one works great! :)

Yes it can. I flat iron and curl mine almost daily. It is also colored and it took well.

There are 4 separate pieces of curling barrels that you connect to your iron. The sizes of the barrel are 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1.5 inch, and a tapered 1 inch barrel that create different beautiful curls I personally love. And the curling iron itself is small , average like 6 inches long, easy to use except it doesn't really have a clip for the iron if you set it down on a counter. But I really hope this answered your question love! (: Have a great day! (:

Yes you can curl your hair with this straightener. It works better for me than a curling iron, because it doesn't leave kinks.

When holding the handle it is cool to the touch. You can most definitely hold it to your head. The longer you hold it in place the tighter your curl will be. It is fabulous!! If you have longer hair and it gets tangles it has a release button, so it won't pull your hair out!!

It's just the typical doll hair (similar to a Barbie doll, I guess). I haven't tried curling it but I don't think it would hold a curl without using a product (craft stiffen spray or hair spray, maybe) to hold the curl. I'd be leery of applying heat to it. Sorry this isn't more helpful.

It depends on how long it is and how tight you curl it. As for the thickness, it will just take you longer if you have to use smaller pieces. It gets extremely hot so their shouldn't be any problem with it actually curling.

if you can .. with average temperature in your curling iron, when he made ​​this curl hold it in hand a few minutes until it is cold and then released ... is wonderful ....

I wouldn't say curl, it really just adds a lot of body if you use it correctly. Almost like using an old fashioned heated roller set system without having to roll each piece individually and waiting for it to cool and then brush out. When using a hot curling brush, the hot air that flows through it like a hair dryer is basically forming the hair into the shape of the wand with the heat kind of like a curling iron does but the curl is much softer, not defined. If this wand had a cold shot button and you were able to hold the hair on the brush while hot and then cool it, the curl would be much more defined and last longer. The bonus with this wand is the lock/unlock feature of the barrel. I haven't been able to find a wand that has both a cold shot and a locking barrel. That would be ideal to be able to create a real curl that would last .

Yes it's a great flat iron and Ive had it for a long time. It's works great on curly hair it just has a bad burning smell but other than that the flat iron is a A+

I have straight hair and have never used a Flat Iron so I really don't know- it doesn't get very hot. I would say no! If it were a substitute for a flat iron I'm sure the manufacturer would state that in the description.
