I really love the Hot Tool Curling Irons have used them for years in the salon, they are the best, but I find the cords twist and the irons burn out too fast!! I wish the maker of this iron would redesign the cord for longer use.

No. Curling iron contains electronic components so it cannot be used in HIGH setting. If its power is over 50W then it cannot be used in LOW setting either.

I use it mainly for my camera and phone. I know the demands of a curling iron are much higher as one almost set fire to my bathroom in Bangalore, India (not from me, but from a traveling companion). I love it for my uses but when traveling, I forego the hair dryer/curling iron in the interests of safety. I also add a swiveling three prong outlet to the strip for added electronics. I never leave home without this strip. Most hotels/motels have limited outlets.

I'm guessing that it might work better than for fine hair as the clip to hold the hair is not very tight. I can't just use more hair, or it won't curl at all. Shortly after I bought it, I found a curling iron of the same width in a closet at home. I use that one instead.

It's definitely usable, but I'm not sure how great the curls would come out. My recommendation would be using a straightener to create curls for shorter hair, but if you are looking for big loose curls then you could definitely still use this wand, in my opinion.

It heats up pretty fast....It works well for me. I would recommend this curling iron. Also it doesn't get too hot, where you have to worry about burning yourself.....Some of the newer irons are dangerously hot, that's just my opinion.

Yes you can use it to curl your hair! They actually are beautiful curls, if you want big, nice, voluminous, bouncy curls. I love this iron!

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

It heats up pretty good. But of course not like a salon style curling iron.

i never tried to put the hot curling iron in. i think it would melt a little. you might wanna put a silicon pad on the bottom and put the iron.

I only bought the flat iron to straighten my hair. However, I tried to curl some strands to be able to answer your question. Although I am not familiar with the technique as I have never in my entire life curled my hair, I can say that with little skill I had, I was able to do some loose curls.

I think you should dry hair before using this iron brush. If hair is wet, you cannot make perfect curls. Moreover, if you want to straighten your curly hair, this iron brush is not good choice. It's hard to make straight hair with this product.

YES....You WILL love it....It was my 1st time using one of these also. You can make your curls tight or lose depends on where you place it on the wand. My hair is very straight & curls wouldn't stay in my hair no matter what. With this wand, the curls look the same at the end of the day, even the next day after sleeping on curls, all I have to do is touch them up a little. It's also a lot faster to use than any other iron. Let me know how you like it after you purchase...Cristy Hannah/Alabama

I wouldn't recommend using heat products on it, but I will admit I straightened the hair once before. It basically makes the hair look fried.:\ if you keep the iron on the lowest setting and run it through quickly, it should be fine. I used hairspray in mine, so the "fried" look could be a result from the use of hairspray. best of luck. hope I was able to be of some help to you!
