HerStyler Mini Tapered 1/2 to 3/4 Curling Iron

I really love this curling iron and the fact that it is so small and gives very tight and beautiful kinky curls. I have 18" tape in extensions and this curled them so so well! It took me literally 5-6 minutes to do my entire head. This heats up VERY fast but does not have a temperature thing on it unfortunately. But it gets very hot. I only have to hold this on my hair for about 5-10 seconds and it gives the most gorgeous kinky waves. It also comes with a handy heat protectant mit(Which was a little too big for my small hand but i can still wear it :) The quality feels SUPER cheap but that doesnt stop the fact that this is one of the best small curling irons ive used. I love that it comes in pink too! Lol I posted a picture, those are the curls after they fell out after an hour or two(i used no product in my hair) Overall one of the best curling irons!

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.

Okay Ill start off by saying first When you buy this do not expect it to look like the picture. The barrel is black and the handle is pink so don't get your hopes up on that one. Besides that the thing works great! It heats up really fast and curls within seconds of touching your hair. I know you guys aren't buying this thing because you thought the whole thing was pink because then you wasted your money but if not you made the right purchase! This thing is really a magic wand that curls your hair within seconds! I love it and it is perfect for my short hair I am growing out! I love it and I could not be more happier! I just got it today and I curled my hair as soon as I got it and I love the results! Buy it and you wont be disappointed! good luck! Also it comes with a glove! don't burn yourself because it gets super hot!

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!

I love this and had to write a review since I probably woulnd't have bought it without them. (i added a pic of how my hair turned out). I have long hair (just past the middle of my back), it's fine but there's a lot of it, and it doesn't hold curl well. The curls with this thing lasted days. I paid $41. About the unit: it is super light weight and heats up in <30 seconds. There is no indicator light. It has a swivel cord which i always like. It is 18mm tapered shaft (about the size of a dime at it's widest) and approx 8 inches long. this is the size that gives you the spirals like taylor swifts hair. the other size they have is called the 'grande' and it doesn't give the same look (but i also like it). Mine did come with a glove. The glove is probably large for most women, it fit me fine though (long hands). it may seem like a regular winter glove but it is not. while you won't be able to wrap your hand around the wand with it, it does have fibers that protect you from the burns you would receive otherwise. you'll still feel the heat though. use the glove, even if you have to restitch it to get it to fit. Usage: I found it easy and FAST. I didn't section my hair, i'm too impatient and I did random pieces rather than starting any particular place. What I recommend is starting AWAY from your face. Hold the wand a 2-3 inches from your scalp, then take a section of hair and start wrapping it around the base of the wand, going toward the narrow tip. After you wrap your hair around one time, you can pull hair a bit, like a string, to move the wand closer to your scalp (but do not rest it on your scalp). Another reason you don't need to get it too close is that as your winding you rotate your wrist (just like a regular curling iron) to curl that little section toward the base. If you have long hair like mine, might want to wrap a little loose, so you can keep schooching the hair down the shaft to fit it all. The curl takes approx 3-4 SECONDS to set, but I suppose this will vary a bit by hair type and how big the hair section is. I would say my sections were medium. As you get to the tip, you might find that your hair slips off, if this frustrates you, don't sweat it, once you've finished your hair you can go back and wind the very tips of your hair along the wand. Plenty of video demos on youtube of this type of styler. my whole head took me about 20 minutes, my arm didn't get tired because it was so light, and it was actually fun! i would definitely unplug this when done due to the lack of indicator light. watch getting knock off brands that don't heat up as well. i would definitely recommend this product!
