BED HEAD Ceramic Wave Artist Deep Waver for Beachy Waves, 15x9x7 Inch

Gave me the cutest waves for a great price!

This iron exceeded my expectations when I received it. I have long hair past my shoulders which is extremely thick, course, and curly. Some areas actually are wirey rather than curly. I had already washed and just straightened my hair with a vent brush and blow dryer the day before (I can't wash every day). Directions said to mist your hair with Bed Head hairspray (of course) mine was already sprayed with Frizz Ease hair spray. I had not straightened my hair with a flat iron prior to using the deep waver, I had as stated only used the hair dryer and vent brush which straightens my hair but does not make it smoothe by any means at all. There is a pamphlet with the iron that says it's a styling guide. It is basic directions. Iron has 3 settings. Low ~ For Fine Hair, Medium ~ For Normal to Medium Hair, & High For Thick, or Course Hair. I set the iron on High for my hair type. Breifly put the hair dryer to my hair again with the vent brush to loosen my hair up as I had had it pulled up for work and there were lines in my hair from the bands used. I then pulled the top part of my hair up on top of my head, and began using the waver on the underlying layers of hair first. I used another reviewers tip and put the flatter portion of the iron on the top side of my hair and moved the waver over it section by section. It took me about 20 minutes to do my entire head which is even faster than using the Instyler (Works as good as the old school Chi Irons that got much hotter than the Chi's of today) I also have for straightening. My hair looks amazing! Wavy, but not tacky. I just took a section of my hair ran the brush through it again to smoothe. Started at the root, held for a few seconds and moved down the length of hair. It was easy to even do the back of my head. This iron would be perfect for creating cute little updo's as well. My hair is TOTALLY UNRULY AND VERY DIFFICULT usually requiring me to take close to an hour to make a half way tolerable hairstyle after getting out of the shower. Who has that kind of time each day? Not me! So this is a true blessing at an affordable price. This iron got hot FAST! And made my Do really cute in no time! I'm sold! I may go ahead and get another one so when it wears out in a couple of years. I won't have to worry about tracking down another one :O) Oh yes, some people talked about the size and width of the iron. It is probably about 2.5 inches wide. If you have a bob that is at least jaw length you could use this iron. Just keep in mind after you go over each section you may want to pull on the hair to relax it a bit while it is still hot & your waves won't look too big for your length of hair. I did this to relax the wave that was on my hair part & it worked great. With the rest of my head I let the waves cool completely then fron the underside of my hair ran my fingers through all of my hair to loosen the hair without messing up the outer layer & I came out with smoothe beach wavy hair! So thrilled! Hope this helps everyone!

I bought this waver because I'm cheap and I didn't want to dish out $50-$100+ on those fancy wavers. I really like my Bed Head Deep Waver, but there's a few things that bug me and thus why I gave it four out of five stars:-It's very heavy. It's a good arm workout doing your hair with this thing because it's pretty huge and weights much more than any of my other curling irons. (That picture with the size proportion ain't lyin'!) So if you're a parent looking to buy this your kid this or a younger person wondering if you can hold this thing for 20 to 30 minutes by yourself, I'd say no. This is going to need adult supervision for kids and if you're kind of weak. like me. you may want to have a friend help you.-It smells like crayons when it heats your hair. Straight up waxy crayons. It's not great. It also steams a lot when you're using it and that's pretty concerning for me. I always feel like it's killing my hair much more than my other curling irons. So I use this on special occasions or when I'm on day 3 or day 4 hair when I know it can handle the heat better. I WILL say that once those curls are locked in, you can put them in braids or in a bun and it can last another couple of days and look pretty darn good. At the time that I bought this I was heavily thinking of getting a permanent wave perm and I think I'm actually set with this tool.-The heating knob is super easy to bump into. I probably accidentally turn it about 5 - 6+ times as I'm doing my hair and it's really annoying. Here's where the price really shows in the design. There HAD to be a better placement for that heat setting knob. But hey, you get what you pay for and for all the things I've listed here I'm not disappointed with this product.-The cord is a bit short for my liking. I have a handful of wonderful curling irons and I'm pleased with how long the cord is for these tools. This was the ONLY disappointing feature of this waver. Getting that cord to work with your to help curl your whole head is a challenge for sure.Overall, it's a handy tool. My waves look very pretty every time. If you've never used one of these before, it takes some getting use to but I think it's worth it! It's big, but I think you're going to run into that with any waver you come across. PLEASE be careful using this or any waver because it is very easy to burn yourself badly--I have burned myself several times and I'm no amateur with hot tools. I won't lie eventually I may buy a nicer waver when I feel like it's worth the investment, but for now this is a great, inexpensive alternative.

Es perfecto!
