Gimic or game changer?

have a long bob at the moment and have just started using tongs to make it go curly but it's a bit of a faff and it's frying the ends.

Do you? How often do you use it? Do the curls last all day?

Love it. I have dead straight hair so I always make sure I have products applied to the hair before (boots mousse and Umberto Giannini heat protective spray). That way the curls stay until end of the day. I don't use it often - maybe once a week? I struggle to get out of the house in the morning during the week!

Does anyone own one who has really thick hair? I can't quite imagine using it on my hair, which is just below shoulder length and v thick. Wouldn't it take aeons?

My hair is long (boob length) would it still work?

Best invention EVER. Just had a long bob cut from having reasonably long hair, it works fabulous on either length

I was really disappointed with mine. I rarely use it. It takes too long to go through my whole head one thin piece at a time. I find it difficult to do the back of my head. It gives a good curl but it doesn't give any kind of root lift. I prefer heated rollers.

would it cope with very long hair?

I have one too and have never used it, but I am having a hairdresser come round to curl my hair soon so will be making notes!

On very long hair you can either take tiny strands or curl only the ends of the hair. There's a limit to how much hair the barrel can take.

I'm convinced. Boots has triple points on so it should load about £15 of points onto my card if I get it there.
