I really can't do my hair at all, but can use this really easily. My hair isn't too long though so it works well. My niece has really long hair and it got tangled easily.

Hated it op, better with a traditional
curling tong

I had the original one. My hair was shoulder length. I loved it, as my curls lasted for 3 days. It did take a long time to do my hair though as mine is very thick.

Love it… I have very long hair, and it gives long lasting curls.

cons - it’s heavy to hold, takes ages to do as I have very thick hair and it can only take small sections at a time (takes approx an hour for me to do properly so I only use it for special occasions not everyday styling)

i bought mine 2nd hand for about £30 - hardly used, they are not for everyone. But I am not good at styling my own hair, and can’t use straighteners to get curls.

Those saying it tangles long, thick hair is because they were putting too much hair in at one time (probably being impatient? Because it is not quick to use)

Probs too late now but a cloud 9 wand is a game changer. It's the only thing they will hold a curl in my hair. And I've tried everything x

AnonyMum21 · 24/12/2022 16:09

It’s the only gadget I have good results with - and can do on my own (I’m normally useless)

Nap1983 · 24/12/2022 16:12

For that kind of cash you’re as well spending a bit more and getting a GHD Oracle. So easy to use just works like a straightener but curls. I’m not great at hair but love mine! Xx

Absolutely cannot curl my hair but I can use this.

DannydeVitooo · 24/12/2022 17:35

THANK YOU everyone so much. I can’t do tongs at all. Hair just below my shoulders. This could work

I have 1 of those wylera things that sucks it up . Really easy to use and stays in for a couple of days.

MerryChristmasToYou · 24/12/2022 19:02

Opened thread to see if OP was getting her knickers in a twist

SleekMamma · 24/12/2022 23:30

Yes I have that gadget. It is mildly terrifying but yes it does work.

Motorcycleemptyness · 25/12/2022 22:29

is this a newer version of their curl secret thing that sucks your hair up and curls it? If so then I have the earlier version and it’s the only thing I’ve been able to use to get curls (I am really bad at curling my hair!). I use it on the highest setting and then brush it out with a wide tooth comb and I love the curls it gives me. You do have to put a small amount of hair in it and be patient or it does get stuck in it!
