This is the curling wand that was featured in my most recent Shop and Tell Breast Cancer Month Feature. Here are a few of the pro's and con's that I found with this hair tool and my final thoughts on it:
Pros:
- I love the bright pink color, very different than the other lighter pink tones that I was seeing everywhere, adds a nice special "limited edition" touch!
- I love the swivel cord because this assures that you never have any of those messy tangled wires to deal with.
- I love that you can choose from various different heat settings depending on what temperature you are comfortable with using on your hair type. (I use the hottest one because in my opinion, after a heat protectant, my hair can handle this :)
- The fact that this curling wand heats up in no time is just wonderful as well, who wants to wait forever for their curling iron to heat up after all right?!
- Another small but very helpful feature is a little plastic fastener on the cord. It allows you to secure the folded wire in place for safe and completely fool proof neat storage.
- I find that my hair often slips down the barrel and this is definitely because of the way it is shaped. I love the shape of the curl I get, but hate that I often have to "re-wrap" my hair around the barrel. Practice is really the only thing that can assure that you encounter this less often.
- Another thing that I find happens a few times while I am in the process of curling is that I accidentally power off the curling iron all together! It's quite easy to do being that the button is right in an area where you are placing a good grip while curling. It is easy to just switch it back on and because of the lightening fast heat up time, isn't REALLY a huge problem, but kind of annoying to say the least.
Some pics of my personal results:
I absolutely loved the results curling with this product gave me. They were the most natural looking beautiful waves ever! They started out tighter and throughout the day, fell just perfectly to a gorgeous look. To top it off, I was SO surprised to find that even the next morning when I woke up, they looked the absolute SAME! I touched up the top of my hair a little with some hairspray and pinned back my bangs the next day and had the SAME beautiful waves, it was as if I had just curled them again. This proved that this wand provides long lasting curls and I love that.
**I used Heat Protectant as always, and for the hairspray, I used Paul Mitchell Soft Spray.

Your hair looks amazinggg! I have wanted an iron like this and always thought they only came in expensive brands...so happy to see that Conair sells one as well! I have such a problem with my curls holding, though. I'll curl my hair and it'll look good for a few minutes and then fall. Ugh!
