EXCELLENT curling iron.  My hairstylist at Aveda uses this curling iron, and recommended it to achieve loose curls/beach waves.  I have very fine shiny hair which is usually difficult to curl. With a bit of Kenra 25 hairspray my curls last all day! I would recommend this to anyone with healthy hair. (if your hair is brittle be sure to use a heat protectant and turn down the heat setting)
