This curling iron is fantastic! I love it! I have very straight hair and it's very hard to keep curls in it! If you don't really know how to do your hair well, be careful and don't burn it. It gets a lot hotter than a lot of other curling irons so you don't have to put the temperature very high! It lasts really long! Great to use for any special occasion! Hot Tools is the best hair iron company!
