HerStylerBaby Curls Mini Curling Iron | Tapered 1/2 to 3/4 Curling Iron | Skinny Curling Wand for Queens Who Want to Be Crowned in Curls | 9mm to 13mm Wand with Dual Voltage | Pink

I bought this for my 14 year old daughter. She loves trying out new hair tools and experimenting with styles. When I first read the reviews about how this iron really makes the hair hold curls, I thought to my self - why? what makes it so different?I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know now that it is definitely true. The curls it creates are beautiful and they stay, period. I was worried at first that because the barrel is so skinny, the curls would be tight, but that is not the case. it actually makes larger sized curls. The curls are about the size you would get if you used a 1 inch regular barrel iron. My daughter's hair looks amazing when she uses this.It seems to be well made. We have had no problems with it at all. The purple color is so pretty and the price here at Amazon was great. Definitely a wise investment. I have paid way more than this for other irons and hair tools and they did not perform as well as this Herstyler. I am very impressed with it and definitely recommend it.UPDATE 2/26/13 - I just wanted to come back and say that I am completely amazed by this curling iron! My hair is long, down to my butt and layered. It is a little on the thin side and does not hold curl well at all. With regular curling irons, even the expensive professional ones, the curl would fall out before I was even done curling all of my hair and that's with using hairspray while curling and other hot tool styling aides.I was bored and having a bad hair day, so I had my 15 year old daughter do my hair with this Herstyler last night and I was absolutely amazed at how my hair turned out. The curls all stayed and I didn't even use any extra styling products. The only thing that was in my hair was some mousse from when I blowdried my hair early in the morning. I could not believe how wonderful my hair looked. When my husband came home from work and saw me, he did a double take and said "Wow!"Even with my hair being so long, she had my whole head done in about 20 minutes. I had her do a lot of smaller sections too, so that I had a lot of volume and fullness. I was amazed at how quick it was to get done.You only leave the hair on the wand for a second or two, literally. When she first started and I noticed the hair was coming off the wand almost immediately, I asked my daughter if she was sure she was leaving it on there long enough. She said, "Yes, Mom. Trust me." Well, she was right because every single strand she did held the curl perfectly. This is sooooo much faster than using a regular curling iron.I just woke up (the next day after she did my hair) and the curls are all still PERFECT. This is unbelievable. I am going to have my daughter do my hair more often with the Herstyler lol and wish I would have tried it sooner.Absolutely wonderful product and highly recommended!

Now I'm going to preface this by saying I have never curled my hair before with a wand or a curling iron. I have always been horrible at it unless I was using one like the automatic/instyler pro by conair one. But i was DETERMINED to get this look. So i did tiny parts of hair and used the glove the entire time because I'm terrified of burning myself and wanted to get a cheaper one in case I couldn't do it and never used it again. Instead though, it was soooo easy to get used to. This was my first attempt and i loveeddd how it came out. it stayed all day. It heats up very quickly. There isn't really any temp. control, just a switch, but the heat it was at was perfect. Each section curled in just seconds. The glove was a bit loose but it worked great and i didn't burn myself once for being a beginner. My one criticism is that there is no feature that tells you its working. Like no light to show it's heating. just the on switch and then you can feel the rod to see if it's heating, but I wasn't used to that. But honestly i didn't care. it was so cute, came with a glove and nice packaging, and worked awesome for a low price. I'd definitely recommend it!

I love this and had to write a review since I probably woulnd't have bought it without them. (i added a pic of how my hair turned out). I have long hair (just past the middle of my back), it's fine but there's a lot of it, and it doesn't hold curl well. The curls with this thing lasted days. I paid $41.About the unit: it is super light weight and heats up in <30 seconds. There is no indicator light. It has a swivel cord which i always like. It is 18mm tapered shaft (about the size of a dime at it's widest) and approx 8 inches long. this is the size that gives you the spirals like taylor swifts hair. the other size they have is called the 'grande' and it doesn't give the same look (but i also like it).Mine did come with a glove. The glove is probably large for most women, it fit me fine though (long hands). it may seem like a regular winter glove but it is not. while you won't be able to wrap your hand around the wand with it, it does have fibers that protect you from the burns you would receive otherwise. you'll still feel the heat though. use the glove, even if you have to restitch it to get it to fit.Usage: I found it easy and FAST. I didn't section my hair, i'm too impatient and I did random pieces rather than starting any particular place. What I recommend is starting AWAY from your face. Hold the wand a 2-3 inches from your scalp, then take a section of hair and start wrapping it around the base of the wand, going toward the narrow tip. After you wrap your hair around one time, you can pull hair a bit, like a string, to move the wand closer to your scalp (but do not rest it on your scalp). Another reason you don't need to get it too close is that as your winding you rotate your wrist (just like a regular curling iron) to curl that little section toward the base. If you have long hair like mine, might want to wrap a little loose, so you can keep schooching the hair down the shaft to fit it all. The curl takes approx 3-4 SECONDS to set, but I suppose this will vary a bit by hair type and how big the hair section is. I would say my sections were medium. As you get to the tip, you might find that your hair slips off, if this frustrates you, don't sweat it, once you've finished your hair you can go back and wind the very tips of your hair along the wand.Plenty of video demos on youtube of this type of styler.my whole head took me about 20 minutes, my arm didn't get tired because it was so light, and it was actually fun! i would definitely unplug this when done due to the lack of indicator light. watch getting knock off brands that don't heat up as well.i would definitely recommend this product!
