CHI Spin N Curl, Curling Iron For Healthy & Shiny Effortless Curls & Waves, Provides Preset Temperature Settings For Each Hair Texture, Mint Green

I have extremely thick hair. If I were to curl my hair with a regular wand, it could easily take me 30 minutes or so. With this curler, it’s done in about 10 minutes. I’m also not very great at doing my hair, but this has made it so so so easy. My hair always looks fantastic after using it.You can make tighter or looser curls depending on how you section your hair. I’ve had zero issues with it getting tangled or caught in the curler. Brush hair first, don’t overload the barrel with a lot of hair at once. And it comes with a brush to keep the inside of the barrel clean. It has very clear instructions of how to use and keep it clean.This hair tool is totally worth the price in my opinion. I wish I would have bought it sooner.

I was skeptical at first until I read the directions put it in my hair and it did an awesome job. It was very easy. I made a nice curl. Make sure you use a thermal heat protector because it does get hot and make sure you put hairspray or a light mist at least to keep the curls in place before you brush it. I did my whole head in less than 10 minutes. I had seen this many times and said it’s too hard or confusing or doesn’t work but to my surprise it actually is an awesome invention. Chi it’s always a great brand to buy.

Pro:* safe...the case sets against your head between the hot barrel to prevent burns* gives a nice sausage/barrel curl* heats up super fast* has a long cord so you can easily position yourself to see what you are doing* easy to use with just a minimal learning curve* price is okCon: I really dislike the location of the buttons to control the barrel spin. Very inconvenient.I have long hair. Past the bra strap. If you have long hair you need to manage the amount of hair you try to curl at one time. Use smaller sections or you will get an error because it is just too much for the barrel.This doesnt necessarily save you time. As you get more experienced with it that might be the case. But not when you are new to it. Where it has been handy for me is the back of my head. Yikes, when you are trying to roll 22" hair. This helped.You need to take a small section of hair, lay it across the top, make sure the hair is smooth and you set it down so the tail of the hair is parallel to the tool and lays gently downward before pressing the spin button. If you don't, you may end up with a fahoofled mess and need to start it over. You don't need to slide the hair into the barrel. You can lay it across the U shaped part in the center. Just be sure to position the rest of the strand the way I described earlier. Tangles don't really matter. The spinning stops and it angrily beeps at you and you simply slide the hair out of the chamber. There is nothing to tangle into the hair and catch it.If you want to leave your hair wrapped longer than the beep alert you can. It is just a convenient counter alert for you.This gives a final result of a beachy wave curl after you fuss with the finished barrel curls. Your final result will be determined by your curling products and style. I would say a curl setting product would be helpful. Quick heat set curls don't have the best staying power like a wet overnight set would.My overall opinion is that it is handy and does a decent job. For most people it probably isn't faster than a curling iron. It does help if you are trying to get a barrel wrap instead of a flat wrap and struggle with it. It is also nice for getting the back of the head if you have long hair.I am sure over time the creative souls will find lots of tricks and tips for interesting ways to style with it.

Love the size and the curling time. The auto shut off is nice and durability is great! No smell and hair comes out shiny and well curled

I have struggled to learn how to use a curling iron forever. I recently got extensions and always wanted to wear my hair curly, but wiuld constantly "crimp" the piece of hair with the curling iron clip. This product is a game changer. It was so easy to use and provides the curling you want. So happy with this purchase, 100% worth it. You can adjust the heating level and type of curling you want. It takes a bit of getting used to at first, but so easy to work with and get a feel for it. There was no burning smell and it felt like I wasn't damaging my hair. Highly recommend!

This is so easy to use. I’ve owned it for more than a year and I bought it when I was planning to travel to Vegas for a wedding. I received a lot of compliments on my hair and I was able to curled it quickly and not damage my hair or burn myself. It had different temperature settings, a timer and an alarm if hair gets caught up the wrong way. You can also change the direction the barrel spins to add volume to the curls. I have medium length, fine hair and am finish with my curls in about 10 minutes.
