Although the device looks a bit clunky by the large plates, it's amazingly light and is great in the hand.
The end of the handle and the upper end of the plates are marked on each side by a corrugated surface. So you can feel during the benefit, where the handle ends and the plates, which of course are very hot with the time also at the back start.
Therefore: No risk of burns!
30 seconds as the heating, as described in the brief instructions, get there in about. The on / off button flashes until the desired temperature is reached. This can be between 150 ° C and 210 ° C. The cable is long enough and through the screw thread can work great with the curling iron.
Unlike a conventional flat iron or a conical curling iron, you have to press this curling iron only on a severed strand of hair, hold a few seconds and then start a little lower again, until the entire strand of hair falls in waves. You have this curling iron so do not drag, roll or wrap the hair around it complicated by the hair.
The time is therefore in my opinion significantly lower.
With practice, the result looks great and very natural. Again: The thinner the lock of hair, the more defined are the waves. I have very fine and straight hair and also so that curling iron is super clear. The hairs do not slip easily between the plates out again.
That Remington German specification the word "curling iron" are, perhaps a bit misleading, because curls you can not do with this device. Only waves that can be more or less defined.
The term "wave bar" would, however, also a bit stupid sound ;-)
A small gripe I have found: Unfortunately there is no lock function for the plates. You have to squeeze the whole time about myself this so that it will eventually exhausting. A small switch on the handle, which one could easily slide back and forth to lock the plates, if it were really helpful! Even when turned off, so you could ship your unit better in your suitcase.
Furthermore, no bag or case to hold lies.
Otherwise, the Remington S6280 curler stylist Perfect Waves is super helpful to conjure up a veritable wave splendor quickly and easily.
