You really have to have long hair and docile to the loop is pretty. On me the loops do not take nothing helps I have a ripple wave ... I'm not saying that the product is zero but I do not like it did not meet my expectations. Unlike the curlsecret babyliss is much more expensive, it looks like a poodle the first 10 minutes but after defeating the tight curls with her fingers I have nice big loops to the US Debutantes abstain otherwise risk big disappointment!
