Remington CI96W1 Silk conical curling iron (Personal Care)

Customer Review

As longhair wearer I have in the last 30 years tried oodles of curling irons and even have thereby emerged certain preferences for certain manufacturers and techniques, I still try and every now and again like new devices.
The reviewed here Remington device with conical, ceramic-heater comes with a stylish red-black design.
It has a pleasant weight is processed properly and fits comfortably in your hand.
Practically, the three meters with approx extremely generous cable. To 360 ° swivel cord and a set-up, which ensures that the heating element when storing the device is not directly on the pad
A Aufbewahrungsbeutelchen and protective gloves are included.
However, since this is quite thin and has no coating, I do not want to try out how well this when more than brief accidental contact with the heater actually protects prefer.
Commissioning is simple, Switch on and in fleets for about 30 seconds (at minimum level of 120 °) we can start.

The operating temperature can be adjusted depending on the type of hair between 120 ° and 220 °, with an easy to read digital display shows the temperature and a caps lock key prevents accidental changes of temperature during use.
The special thing about the device is that the hair is wound not from the top, but its approach to the heating element.
For this purpose the wide end of the cone-shaped heating element is held at the hairline (or there, from where you want to attract the hair) and then wraps to a streak down to the hair ends to the device.
This "other way around-Wrap" has the disadvantage that the extreme ends can not wrap quite as strong as the rest, because you have the hair so stick somewhere and should present at up to 220 ° hot device the heater touch if possible not ,
The locks that are otherwise quite nice and shiny, have therefore in the tips not quite as much elasticity as in the devices in which the help of a clip you reaches the hair ends and the hair then winds to approach towards, with even and especially Tighten the tops so much nicer and more effectively to the heating element around.
In addition a here something greater risk of burns, in the front area of ​​the head, you can still work nicely with the device, but behind the ears and at the back, where one happens to have no eyes, contains the procedure, the device with one hand possible closely in bringing on the hairline and hair virtually "blind" turn up with the other, but a significantly greater risk of accidentally come to the heater than with the devices where the rear strands to get first to the front and then from the tip can wind her.
Of course you have at easily heated such devices always be cautious and can not blame the device's own carelessness, but the fact is that the Aufwickeltechnik of the hair tips her just there less risk of burns, especially when working in the occipital region, offers and in addition to a more beautiful clamping force of curls in the hair tips leads.

Conclusion: The device does what it is intended, makes shiny and pretty durable curls and appears to be properly processed. Nevertheless, I prefer personally devices where you wound up hair using a clip from the tips of her, both from curls result as well as the ease and from a security perspective and will remain true to this.
