First, the external:
The package is not very big, which has the advantage that it fits perfectly in my closet, but this is now not sure that selling point for other customers. :)
Nevertheless, from the outside makes the device a good impression.
The lid closes tightly law and curlers sitting well on the heating elements. Small drawback: The heater is quite warm outside and the power cord could be a ticking longer for my taste. Nothing tragic, but noticed it's still me.
The curlers are very pleasant in terms of weight, the velvet and the size I think that's great. The only thing I eyed a little suspicious, the plastic clips that accompany because I assumed that they would hold the weight of the curlers barely.
Now for handling:
This requires a little practice. I have never before used curlers and have really ever used the first time until I finally had the winder completely in it. It is nice that you can leave the device as long plugged until you finish, including the last curler was still perfectly warm until I finally was.
It is also good that the curlers have a cold end, you can touch. I myself have taken not big on in my curls euphoria and have also often angegrabscht the hot side, but more than a wince on my part is not happening.
The second wrapping it went a bit faster after I had learned that I just have to take less hair. If the strands of hair that is too thick, the curlers find no good footing and slide. Whether one should now ascribe to the winders or slide on poor, first-time use, everyone can decide for yourself :)
The third wrap the whole thing ran into turbo speed and winding problems gabs no more.
After turning up the curler, you can choose between the supplied pin and also enclosed plastic clip to fix the strand. I tend more to the plastic clips as it in my opinion which is faster. Rolling, clip Clip the - done.
At first I was, as I said above, a little suspicious if this bit of plastic could hold as much clamp, role and hair. Well, it's - if not perfect. The clamp must be slightly slanted mounted from below, it holds quite well for me, but after a while I realize nevertheless that it slips easily.
This should have been able to solve so better.
Nevertheless, there are also here a solution: Take either clips and pushpins simultaneously or wraps you after racing a lightweight, large cloth or net around the head, and bind them firmly loose. Otherwise the have handled our grandmothers and lo and behold - so it works just fine.
Bottom line:
The end result, I was thrilled. I did not want a lion-like bulk wave as it was in the 80/90 years so "in", but beautiful, soft curls 50s - became and are there clearly.
Even the first time that I have more bad than good hinbekommen winding the hair was great. A little uneven perhaps, but since the curler can not help it. Practice After the third time, the locks were but just the way I wanted them. It is important that the curlers are actually taken out only if the hair COMPLETE are cold. (Even a little is still lukewarm to warm!) Then turn out the curlers and do not pull!
As fixation I have sprayed some hairspray, other fixatives such as foam or gel I did not need. The hairstyle lasts me at least 8 hours, longer I have not tried it yet. The next morning the hair dream has been attracted, but that was expected.
My Conclusion:
In value compared these curlers cut off very well!
One point deduction is available for various little things (like parentheses, something short power cord, etc) which can be easily managed with a little creativity from the world but.
The important thing is to be practiced in order to cope with curlers a little! The first try you should not expect miracles, eventually those tools work mainly by using the handling by their users.
Myself curlers have very convincing and the hours of hours of hairdressing with curling iron are definitely over.
As little info yet:
I have heavy, thick hair, the rich just over his shoulder and I need not necessarily all curlers in the set. Although I've been using all, but would also two less.
