I do not understand the bad reviews / suitable only for long hair!

Here complain quite a few that supposedly the hair is not held by the clamp and you do not get it curls. I do not know what some of the equipment promise, because a curling iron with this immense diameter is of course no miracle at straight hair without causing hair products like curling spray / hairspray / mousse and certainly not with short and / or very fine hair. This curling iron should be used for short hair for no more than rough waves with smoothing effect, it is indeed primarily for long hair.

The reason is quite simple: short hair you can barely wrap the curling iron, no more than 2 turns, but its diameter is simply too wide. By contrast, long hair (my hair goes to the Po, it is very long) you can wrap the curling iron in large strands in several revolutions and for that it is perfect. Long Hair otherwise you get only in very thin strands wound on the standard curling irons, which is extremely time-consuming.

And I stress again: the curls hang naturally also relatively quickly out, especially with very long hair, because it heavily hangs down when using any additional hair products. Give the curling iron not rashly blame, pays attention to the structure of your hair, "yes smoother and finer, the faster the hair hangs again. Try mousse to give into towel-dried hair, thus changes the hair structure and especially not forget to use a heat Spray just so you can get the curls for a while. In addition, you can briefly absorb the curls in his hand and let it cool a few seconds or fix the curl with a bobby pin and let it cool down so that also prolongs the shelf life.

The only minus point is the wheel to adjust the temperature. You never know how high you set the temperature and have to do it by feel, because too much heat damages the hair.

Since I've been looking for so a curling iron with my hair very long and the price-performance ratio find quite very reasonable with 20, I forgive 5 Stars.
