Actually, I first bought a curling iron for larger curls, because I was afraid to get so little else Kringellöckchen. That had but did not work out with my hair.
I would like to say that these are my subjective experiences and impressions and I hope maybe one or the other to give with my description a decision aid.
First, I describe times my hair: I have medium blond hair with blond streaks, it is fine, thin hair and goes to about 5cm over his shoulders - so long hair. (From head to the tips about 40cm long.)
With the handling I get very good, although I'm newbie. One must at the end of the bar a bit careful not to burn yourself, but with a little practice, no problem.
The only slight drawback for me is that the terminal, with which you can clamp the strand, the front end does not hold so well. So you put a small streak, sometimes you have to try several times, until it stops. This is but for me no deduction.
I've done without curls styling products and with different degrees of heat
Already over medium heat I get super curls out.
At first I thought that my curls almost a bit too much, but after I was done with the whole head I let the curls to cool slightly and then I easily went everywhere with his fingers through. This I have the curls again elicits a bit ". So had the curls just for me the right size (not tiny curls.) After that, I fixed upside down everything with hairspray.
This look has kept the rest of the day - so about 6-7 hours. The next day were still curls to see but of course pretty flat situated ".
After that I once used a moderate mousse. In other words, mousse applied to dry hair (of course I use still a heat protection spray!) And then made curls. At the end of nice again with hairspray over it. This look has kept with me all day.
Thus was my conclusion: super curling iron! So 5 star !!
New Tip (01.08.2011): after I already several months I can use the curl bar even give a hint for prolonged curl retention. After washing hair I dry the hair with a normal hairdryer. Then I make the whole hair strongly preserved hair mousse and dry the hair back with a hair dryer. Only after I use the curling iron and turn a curling. Then I pull the hair so the curl bar that they virtually have a "role" are - so even merged and put this firmly with a bobby pin at the top. Say the curls hanging down special not cool off in the screwed-in form at the top. Only after approximately 1 hour (or overnight there be) Haarklammern rausmachen. Then all curls vigorously Spray with hairspray and then loosen curls slightly with your fingers and put into the desired shape. This keeps me then 2 days and also on Day 2 I have beautiful curls (naturally not as strong as on day 1).
