In advertising, it looks very easy .... I could straighten my hair quite ut. ..I have longer hair and natural curls. .es but takes some practice! The super great waves but I can not reach because of the handle for me is awkward. To the desired curls or waves would have to get the handle to be round. .. My pony is rather short I'm not at all hinbekommen they stood far off and there was simply no form or Locke as advertised came about. ... So to flatten it is quite good but curls or waves, it takes a lot of patience and time .....
