This looper was tested by my daughter (14), who has long hair and like all girls her age love curlers, straighteners etc ... She is thrilled and found that in contrast to those that it has the natural Looper Easy Curl Philips is really easy to use (no risk of error as the temperature is preset) The easy handling and the result is ultra natural and holds up well! The heating plates are well protected (no risk of burning) The cord is rotatable which avoids the tangled during use and it has a little more beautiful color and a handy carrying case because my daughter leaving the more !!!
