My Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron arrived yesterday giving me a chance to test it out for a couple of days so here is my review. I have to say this is the best curling iron I have ever tried! let me give you some product stats before talking about my results. This new model curling iron has one inch (25mm) barrel which is the second smallest barrel model,there are two more models that make larger curls and waves. It has a light purple color handle with gold tourmaline barrel and a pull out gold stand to protect your counter surface from the heat. It has a side dial for 30 different heat settings so you can custom heat according to your hair type. So say you have hard to curl straight hair you can turn up the dial 21 to 30 or if your hair is curly and thin stay within the 1 to 5 range.The unit also features an auto shut off and dual voltage so you can travel with it internationally. This curler heats up fast,within 30 seconds and the best part is that the heat flows evenly until you shut it off. Meaning that the curling iron is at it's optimum heat from beginning to end so whether you want to take your sweet time styling your hair you'll always have the unit ready without loss of heat. Included in the package you also get a nifty black storage case that you slip on over the barrel to protect any surfaces from damage or to use when you store/travel the iron. Tourmaline Ceramic Technology allows infrared heat to penetrate follicles reducing hair stress for less damage,smoother looks,less frizz,less static and no damaging hot spots. The handles is almost 2 feet in length but allows for a very comfortable grip when you style your hair. You can get curls and waves by placing hair under the spoon or create flips by placing hair over the spoon. The spoon is that top part of the lever mechanism which holds the hair. Each curl only requires a 15 to 30 second hold under the iron to create. Lastly you have a 24 month limited warranty. You have a 2 year peace of mind if the unit needs fixing or replacing. We all know Tourmaline dryers and styling tools can cost anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on the salon brand. This curling iron has that same technology, a modern fun design and a two year warranty for a ridiculous price! Plus one time only free shipping on the site. Skip the fancy brands and grab one of these before there gone! $18.99 Are you kidding me! Loves it! As for my results with: It heats up super fast with a red blinking indicator light. The light stops blinking after 30 seconds when the unit is ready to be used. The dial setting of choice for me was 5 because my hair is naturally curly and fine. It was so easy to grip and curl at a vertical angle with only 30 seconds on hold releasing my hair to absolutely perfect curls. The curls were soft,shiny and smoothed out with no dry frizz, almost better than my own natural curls. Someone wanted to know how long the curls last so I'm happy to say they held up all day and night. Even though my natural hair is curly I did use a curl cream on my damp hair then air dried my hair without a blow dryer and after the curls were set hair spray was applied. My choice of products were MoroccanOil Curl Cream & Victoria's Secret Hair Spray. Believe it or not that hair spray is perfect for my hair type and it smells awesome! I'll be doing a review on it soon. You should definitely use a smoothing or curling hair serum to help maintain the curls especially if you have really straight hair then set with hair spray allowing your style to last all day. The tricky part is sectioning your hair and doing each section with the curler. You can use hair styling clips and pins to hold each hair section in place until your ready to curl it. If you can get someone to help you you'll save some time but it's not hard to do on your own. I'm gonna post some curling tutorials to help everyone out soon. Hey if I can do my own hair, which I suck at by the way, then anyone can! This one inch barrel is the best size because the curls are not too tight and not too loose. But you can adjust the curl size by grabbing less or more hair. You also get perfect model beach waves with this unit. I don't get excited about hair products or styling gadgets that often but this is a plus in performance and value. You must grab one for yourself. I'm off to register my unit for that 24 month warranty. Stay beautiful! XOXO
