this review title is: so far so good and the content is: i have only used this to curl and have had some really good success i typically use a straightener but it would strain my wrist trying to twist it all around the twisted plates on this really help i got the technique down pretty easilyi did stars because i was hoping this would be quick and easy compared to a curling iron but the instructions specifically state to go slow and if you feel like you re going too slow go even slower in that case it s not going to be quicker like i hopedupdated to add the second picture showing day of curls works well to add some wavy texture the next day.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did purchase it and the other is 19 people think this review is helpful.
