out of do not recommend [SEP] i had a lot of hope for this curling iron because i love curling my hair but i am not the best at it so this looked like a great option unfortunately it fell far short of my hopes and dreamsthe hair clips into a little clip at the bottom of the barrel at first i thought it was genius then i used it i lost so much hair from that clip my hair kept hooking onto it and pulling the hair out and honestly it did not curl very well my hair is just past my shoulders i had to bring out my regular curling iron in order to fix the mess up that occurred because of this curling ironi will say that the fact that it turns automatically would be nice for someone with a disability or a difficult time moving but for the average person out of do not recommend
