perfect for travel only one heat setting long cord [SEP] i ordered this for when i am traveling and it is perfect for that this does take longer to use than my full size waver but the size makes this easier to pack and it does not take up too much counter spacethe curler only has heat setting and that is that is the temperature i always use on my straightener so i am fine with not being able to adjust it it heats up very quickly in about secondsyou use this like a crimper by taking about a inch section of hair and clamping from the top to the bottom you cannot pull this straight through your hair or it will just straighten it
