simple to use and lightweight for travel [SEP] i just came back from a trip and packed this curling iron in my luggage it is described as travel but the length is about the same as other curling irons the main difference is the weight it is so light and functions as both a straightener and curler so it does save space in my luggage it works very well i had never heard of this brand before but the curler works just as well as more expensive brands to change from a curler to a straightener you simply press the buttons s for straightener or c for curling so simple and easy to use
