horrible stench [SEP] i did not even get a chance to try this on my hair because as soon as i opened the little bag it comes in i was overwhelmed by a horrible stench of rotten fish i closed the bag held my nose and took the curler out and into another room hoping the smell was just from the bag nope the curler itself smelled like dead rotting ancient fish no way i was putting that anywhere near my hair it is possible the smell would have gone away if i aired this out for some time outside but i did not have the patience for that truly it stinks
