so far so good [SEP] 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
