One of the best curling irons! [SEP] I received this gift for Christmas. I have course,curly and thick ethnic hair. This curling iron worked amazing! It took only 40 minutes (significantly less time than usual to style my hair) to curl my entire head. My hair when it is straightened is about 30-40 inches long. This curling iron got hot enough to curl my hair, I am still amazed. This curling iron was easy to use and I was able to choose between tight and loose curls. I highly recommend this product for all hair types!!! It is well worth the money. I am going to get rid of my other curling irons.
