Waste of money [SEP] Thoroughly confused by the high ratings and pissed my mom bought this for me off my Wish List for my bday and I likely can't return it.<br /><br />All this does is rip your hair out as you kink, not curl or put waves, in your hair. It kinks. And the little brush bristle things do not help smooth your hair out even if you just want to straighten it-- which it sucks at too, it just rips strands out and creates frizz. It hurts to use and you can hear it ripping your hair out.<br /><br />There is no smoothing affect. The instructions it comes with are deceptively simple-- I did exactly as it said and it did nothing but ruin my hair for the day. The videos on YouTube are also deceptively simple. This DOES NOT create curls or waves.
