Can’t compete against my thick straight hair [SEP] The curling iron gets really hot quickly and is long enough that it holds all of my hair easily. However, I have very straight, thick hair, and this curling iron (like all of the others I have tried) still doesn’t leave long lasting curls in my hair... most of them fall out before I’m even done curling all of my hair.<br /><br />I’m sure it’s a great curling iron and my hair is the exception but I was still a little disappointed based on all of the great reviews it got.
