so I purchased this as I have been wanting one of these every since they came out. Now it does curl but not as much as I would like. My curling iron does a better job. Also my hair got caught in the barrel. So it took me a few tries to get my hair unstuck. Thankfully I did not have to cut my hair out if this. Now if you are a pro or a hairdresser you probably could do a way better job than I can. I personally think it’s hard to do by yourself. You should have someone else do it for you. That is if you’re like me and are low maintenance as everyone calls it.
