I am a first time user of a curling rod like this, I have long straight hair. Is this a good product to start with ?

i have long long straight hair too! it definitely works in terms of curling irons because it gets really hot! but u definitely have to hair spray a lot too if you have pin straight hair like me. one downside is tht when u curl ur hair on it, the hair slides a lot because the wand is slippery :/ also since it gets really hot and u have to hold the tip of ur hair close to the wand it can get really hot. make sure u use the glove!

It really depends on the thickness of your hair. The bottom of the barrel is thicker then the top . My hair is short and this barrel thickness works great. But if you have longer and thicker hair may want to consider getting a thicker barrel because the ttip of this barrel is probably half of an inch in diameter. I hope this information helps you in your decision-making.

YES....You WILL love it....It was my 1st time using one of these also. You can make your curls tight or lose depends on where you place it on the wand. My hair is very straight & curls wouldn't stay in my hair no matter what. With this wand, the curls look the same at the end of the day, even the next day after sleeping on curls, all I have to do is touch them up a little. It's also a lot faster to use than any other iron. Let me know how you like it after you purchase...Cristy Hannah/Alabama

I guess it will depend if you have thin or thick hair. Some hair types don't take to curling irons or product. I have thick hair. What I usually do is straighten my long, naturally wavy hair before using this so I just have some waves at the bottom but a slick look at the top. It is perfect for that. So if you have straight hair and you don't find it hard to style, you will love this. The different temps also help depending on how stubborn your hair can be.With that said, I never had a curling iron like this before. I had the standard type in the past. I started using the glove that comes with it, but when I got used to it more, I didn't need it and it's second nature now to use it. :) Hope this helps!

Because my hair is so straight & hard to curl, I never thought these kinds of products would work for me. It works great and if you need more rollers for a lot of hair, I do the front first, then reheat & do the back. 20 minutes or less.

I personally never curled with it only straightened- but my roommate has a similar styler and she says it curls well but she also did not like the floating plates. But if you do then it should work well.

I really like the perm. I think with that extra long hair you should have three bottles. My hair is medium length and one bottle was about right for me. But you want to be sure you get all of your hair saturated. Be sure you have plenty of perm wave rods and take very small sections for each curler so that all of the hair is thoroughly wet it by the solution. I know you will love your new permanent

Yes this is a good product for you, its a little heavy but you can dilute it with a small amount of water when you apply it to your hair. You can also try the other curl defying cream that they sell. Also Deva Curl is really amazing for your type of hair. I live by that brand and Moroccan Oil. Hope I could help

The ponytail is straight, and I have never tried curling it. Looks a little delicate for that...

I use a different straightener and works very well...this product is so good, takes me Ralf the time for straight my hair... and feels so smooth and looks really shine... I love it's... I have really curly hair, but this product works so good. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT...

This product is meant for naturally curly hair, it works to tame the frizz that comes with having curly hair. If you have any kind of wave it will help, but if your hair is very straight you may not get the results you're hoping for. I would search on YouTube for different ways to get great curls when you have straight hair, they have a ton of tips that are helpful for any type of hair style you may be looking for. Good luck!!

Yes I now have shoulder length layered hair and it still does a great job. The vintage curls it can give look great any length. I'd you want tighter curls you just pin them up till they cool down. But I normally just curl and go at this length.

Ya it should work good for short hair. It's definitely hot enough for adding curl and shape and it's not bulky at all, it's actually the perfect size and it's really light weight which I love. My only complete is it could be just a tad hotter so it could dry my hair quicker. My other Babyliss pro got alittle hotter than this one. I do love it though. Hope this was helpful for you.

As my hair is a fine texture, this is all I have experienced. I certainly can't see that it wouldn't work on medium to thick hair. Maybe you would use a slightly higher heat setting, but not completely sure about that. Still start on low setting and work up, if necessary. I feel sure this would work on all types of hair. Also, in my experience, it is hard to find a 1/2 in. curling iron. I have short hair so did not need any larger curling iron. Your length of hair might also determine what size barrel curling iron you need, if that is in question. It really curls, it is not wimpy.

It kind of was for me! I have really long, straight hair that won't hold a curl unless I sleep in French braids which isn't really a curl... This gets up to 410'f which is much hotter than a curling iron.I used this wand and a little bit of Aussie hairspray and it last for hours! And I would also consider my hair "uncurl able"

It is! Works wonders for it, and actually holds the curl! If you have very thick hair, and lots of it, I'd recommend the slightly larger barrel - like the 1 or 1.5 inch wand. I can't say enough good things about this. Herstyler brand is amazing and a total game changer!

Amy: One more thing!! Make sure you use a setting spray or a light hairspray to keep your set. You know us girls with long hair have to use few extra tricks. When I first purchased my set of curlers by the way, my hair was much longer than it is now. It was 8 inches past my bra strap. I've since had it cut. :) Good Luck..

It's like a leave in conditioner, not to give curl. More like to calm hair and give it shine and smoothness. My hair still holds curl very well after using this product as well a stays straight if I straighten it. To me it offers balance to hair for a good beginning to styling it. Makes my hair look and feel healthy.

I have very fine hair also and would not recommend any electric rollers to be used on wet hair. You should let your hair dry naturally and then put the rollers in not too hot and do not leave on for a long time. I also believe that curling irons are worse on your hair. I am not a professional hair stylist or professional, but have live with fine fair my entire life. I find that this electric roller set works pretty well so long as you stay away from shampooing your hair too often and using a blow dryer. I did that for years, have stopped doing it and my hair is much healthier. I would also recommend looking at all the Eufora hair products, Amazon sells them for a very good price.

I think you should dry hair before using this iron brush. If hair is wet, you cannot make perfect curls. Moreover, if you want to straighten your curly hair, this iron brush is not good choice. It's hard to make straight hair with this product.
