Love this brand for a hair tool that lasts and does what it’s supposed to. Upgraded my 1.5 inch iron for a more loose and trendy curl. My 1.5 inch curling iron is still perfectly good after about 9 years of use – and I curl my hair VERY frequently. The new wand works just as good. I find I get less damage from using the wand as opposed to a clamp style curler. There is NO heat control- on or off – but it always curls my hair without burning and my curls usually stay for a couple days. They fall out much faster with this 2” wand but my hair is very long and color treated – and I don’t pin or bonnet at nighttime. With the 2” I can usually get a day and a half in MI humid summer weather without having to touch up the curls.
