Remington CI5338 Keratin Therapy Curling Wand, 1 1/2 Inches, Brown

Firstly, I should probably clarify that I naturally have type 2A/2B ("wurly") hair that holds curls really well without styling products or hairspray -- so I can't really comment on whether or not this works with straight hair, since I use this hair tool primarily to make my wavy/curly hair more uniform and polished. With that said, this is my favorite curling wand, and I absolutely love it. I own another 1" curling iron that's similar in design, however I loathed the clamp, which makes it difficult to work with. Fortunately, the elimination of the clamp in favor of the wand has made a huge difference in terms of handling. The good news is that it heats very quickly. The heat setting is adjusted via a dial -- which is extremely convenient -- but unfortunately doesn't include a digitized window or marker to let you know the exact temperature. This isn't really that big a deal because in the end there's only three temperatures: hot, really-fricking-hot, and everything in between. For me, the low to low-mid temperature does the job well. The handle isn't cumbersome, but it is large -- larger than the actual barrel, which is fairly large on it's own. I'm pretty certain that unless you have long hair, that this wand will not work out well for you (and that's only the 1" -- I can't imagine how difficult it would be to use the 1 1/2" on shorter lengths). So, if you have short or medium hair, then you might want to pass on this wand (though I do highly recommend Remington's "pearl" curling wand -- it's sleeker and more tapered and works excellently with shorter hair). In conclusion I really like the design -- which is better suited for longer lengths -- and that this wand heats quickly and includes multiple heat settings. I'm very pleased with the curls and waves the 1" barrel creates (side note: do not underestimate how big the barrel is!), which are beautiful and polished and lasting. It's an uncomplicated curling wand that's easy to handle (thank God for swivel cords) and I'm really pleased with the low price.

I absolutely love this curling wand. I almost returned it due to the temperature dial, but after a quick easy DIY, this babe is a keeper!!!! First off, the temperature dial IS indeed extremely annoying and confusing at first... HOWEVER, I spent about 5 mins and figured out a good way to use the dial to the best temperature for me. The dial will eventually stop turning at some point. The key to figuring out when the tool gets hotter is... the BLINKING HEAT LIGHT. This is really easy. You do this ONCE, and you're all good afterward. 1. For lowest setting, I turned the dial all the way down til it stops (you push the dial top to bottom). Then when once it stopped turning, i marked the very end of the dial with silver sharpie (or use nail polish). This is the lowest temperature setting, and this way i won't forget. 2. For highest heat setting, turn it reverse (you rotate the dial bottom to up motion) all the way. As I'm doing this, I could see the Heat light blinking, which confirms the iron is heating up and increasing the temperature setting! Eventually the light will stop blinking and the surface gets significantly hotter. It's at 400 degree. Then mark the dial with different colored sharpie or nail polish. The point of marking is that you remember which side is at 400degree hot or at lowest heat. So it's up to you if you mark it or not. Now, if you were to rotate the dial back to lower setting, the light won't blink, since the light blinking is only indication for 'increasing' temperature. 3. Lastly, you can kinda tell how many times it takes for you to rotate the dial to each end. For me it takes about 4-5 turns (top to bottom) to reach each end. So I know that if i turn it from either end about 2 times, it's about in-between temperature. You can mark these mid points too if you want. Whatever helps you remember. The box says it's up to 400 degree high and 30 settings, but I wish they'd just say what's the lowest temperature instead of this useless '30 settings'. You can test out your hair on it (test from low to higher) and find which area is your ideal setting. then mark that with different color. Generally, this curling wand gives me a very luscious, beautiful natural looking curl compared to regular clip curling iron that used to give me very fake-like curls. Also it only takes 1/3 of the time it used to take me with clip irons. My hair is thick, coarse, non-frizzy, and almost straight Asian hair. Waist-line long. Bleached Ombre.

I have a curling wand that I've been using for six years now, and have really appreciated the effect it gives. It's still working, but it wasn't as thick as the Remmington, and got narrower as it got closer to the end of the wand. I bought this to see if I would do better, and I am so happy I did. I love the thickness- it doesn't give a curl per se, it's more of a light wave and bounce-- sort of like what you'd expect from rollers. In less than ten minutes, with this I'm achieving that blow dry bar look, which is great for my very straight and limp hair. I'm thrilled that I can do so much in such little time-- in the past, to get a look I don't like as much, it's taken me closer to 30-35 minutes. If you're looking for more of a tight curl, I'm not sure this is the one for you- although I'm sure you could get a little more than a wave if you wrap your hair tighter and closer. Personally, I love the beachy soft wave look, and this captures it perfectly. So happy I got this.

I have been trying to curl my hair with so many other wands, but this particular iron wand is great. It defines my curl properly and the curls last for more than a week. I love this product

Curler works wonderfully and I have thick hair! I had a concern about the on/off button but they got back to me right away. Brain fart... you have to hold it!! Great product :)

Use this at least once a week, i love it for big curls that hold!
