Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

True story: I have bought and returned approximately 6 different 1.25" curling wands. I bought cheap ones, expensive ones, ceramic ones, metal ones. None of them were great and I returned them all. My hair is very long and fine and hard to curl. I bought this one on a whim, it was so cheap and the right size. I didnt want the clamp, since I have a hard time not getting crimp marks on my hair with the clamps and they make it hard to curl in the right direction sometimes (if that makes sense) but I was limited with options in the clipless wand department so I bought this one. First of all it gets very hot and seems to create a much better curl than the other models I tried. Some people mentioned that the temp dial is placed in a way that its hard not to move it while using the wand -which is true- but here is my genius hack: use a piece of medical tape to affix the temperature wheel where you want it and you're good. My even more genius hack is this: I used a screwdriver and removed the clip from the wand. I pulled the spring out that makes the clip open and close very easily and voila it is a wand with no clip to make crimps in my hair. Everything I wanted all along for under $17 plus medical tape and 1.5 minutes of manual labor. Yay!
