Customer Review

I chose this particular curling iron for these reasons:

- it was dual-voltage (110-220V). That excluded most everything else.

- it was clipless. (Not long ago I bought my first clip iron, the cheap Revlon Ceramic Curling Iron - 1.5''. My intention was to "test-drive it" and find out what I liked and disliked about it, as to be better informed on what to look for in a more expensive one. I knew right off the bat that I hated the clip; not only I found difficult to slide my hair through it (the amount of friction and resistance didn't seem right), it left ugly creases on my hair. Maybe there is a better technique that will leave your hair smooth all over, but I didn't intuitively find it.)

- the brand. (I was not exactly familiar with Jose Eber, but the brand in general seems to have really good reviews and seen as a good one with quality items.)

- the barrel size. (I knew that my 1.5" by Revlon was way too thick. I trusted the review by "MDLC", who wrote that 19" was the perfect barrel size. (Thank you! It really is!)

- the price. (Nothing about this item suggests that it only cost , including shipping. The quality, the fancy box it came in, the gloves included... did I mention the quality? It's easily worth thrice as much. Funny, my cheap test iron wound up costing only a bit less than my definitive one.)

- pink handle, anyone? (Cute!)

So far I've only used it once, but it was a GREAT first impression. While using the Revlon iron was very difficult, and the resulting curls were quite flat, this one was a dream! Grab a chunk of hair, wrap it around the barrel, hold it a few seconds... and voila, tight beautiful curl! Very easy and fun to do. I haven't experimented yet, but I'm sure you can use anywhere from thin strands of hair for a spiral look, to thick chunks for looser waves. And of course, whenever a curl comes too tight for your taste, smooth it a couple of times with your hand and it's softer.

One thing I learnt fast: DO NOT use the iron without the glove on!!! Even being careful, I got burnt very easily - but hey, one look at the naked barrel and that's to be expected. I'm just hoping never to burn my wrist (that looks very likely) but we shall see.

There is no temperature adjustment, the only option is "very hot", so if you have fragile thin hair, keep that in mind... It's no problem for me.

Highly recommended!
