Hot Rod

And now another update in my never ending battle to achieve the perfect mermaid hair.

I was on amazon the other night getting some hair maintenance essentials (yes, I got my heat protectant as well... athankyou) and I came across a $200 clipless curling iron marked down to an unmentionable price (even lower right now... grr). Add that to free shipping and heat glove included? Needless to say, I jumped on the deal.

I will tell you know that I just had the best hair day of my life. I had learned a while back about the technique of simply wrapping your hair around the barrel of your curling iron, versus the usual method of clamping and twirling, to get more natural looking curls/waves. Sometimes it would work perfectly, other times there would be funny little bumps. With the curling wand, all the guess work is gone and in my first try I had flawless curls. I actually had to finger comb them out a bit to relax them! Definitely recommend.

The product it's self was awesome. I had one reservation since it had no heat control, just an on off switch. After using it, I saw no issues with the heat. It warmed up quickly and certainly delivered results. The glove worked well protecting fingers against the hot iron, but I would not recommend touching the iron for long periods of time, as you can still feel the heat through the material. No slip issues using the glove either.

Alls I can say is, if your hair is anything like mine (thin, straight, limp) then this tool is your Salvaion.

Jose Eber Curling Iron, Pink, 25mm

P.S. I am writing this post the morning after my first use, and my curls are still intact. Not day 1 curls, but totally wearable, dare I say... beachy waves. Love this tool!
