I am madly in love with this curling iron. Madly. In. Love.

First, let me tell you what this product is dealing with...... I have long, dry, thin, naturally frizzy hair. With the help of many high end hair products, such as frizz reducers and curl enhancers, I can half baked turn my frizz into loose curls, but it does not necessarily create a "style". So, I usually resort to either a curling iron to tame the beast, or a flat iron to annihilate it.

I was commenting at work to a friend of mine that I need to go in for a haircut, because it is getting more and more unruly. She recommended that I get the curl secret and she gave me the 10-second skinny on how awesome it is. She told me the price (around $100) and I took her even more seriously, because she has the income, but is not the type of person to spend money frivolously. If she was recommending and using a $100 curling apparatus, it was worth paying attention to. And... her hair always looks good, so that was another reason to perk up.

The short story is that I am very happy with the product. It creates these perfect, bouncy curls and for me, it also creates VOLUME. For the best results, you need to use small sections of hair. But once you are done, you can shake it out, run your fingers through and you have a full-on head of orderly curls.

It is easy to use once you get the hang of it. It does occasionally "jam" but it is often when I get cocky and start going to quickly and not brushing the knots out of my section of hair. When it happens, it is pretty easy to get your hair out of it, learn your lesson and start over on that small section.

I am famous for buying little appliances to make my life easier, and I have bought and gave away/filed away many. This one I have used almost daily and now my flat iron and regular barrelled curling iron is collecting dust for the time being. I am sure I will pull them out again, but I am having too much fun with my new Curl Secret.
