Super convenient that I got three for the price of one. It takes a bit to heat up (not that I really need it to be all that hot) and there isn't an on/off switch; which I actually like since I can just plug it in, do something else (like change my clothes or whatever) then come back to work on my hair. I have curly/wavy hair so holding a curl isn't a problem at all. All I need the iron to do is to smooth out my existing curls and to shape them better, the iron does just that.I've read a lot of bad reviews on this product. Usually, curling irons that work for people with straight hair never seem to work for my hair. So maybe this iron is the opposite of the usual. Maybe it just works better for wavy/curly type of hair.
