Can this be used as a curling iron as well? Does the outside get hot so you can wrap the hair and curl it?

I am not able to use it to curl my hair. To some extent, you can use it to flip the ends but the outside really does not get very hot so it would not work well for curling. It does however work very well at straightening and smoothing and heats up almost immediately which is great when you are in a rush. I use different tools for different styles but if you want one tool that will work for both straightening and curling, I have seen straighteners specifically designed for both styles. Conair makes a 2-in-1 product for about $35 but I have not tried it. I know there are others available as well. Hope this helps! I am not able to use it to curl my hair.

The outside does not get hot, but my daughter says you can still curl your hair with it

The outside does not get hot. I think you can put a little bend or curve on the ends while smoothing the hair, but not curl with it.

Honestly it was too much heat to apply to my real hair. I only used it on my weave when I had a sew in. It can get really hot & I couldn't risk damaging my hair.

you might be able to. The hair is heat resistant. Some of the curls came out and I re-curled them and it worked fine. The hair is so heavy that eventually they kinda of straighten out into waves

You can create some curls or waves with this flat iron, but it would be a slight rather than tight, depending on how you work it. The great thing about this flat iron is that the long handle and plates doesn't cramp my hand. You can adjust the temperature to suit your hair needs. It also has a handy sheath as you can store it while it's still cooling and not worry about melting anything nearby.

It would be a bit difficult to create curls, as this is a flat iro, but I guess you could , with enough skill you can turn it so and create curls. Still, I wouldn't buy it for that purpose. It's not too hot.

I just asked my niece and Yes you can but don't put curling iron next to the head because it can melt.

It is a gel so you might be able to pull off some waves, but I do not think you would be able to get curls. I would go on YouTube to get an idea of the hair types on the people that use it.

The flat iron can be used to curl hair, however, the purchase that I did with my seller did not meet my expectations, for starters, it said that it was professional, and the cable was thin and fragile. Additionally, in the first two weeks of use, the white coating chipped. Other irons leave your hair shiny and sealed, this is not the case with this. Be cautious with your purchase.

I don't know but it has a wide range. My hair is difficult to curl so I keep it on the hottest setting. I grab a hunk of hair, flat iron it, then use a roller. My hair gets so hot I practically burn my fingers sometimes and I'm forced to drop the hair, so I think it would be hot enough. Hope the info helps.

It's just the typical doll hair (similar to a Barbie doll, I guess). I haven't tried curling it but I don't think it would hold a curl without using a product (craft stiffen spray or hair spray, maybe) to hold the curl. I'd be leery of applying heat to it. Sorry this isn't more helpful.

I have had this flat iron for several months and have had no problems with the handle getting hot. I am not sure much curls you are wanting but I have short hair (down to my jaw line) and it does a real nice job flipping my hair under. I haven't tried any curls before just a quick flip of the ends.

It heats up pretty fast....It works well for me. I would recommend this curling iron. Also it doesn't get too hot, where you have to worry about burning yourself.....Some of the newer irons are dangerously hot, that's just my opinion.

Yes. I curl it on it's own (not in my hair) on a lower setting than I would use for my real hair. Then I spray it with hairspray before it cools. It will hold the curl no problem.

The curling iron gets quite hot. I keep it at work to fix a few curls if needed. I could not use it for my whole head of hair - like you I have a lot of hair and this curling iron is small and doesn't grab the hair that well.

I was able to use my curling wand with no problem, although I am not sure of the tempurature that it goes up to cause it only has an on and off switch. I have shoulder length hair, but I had only brought mine to use with the intention of adding lenght to braid my hair. I am mixed but I have rather thin hair so it gives me a little thickness without being too much or not enough. It is not just one track it is at least nine or more I believe and the thickness is even from the weft to the ends of the hair...hope this helps!

It wouldn't be best. It's not real hair and if u put heat to it the hair will feel weird and it doesn't hold curls well. I'd suggest real human hair
