Because of its cone shape it was hard for my hair to stay wrapped around the barrel, it would just fall to the tip and get messed up therefore it was hard to use. I have fine hair so maybe thats why it didnt work for me. I did get some nice loose waves however but because my hair didnt wrap around the barrel properly alot of hair was left messed up and tangled. Im going to try a straight curling wand next 1" by amika or sultra bombshell. I do like that this has temp control and is very light. I think it would work well for thick hair that can actually stay wrapped around the barrel.

I have very thick wavy/curly hair and now that it is very long, I sometimes want a more pronounced wave/curl that I style in what I call the Victoria Secret look, LOL. I have tried other clipless curling wands such as Conair Infiniti (works in creating curl, but curls turn limpy, the Bombshell (I was excited to purchase this at Sephora after reading the reviews, but unfortunately it would not curl, so I had to return it.) Finally I tried the Singlepass Whirl and absolutely love it ..... it creates the definition that I like ....... I don't have the do my entire head as I just curl several sections to blend in with my natural wave, and I have the look I am looking for. My curls look completely natural, are long lasting (I don't use hair spray, and my style holds until I wash it (I normally wash my hair every other day.) The t3 Single Pass sells for $130.00 but it is worth it ...... the barrell size is 1.25" which is perfect for me and has adjustable heat that goes up to 450 degrees ..... I have used as high as 425 degrees and my hair has never burned ....... it also curls very quickly as I normally hold the wand for 8 - 10 seconds per section. I highly recommend the t3 Singlepass Whirl if you want the Victoria Secret look, and I also recommend CHI Air Texture Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron if you are wanting a more curly look.
