I got this for Christmas and I fully recommend this iron. It’s a struggle for me to get the big curls that are so popular. My hair doesn’t like to hold curls, but this really works. The oval shape helps to hold the curl. I would recommend using a product with hold to help your hair keep the shape if your hair is like mine. That will make it look perfect, but you can still get the general shape without a holding product.
For reference, my natural hair is a mix of different type 2 waves with several straight sections, but it tends to go almost completely straight without styling. My hair is also low porosity.
I didn’t use a product with hold in it in the pictures included, so the curls turned out looser than when I use a product with hold (hairspray, volume foam, texturizing spray).
