Advantages: VERY effective on all types of hair, can make big curls, or thin ringlets
Disadvantages: No light to show when heated up

When I was given these curlers as a present i was over the moon, they had previously been recommended to me by a friend and they really are the best curlers for gorgeous perfect ringlets, that stay in perfectly for the whole day. I have extremely thick, difficult hair that is already quite curly - just untamed! It's extremely difficult to style but these curlers managed to work their way around it, I found I could curl large sections of hair, for ...
...hair, or I could curl small sections for small, springy ringlets, that looked amazing (but took quite a long time to do!) Many of my friends have, in turn, tried these curlers and I even convinced a few of them to go out and buy some of the same curlers for themselves!

Advantages: Heat up quickly and create looser curls
Disadvantages: Not too good on long hair

...on a hard surface and have a built in stand to keep the barrel up. After use, it is recommended that you turn the switch to off and unplug from the mains. Leave to cool before putting away. When we used the product, it created very loose curls, and it took a very long time. As I said, my daughters hair is very long and heavy, and I don't think she would manage to do this on her own.
