I have really flat hair. I've tried many products to increase the volume of my hair and it was never successful. I discovered with this iron- just do crimps at the hair root-I can get as much texture as I wanted! fast and simple. Great solution for people has the same problems!

the crimping iron does work as promised, but the crimps are so tiny that my hair just ends up looking frizzy unless i put a ton of styling products into it first and then flip the ends up with my wide barrel curling iron post-crimping. i would give the product 5 stars for amount of time the crimp stays in and for how fast it heats up (under a minute). i would give the product 0 stars for making my hair look fancy, crimped, and 1984-fabulous. i need to find a wider crimping iron. anyone out there want to make a trade?

Pros: Doesn't need product to hold a near-invincible crimp, heats up fast
Cons: If you rush while using it, you get textured and frizzy instead of crimp

Wow! This is the first time I've ever used a crimping iron, and I am very impressed. I have tried curling my hair multiple times, and my hair never holds it. Even with loads of product, my curls would flatten out within a few hours. Definitely not the case with this though! Not a bit of product in my hair, and once I'd figured out how to get it to crimp well there was no getting rid of it. I left in it for a couple of hours before deciding I wanted to flatten it out and try a different style-- The straightening iron had no effect! It was amazing, though a bit frustrating. I have since taken a shower and my hair seems to be back to normal.

The volume this provides is so crazy. I crimped the bottom layer of my hair and I have never seen it so poofy! It felt very thick, the crimps were well-defined, and I didn't even bother with the top layer because my hair was thick enough as it was. It wasn't the look I was going for, but if you're interested in giving your hair more volume, this will definitely do the trick.

The reason I gave it four stars instead of five though was mostly because you gotta crimp your hair just right. If you don't squeeze tight enough or have the heat on high enough, you won't get a good crimp at all. Everything takes a bit of experimentation, sure, but I was very upset at first because it seemed like all I was getting was uncharacteristically frizzy hair. So when using this, make sure to take your time, figure out which heat setting works best for you (I went higher than it suggested for fine hair, setting it at 15 instead of 5), and give your hair a good squeeze!

This crimper is absolutely perfect. It has a good variable temperature and a tiny crimp. Just right to give my hair a little body without the crimped hair being noticeable. love it love it

it works great especially on shorter hair. be prepared though because the crimps are tiny...they will give you a lot of volume

I just got my crimper today and tried it out. I guess I didn't realize how long it takes to crimp! The way I've done it previously is put my hair in a bunch of french braids before bed and undo them in the morning. I spent over an hour crimping and although my hair reaches about a third of the way down my back, it's pretty thin so it took longer than I expected. It did heat up quickly and gave me a ton of volume. It looks like frizz rather than crimps because the crimps are so small, but I like it-my hair looks really thick! I think I will mostly use the crimper to get volume rather than doing all of my hair. By crimping your hair (at the roots only) under the top layer, you can get big hair and that's what I want! So all in all, it's all right and I don't think it was a waste of money.

BOUGHT THIS CRIMPER FOR MY DAUGHTER. SHE HAS FINE HAIR AND SHE USES IT ON OCCASIONS. IT MAKES SMALL CRIMPS. I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT SMALL CRIMPS IN THEIR HAIR. I PREFER LARGER.

So I wanted DJ Tanner hair and this product did crimp my hair, but it gave it more texture than I wanted.

This was a holiday gift for a young girl. The recipient used it and said it worked pretty well.It was a little thinner than I thought it would be.

This crimper works fine, and my daughter is reasonably satisfied with performance. However, next time we would purchase wider one. It takes very long to crimp your hair with the one inch width. Recommend wider model. Otherwise, product is working fine.
