You know, I was watching GILMORE GIRLS the other night and really loved the way that Lorelei was wearing her hair. I wondered how she did that.

Well, I happened to be in CVS today and saw this triple barrel waving iron and I was thrilled. I figured that it would achieve the look I was eager to try.

I have already been completely amazed at the VS volumizing line of products for hair which accomplish what NO OTHER HAIR CARE SYSTEM OF ANY PRICE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH EVER.

Well, let me tell you. When you combine the VS volumizing line of products with this amazing iron, the results are nothing short of SPECTACULAR. (if you use the products, let the company know, they are thinking of discontinuing them, because of lousy advertising-hardly anyone knows how amazing they are)

Baby fine hair is what I have. After using the combination of the hair products and this three barrel waver iron, I look like I just got a perm and have thick hair. And it stays like that all day, in fact so far up to three days without rewaving.

The iron is easy to use. Because it only does a single layer of hair at a time, you do not need to leave it in as long as a curling iron. 10-15 seconds and you are able to move on to another part of the hair. To do my complete hair, it is 10 -15 minutes tops.

There are two heat settings. Either setting is fine.

I can not rave about this iron enough, and the VS products which make it work especially well with thin fine hair.

This item is truly amazing. I love it. I have fine straight asian hair. However, within 8 minutes, I can transform my pin straight hair into a headful of wavy curls. I've gotten so many compliments. I am considering buying another iron as a reserve in case mine is lost or becomes broken. I would be absolutely devastated if Vidal Sassoon discontinued producing this product. The curls I have gotten are similar to the type of curls one would get from braiding wet hair and then sleeping on it overnight - except 50 times better !!! Give this product a try ... its amazing !!!!

I was looking for something "different" without going to a salon. I just got over a drying perm from October. I have fine, but not thin color treated,blonde hair. Was a bit scared of the size of this thing, but....oooh...how shiny...had to buy it. Well, everyone loves my hair!! My husband says I look 5 yrs younger, hey "Are you leaving the house looking that good?" You know....It gives me loose perm like waves,last til the next day. Take a little styling spray to the underneath & wow !!! If your top has layers like mine, ya might have to develop a knack for that. Mine's great ! I luv luv luv it !!!!

I thought this product would give me loose, natural waves like Shakira's 'do, but i was a bit disappointed when the waves were small and unnatural looking. After I was done with my whole head, which took me close to 2 hours since I have thick Asian hair, my hair was so bushy i looked like i had an afro. However..... after constant finger tousling to create ringlets, and use of pomades, I was able to get a more natural look that i was aiming for. I think this product would be a lot better if the barrel was a bit bigger, otherwise, I agree that it is comparable to crimping.

I was very excited when I ordered my triple barrel curling iron from Vidal Sasson. I immidiatly tried it, and followed all of the instructions. I have thick hair and I was very surprised how well it worked on my hair. However, after I used it it had a crimp like effect, but slightly bigger waves. If this is the look your going for, this is perfect for you!

I was at first skeptical about a three-barreled curling iron. It seemed like a basic crimper. WOW was I wrong. My hair is straight and thick. I wanted something to make it look defined and polished. The iron transformed my hair into shiny, silky strands. The waves are beautifully "S" shaped and can be as formal or funky as you want. It is sooo easy to use. It heats up almost instantly(plus there is low and high setting for different hair types) It was surprising quick. Whether you are going to the office or want a special style for that special night, this is the tool for you.

Since my hair is pin-straight, I totally gave up on curling my tresses. However, when my friend insisted that I tried this product, I was in awe. This product is not only small enough to fit in my travel bag, but also left my hair with bouncy curls with definition and shine. I highly suggest anyone who is considering to curl there hair, but has doubts because of their straight hair. Go buy this and prove yourself wrong!

Ugh! I was excited to use this when I received it some years ago but was very disappointed with the results. The "waves" come out very unnatural looking, more like a cross between a crimp and a curl. In fact, I think I'd actually prefer using a crimper over this thing, if you can imagine that! Just very unflattering. The barrels' size is just much too thin and I think if it had a thicker barrel it might be nice. However, the iron only has 2 heat settings also, which is a big minus. If you have VERY thin, fine hair this might be OK (well, just not AS bad), but if your hair is normal or as thick as mine, DON'T EVEN TRY IT! I would go for the Revlon 3-barrel Jumbo Waver over this (or something similar looking), which I think I'm about to try (the barrels seem alot thicker and better placed I think I could achieve the natural wavy look I'm trying for). But pass on this VS product.

This is a really cool waver-it doesn't create curls, it creats really cool waves. I used this for new years and my waves stayed the entire night! didn't have to hold it for long on my hair, Love it!

I've always had fine, straight hair. In the 80s, I used perms to help, but I didn't want to fry my hair the rest of my life, so I looked for alternatives.

I went through all kinds of styling tools from Revlon RV261 20-Roller Ionic Professional Hairsetter to Conair CD103JCS Satin Finish 1-1/2-Inch Ceramic Curling Iron, and then some...even hair products like Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme 7 oz..

I finally stumbled across this triple-barrel iron. While it takes much longer to style my hair, it doesn't fall flat after only a few hours...in fact, I've had my waves last overnight.

I would not recommend it to someone who is in a hurry, or anyone with shoulder-length or shorter hair...if you don't have long hair, using this iron will make you look ridiculous.
