A while ago I got to use a friend's hair curler for a school play, and it curled wonderfully! And not long after, I saw in an Ulta catalog the same curler- the Conair Instant Heat Spiral Styler, a hair curler with ridges along it to keep your hair from bunching up.
As a bonus, the curler was only about $12- super cheap! I mentioned it to my mom, and she picked up a curler for me on one of her frequent trips to Ulta.
I love it! It's probably one of the best curlers I've ever used. So I decided to do a little review of it for fun.
This is my hair without any styling. A little bit wavy, but mostly straight.
And here we have our weapon!
The curler heats pretty fast. The website claims it heats in 60 seconds, but I don't know if it's actually that fast.
In action! Actually curling my hair is SUPER FAST. I clamp my hair, curl it around the barrel, and after only about a second I can pull my hair out and get...
This! It doesn't look amazing yet, but the curls look great after they can settle for a second.
And a full pigtail! But after some styling we get...
DRILL CURLS~
I don't know if these can technically be considered drill curls, but that's what I call them haha!
A closeup.
All in all, these curls last all day! With some touch-ups, you can even keep the curls in for a few days.
My curler was from Ulta, but I'm not sure how well known they are outside of Oregon, or even just to Portland area. So here's Conair's page for the curler. In the most recent Ulta catalog I saw a similar curler by a different brand that was only $10. I'm tempted to buy this one and try it out, too, especially if I can get curls like that in different sizes.
I would definitely suggest this curler to any girl, especially one with thick, hard to curl hair like me.
