Remington CI95AC/2 Tstudio Salon Collection Pearl Digital Ceramic Curling Wand 1 Inch

I absolutely loved the product. Cudos to the iBhejo team for sending the product in such great shape. Also the product is a perfect bliss. I am not sure whether it the texture of the wand or something else but the curls last much longer than usual on my hair and it's pretty much easy to use with the heat settings and everything. A must buy for any one wanting to buy a curling wand

The product is perfect for a quick hairfix. Unlike other curlers, it does the task much easily.Superb customer care support from amazon and booyah. Booyah provided a complimentary voltage converter with the product since it works on 110volts. The converter when received was broken. On requesting a new one, they positively complied and made my purchase experience better again.

wify says: its worth it

Good as expected

the best curling wand ever.. love remington love amazon!!

Does what it claims

Nice Product

I got a damaged product. For the very first use as soon as the power on itself smoke came out through the LCD display, for the second use I heard a blast sound and it's not working. I'm very much fed up. They sent me from USA do you think you can dump all used and useless products to India. Shame on you. Thu.....

I had an earlier model of this curling wand for the last 5 years which stopped working. What I loved about this curling wand was that the curl would last all day, even in hot, humid summer weather here in Toronto! I purchased this curling wand as a replacement, and once again, I am pleased with this product and the results! I was disappointed that it didn't come with instructions (*I know how to use it lol, but does it have auto-shut off? heat settings, other features, a warranty, and this would be important for someone who is buying a curling wand for the first time. The product was new, in it's plastic covering, came with a glove, but the box was taped at the top. With that said, I'll give this product 5 stars, as it works well, heats up quickly, and to be honest, I only have to use the lowest heat setting, 280 degrees, as that's all it takes to curl my hair (fine texture, slight wave). *Tip: because of my hair texture, I use a flat iron first to straighten my hair, then I use the curling wand - this gives a nice looser wave to my hair, otherwise, my hair looks too "big"! I would also recommend YouTube if for tips on how to use curling wands (they can be tricky if you're a first-timer!).

I was a little hesitant to purchase this curling wand when I saw how many reviews were solicited in exchange for a free product, but after doing extensive research on all the reasonably affordable ones out there, I settled on this one for the design and features, as well as price. Among my criteria was that the product have a lower tendency to break or explode or whatever. (It got pretty scary to read some of those reviews out there!) However, I am pretty pleased with my purchase. I take good care of it and it works well for me.My caucasian, light brown and now slightly graying hair has always been straight. I leave it long for several years then donate about 12-15 inches and end up with a short hairstyle for a bit while it grows back. I had just cut my hair again recently to a bob length, and I noticed my hair is now starting to do some natural waves in the back, but it's not quite curly and not quite consistent. To help style my short haircut, I thought I'd try curling it. My hair has never been good at holding a curl, though I would love to have curly hair. The joke was that I'd be curly for about an hour, then BOOM - sad and straight again. However, I'd only used curling irons in the past. By this time, I only had one left (gave the others away), and it was a large barrel one that basically curved my short hair in to a classic bob style.Wanting more of a modern, wavy and messy look, I watched many YouTube tutorials to see what kinds of short hair looks I could achieve with various styling tools. The wand seemed interesting, so I researched them online and ultimately decided on this one. I have an old Remington Vortex hair dryer that has lasted for over a decade now, so I was glad to go with Remington again, hoping quality was still something I could find with their newer products (though we all know, "they sure don't make 'em like they used to").The first time I used this thing, I put the included, black, stretchy, safety glove on and went to work. It was fun to do, but the glove, as almost everyone on YouTube says, just tends to get in the way once you learn the technique and how to avoid being burned. So I now never use the glove. Of course, I did manage to burn one knuckle on the barrel just one time. It really hurt, but it was a small spot and healed after a week or so. Just be extra careful, this thing does get HOT!I do not use a heat protectant product on my hair. I never have used one. If I start to see heat damage, I may change my mind, but I think my usage should be light enough not to fry my hair. However, I've only had this item for 2 months now, so time will tell if this heat will damage my hair in the long run. I cannot donate damaged hair, so I am doubly interested in keeping my hair in good condition. I don't like using a lot of products, but I like using aloe vera gel in my hair, so I will usually have a little of that in after washing, to help with hold.I created loads of spirals on the top half/layer of my head and was amazed at how long my curls lasted - ALL DAY! I slept on them and they were still pretty perky the next day, even. My coworkers and I were in disbelief at how different I looked with these amazing curls. After brushing, I got some good waves, at least. I keep the temperature on the default 356 degrees F when I do my hair, for fear of hair damage and also, because I see pretty good results at that temperature anyway. I don't seem to need any more heat. I may be able to get away with a lower temperature, but have not tried lowering it much just yet. I have played with using small and large pieces to curl, to see how it varies the style. I tend to prefer the smaller pieces in a more defined spiral shape, at least at the top layer.Note that there is a cool tip on the end of this wand. Some wands do not have this tip, and are heated through the entire barrel, right through to the end. I do not take the chance of holding onto this tip, for fear of still managing to burn myself on the edge. I don't trust myself. However, it may be a factor in your decision to buy this item if you are afraid your hair will wrap over the end and thus not get heated/curled on the ends. Some folks like the messy fish-hook ends, and some prefer curls all the way down. I tend to prefer curls all the way, but I have mixed it up and done it both ways. What I do find is that I need to be mindful of where I wrap my hair in relation to the tip and the edge between the heated surface and the tip, as there is a crack that can snag a hair or two (rarely) and also if I wrap on the tip, I won't get the curl on the end of the hair. Just something to consider.I have had this curling wand for about 2 months now. I don't use it every single day, but I have used it about every other day for a while. I use it a little less frequently now, just because I sometimes don't have time, I'm lazy, style it up, or just go casual and let my hair air dry for the day.The wand heats up rather quickly, compared to the curling irons I grew up using. (I'm in my 40's.) I usually turn it on when I start to do my make up (which takes me about 10 minutes), for convenience, but I could probably wait to turn it on when I'm done or almost done with my make up and it would still be ready to go in a minute or two.The temperature lock is useful, as the 3 little buttons are flat and might get pushed while working on curls, so I'm glad for that. I always lock it right away when I turn it on. You lock it by simply holding down the "-" button. You unlock it the same way, so you can then turn it off. I also always unplug it after turning it off, just to be sure it's not left on accidentally. I don't want anyone to drop anything onto it and have it melt whatever, or accidentally snag it or hit it and get burned.After it's COMPLETELY COOLED down, I like to use the included glove as a protective little sleeve for the barrel, in case I drop anything that might scratch the surface. (I would not put it on a hot barrel, as I don't think it is completely heat proof, just heat resistant - the glove may melt if left on a hot surface too long.) If you put the tip of the barrel into one of the fingers, it just covers the entire barrel.I do not store the wand in my bathroom drawer because I don't have much space in there with all my combs and brushes in there that might scratch it, so it either stays out on my counter top (while cooling) or I place it under my bathroom sink for storage (once cooled). I want this appliance to last a very long time, so I take good care of it. The barrel has a nice, smooth coating on it, and I would not want it to get scratched or damaged. I want it to remain smooth and in good working order. I suggest you take care with your appliance as well. (Remember: the warranty does not cover stupid.)One last dumb thing is that the marketing photos and videos make the barrel look like a very soft, pearly pink color. It's not. It's plain pink. Pink is not my favorite color, and I would have preferred a softer, pearly pink, but it's not a deal breaker for me.Overall, its a simple and effective product and very affordable for the quality. I enjoy using it and I have not had any problems with it thus far.

I have to say, curling irons were not like this in my day. There I was. 13. Woefully fine, limp hair. It was the 80's, you know, and this was NOT the time for such lifeless locks. Do you think I didn't try? Of course I did. I diligently used my little spring clamp 1986 conair trying to force my hair into beautiful springy 1986 curls every morning, only to walk outside into the terrarium of 40% humidity known as Houston,TX, and have it all fall flat.Eventually I discovered the perm and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. At some point, though, I had to break the cycle of perms and let my hair grow out. I've come to terms w/ buns and ponytails as my everyday style. I am 41 and married so who cares.My viable supermodelling years are behind me now, but even so, I like to keep abreast of the latest in beauty and hair. I came across these wands on such a forum and they piqued my interest. I tried to ignore them, recalling the ineffective iron of yesteryear and all of the time it frittered away. Eventually though, my weakness and vanity overcame me and I ordered this pretty pink wand, hopeful, excited and confused about the lack of clamp.She came to me on an otherwise bleak Tuesday, in the typical speedy manner (thank you Amazon). I snatched her up and stole away to the lavatory for some private time. And.... it was pretty good. The curls I managed LASTED, and that was a miracle! I slept on it and touched them up the next morning - fabulous! But my technique needed some work.This wand has simple intuitive controls. You'll press the power button and press the plus or minus button to adjust to the temperature you want. It will display graduated bars that blink until it reaches the selected temp. You hold the wand horizontally or vertically (you'll find different positions work better on different parts of the head) and wind about an 1" section of hair around it, starting at the wider base, holding the end as close as comfortable to the tip of the iron. Leave for about 5 seconds, more or less as needed (but not TOO long, to avoid scorching) and then release. Some people pin the curl in place to cool, some let the curl fall into their palm to let cool w/o stretching and some just let it go. I separate my fine hair into 4 to 6 sections and pin them out of the way, and release and work one section at a time. Ambidexterity is a plus, but not required. To turn the wand off, hold the power button down for several seconds. This design prevents accidental shutoff which is a problem w/ some irons. The only real difficulty I have is w/ the conical shape, as the hair tends to all slide up toward the tip and decreases the curling space. I have since ordered the "elliptical" version of the Pearl series and don't have this issue w/ it. I now use both in one session, as I like the pointy end of the conical for doing the underneath hair close to my neck and the stuff and my temples, and use the elliptical for the back and most of the crown.Please note, these new fancy wands get HOT. This one goes up in increments to 410 I believe, which is one hot mother. Also, the aforementioned lack of clamp means plenty of up close and personal time w/ the hot iron. It does come w/ the heat glove and of course you are encouraged to use that. I find it a bit cumbersome and find myself curling w/o it most of the time. As my technique improves I find myself burning fingers and neck much less.If you haven't used this type of iron before, I recommend watching several of the slew of the videos out there on the subject. I also purchased a neck protector, which I imagine one could easily make at home if one weren't so darn lazy. The one I purchased is made of heat resistant materials, though, which is a bonus. I hope w/ practice to reduce the iron-to-skin contact incidents, but the last burn on my neck was of such severity that I purchased the protector. HOT.Now, the heat obviously can damage hair w/ repeated use, and if you're like me, you are going to want to use this thing ALL THE TIME. This will require a good heat protectant, something w/ silicones and oils rather than water, regular use of a good moisturizing treatment and frequent trims. Use it on the lowest effective setting possible and never use on damp hair. I understand that ceramic irons are less damaging than the others (chrome?) but heat is damaging regardless, so take the necessary precautions and care and try to not use it in conjunction w/ other damaging treatments and not daily. I am trying to dial back my usage but it works so beautifully it's difficult!

I watched many videos on youtube using this product which convincced me to buy . I have so much trouble with regular curling irons so I I was bit worried about being able to use it but it was extremely easy . I ordered it two days ago and got it last night I tested it out and was very impressed. It curls your hair very fast and gives amazing results which last I didnt even use any curl protector and after going to bed some of my curls have remained. I saw many reviews saying the product doesnt work or takes to long, but dont let that discourage you from buying it. I recomment sectioning your hair into four parts and starting at the back. After releasing the curls hold it in your hand and letting it cool down and BAM beautiful curls in 15 mimutes or less and adding a curl protector and some oil will leave your hair looking flawless. The glove is very helpful if you are not used to the positioning but you down really need after getting used to it. The only down side is that the curling iron gets very hot and you can also burn yourself if not careful and it can take a while to cool down . Overall this curling wand is amazing !

Summary:My injury level:0/10 I almost always burn myself with my straightener, but I don't burn myself with this - go figure.My success level:9/10 Just like the box on the first try... I kid you not. I wasn't even using a real mirror (go computer screen reflection!) The curls lasted beautifully (normally they fall right out). They held their shape in windy conditions during a 30 minute walk. They looked lustrous and un-frizzy, with an adorable "idealized natural" form. I felt like an anime heroine. I didn't know hair could even look like this irl.My hair:Heavily layered. A few inches past my shoulders, at the longest. Medium thickness. Naturally wavy.My experience level:Noob. Never had much success with curling irons. It takes too long and I always get kinks from the clamp because I'm leotarded. Prefer to curl with a straightening iron.So, why do people have such varying experiences?Argument 1: The iron is too hot!/The iron is not hot enough!I used the setting the wand automatically turns on at: 375. I did not think to use the glove. You don't need to hold the hair with your fingers against the iron. You just maintain the appropriate angle and leverage, and hold onto the very tip of the hair lock. Watch some videos and you'll have an ah-HA moment. At one point I did hold my hair to the wand with my bare fingers, just to see what people were experiencing and I still have fingertips and everything. This tool's temperatures fall within a normal range, for contemporary standards - it's like using a CHI flat iron. If it's not hot enough for you, or is heating slowly, I think you just got a defective one.As far as burning yourself goes, I think different people have different spacial awarenesses. I don't seem to know where my forehead is, so I burn it all the time with my straightener. But my hands and arms were never remotely at risk with this iron, and since the tip was pointing away from my head, I was unlikely to brush against my ears or face. What I'm trying to say is: what is dangerous for one person might be easy for you, so don't give any review too much weight.Obviously don't leave the thing plugged in around children or resting with its heating element against a burnable surface. Is this the criteria we are using to review styling tools now? Let's all just agree that heating elements should be used responsibly (read: with a degree of paranoia) and that no product design is going to save you if you do something careless/irresponsible.Argument 2: Does not work with layers! -and- Need to be an expert to use!I was inspired to buy this because I was watching a YouTube tutorial employing this type of curling iron. My reaction was: FINALLY! I don't have to deal with that stupid clamp anymore! The clamp always screws me up! Yes, I am dumb enough to be foiled by a proper curling iron, but do not let people tell you that you need to be advanced to use this one! Look at the numbers. Maybe you will be one of the 4% who find it awkward. But the odds are in your favor!As far as layers go, mine are pretty overkill atm and I just didn't feel hindered by them at all. I would say... can you figure out how to maneuver your layers when styling your hair normally - like if you were to do a braided updo or something? If you can, they won't suddenly become a problem for you in this situation. As I said, I was inspired by a YouTube tutorial, and her hair was even more layered than mine, and a completely different hair type. One thing that helps is working with a large enough section of hair. It says right in the manual, to use bigger sections of hair for looser curls. That's what I wanted (I was hoping the .5-1" wouldn't be too slender!) so that's what I did. When you're using large sections of hair, it's easier to maneuver the layers. I twisted a bit when the hair became sparse and it didn't affect the curl. What's better, with large sections the curling is over in a few minutes.Conclusion...Noob + Curler + Layers + 15m work = Picture Perfect
