Wow. This wave iron is amazing. Let's get to it. I could have included pics, but honestly, there are a lot of examples of that already. I have fairly thick hair, with medium course texture - natural dark blonde, about shoulder length. The handle is a combo of purple metal and black plastic. The on and off switch and the temp guides are inside the pinch of the handle. VERY, very smart. I don't how many times I've used my regular curling iron and turned it off over and over again because the switches are placed exactly where you hold the iron - even on my flattening iron. So bonus on the well placed switches. There is a twist knob on the other end of the iron that allows you basically change the dimension/pattern of your wave... they can be more uniform, or more wild depending on the middle wave iron. There are three barrels as you can see in the diagram. The cord is long and convenient with the most important "swivel." It has 6 heat settings 250 degrees up to 400 degrees. Now, let's talk heat - it gets HOT. I would recommend using the lowest heat and testing one step at a time to find the level that doesn't fry your hair - especially if you have color treated or chemically processed hair. Lower heat, for just few seconds at the very most is all it takes. I have a pretty full head of hair and I was done in about 15 minutes. The other thing to note about the heat part is that the iron works on a "pinch" system as you would guess.. there are 2 barrels that are completely open and branding hot. So BE CAREFUL! I accidentally burned my left thumb pretty good - happens so fast! I purchased the "suggested" hot glove - I now use it every single time I use this iron. And be careful when you get close to your skin, around your face. Having fully covered the safety suggestions, I will say that the waves I did lasted 4 days (I wanted to see how far I could go) and probably would have lasted longer with NO other products in my hair. The finer strands around my face needed a slight touch up, but the rest totally stayed wavy! It was sort of like getting a wave perm or something. I was amazed. I don't get greasy looking hair, but you could use a dry shampoo to extend wear to a day or two easily. The wave "action" gives you body and fullness - like a crimper iron - but so much softer. I have "sold" so many of these in the last few days - so many people asking if I'd had a perm... what salon did my hair... and when I told them about the wave iron, where can I get one?? I've purchased sooo many hair "tools" in my life... but this is honestly one of my favs. Just remember to use extreme caution when it gets hot with the open barrels .. and use lowest temps - going up one step at time to find the perfect temp for your hair type. Don't leave on one spot too long and you'll be amazed at the result and then the staying power of the do! Having said all those things, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. I will be ordering another one for travel soon. Would be out of this world if they included a heat proof sleeve!

I have used a few of these tools to wave my hair and found this perfect one. I will say it's a bit bulky and my head gets tired but I'll push through it. I have fine thin hair so the first heat setting is perfect for me. I recommend it cause it has different wave settings in one tool.

this is a favorite favorite. I love how it's different sections to crimp. The curls are 10/10 always. It is comfortable to use. I finish crimping my wigs in 30 minutes. I really really recommend

The only thing I wish it had was a way to close it... it doesn't have a lock to close it while not in use

I love this product so much my hair is literally dead now haha creates the most beautiful waves and I always get compliments when I style my hair with this. I 100% recommend.
