I think KISS is the best kept secret and hidden gem for a brand. Recently started using their glue on nails w/ salons being closed b/c of the COVID19 and have gotten numerous compliments. Then I found this when doing a different search. Where has this been all my life?
ok so as I always put in reviews the backstory as it is always needed in order to give full details: I have very long hair that hits my waist. It is overall straight and healthy but still needs to be smoothed w/a blow drier just to not look like bed head. so I did blow dry before using this product.
With hair being this long, curls or bouncy styles keeping their shape and holding up is not always possible and I always take that into consideration so always have realistic expectations as well.
I have a curls stick now about the same diameter and it's OK of course but I do often have to bend my arms in interesting ways in order to get all the areas of my head w/the long hair. and I have to wear a little glove to protect my fingers, etc.
So this product has a fairly short barrel as far as length goes. So pretty much figured my long hair would not be the optimal way to use this or that I would only get a curl at the ends, etc. I was WRONG.
the key is, to load the piece of hair in at the area for which you want the curl to stop. In other words if you want it half way, start w/the device in that position half way up the strand. if you want the whole strand, then start w/the device close to the scalp b/c you can't really move it around later so get the spot you want your curls to extend to as far as distance from scalp and simply put the strand in and push the button. if curling away from your face, push the left button for the left side and the right button for the right side. it then beeps when you should let the curl out and you just pull down gently and DONE! this is the easiest thing to use. I really thought this may just be a gimmick. I have tried eyeliner stamps and eyebrow stencils and I get so excited just to find out that something was a great idea in theory but in practice just not really that great or at least isn't for me. this was so surprising to me that it works so well.
so why use this over the curl stick?: here is my PRO list
1. the curl ends up uniform and PERFECT each time. b/c of the device and winding in the same mechanical and controlled way, there is never reason to re-do anything. sometimes w/the curl stick even the most experienced person will get some wonky looking pieces or will twist it in an odd way when they are winding it. these are perfect each time
2. the little beep indicator lets you know when its time to release the curl and its actually really fast
3. speaking of fast, w/the two things mentioned above this cuts the time significantly that it would take to get the same type of style w/a stick
4. for loose waves you can either use bigger pieces or just comb thru it more when its done so you get the benefit of styling options w/just one tool
5. b/c it has the two buttons, you do not have to switch attachments from going from one side to the other. its all built in
6. While this is mechanical, is really is NOT bulkier than any other curl stick and does NOT weigh more either. so can travel and use just as one would use their curl stick. and NO glove needed.
7. this prevents having to move your arms all over the place trying to twist into perfect position to curl own hair
8. this is one of those life hacks that is well worth the price and to be honest I would have paid more
9. for anyone that likes to use a curl stick, this would make a GREAT gift
10. as far as how long the curls last, that is also on point. I would say it is equal to how long they would last usually (again those w/shorter hair prob last longer) and they maybe even last longer than usual for me considering the curls are uniform and even...meaning the heat was applied evenly to all areas when initially used
11. don't let the length fool you...some how my long strand gets wound ALL the way and I can get a curl that goes all the way from scalp to tip if I want. am not sure how it does it but it works
I always give detailed reviews and always make a con list. even if its being picky I always list some negatives just to be thorough to really give folks all the info before they buy. I can't think of ONE negative here. it even heats up fast to initial use and has 2 heat settings too.
