CHI Spin N Curl, Curling Iron For Healthy & Shiny Effortless Curls & Waves, P...

I really like this chi spin N curl. It's good quality so easy to use. It makes my hair look shiny & look and feel soft. It works well and doesn't take me near as long to curl my hair as with a normal curling iron. The button placement is perfect when you're holding it if your hair gets caught, you just push the bottom button for a second and it releases your hair. This is my second one because I left my first one at My Daughter's and they liked it so I let them keep it.

I really like this curling iron! It’s very easy to use, especially if you’re not experienced with styling your hair. The rotating feature helps a lot and saves time. It creates nice, soft curls that last for hours without looking too tight or unnatural.

Pro: * safe...the case sets against your head between the hot barrel to prevent burns * gives a nice sausage/barrel curl * heats up super fast * has a long cord so you can easily position yourself to see what you are doing * easy to use with just a minimal learning curve * price is ok Con: I really dislike the location of the buttons to control the barrel spin. Very inconvenient. I have long hair. Past the bra strap. If you have long hair you need to manage the amount of hair you try to curl at one time. Use smaller sections or you will get an error because it is just too much for the barrel. This doesnt necessarily save you time. As you get more experienced with it that might be the case. But not when you are new to it. Where it has been handy for me is the back of my head. Yikes, when you are trying to roll 22" hair. This helped. You need to take a small section of hair, lay it across the top, make sure the hair is smooth and you set it down so the tail of the hair is parallel to the tool and lays gently downward before pressing the spin button. If you don't, you may end up with a fahoofled mess and need to start it over. You don't need to slide the hair into the barrel. You can lay it across the U shaped part in the center. Just be sure to position the rest of the strand the way I described earlier. Tangles don't really matter. The spinning stops and it angrily beeps at you and you simply slide the hair out of the chamber. There is nothing to tangle into the hair and catch it. If you want to leave your hair wrapped longer than the beep alert you can. It is just a convenient counter alert for you. This gives a final result of a beachy wave curl after you fuss with the finished barrel curls. Your final result will be determined by your curling products and style. I would say a curl setting product would be helpful. Quick heat set curls don't have the best staying power like a wet overnight set would. My overall opinion is that it is handy and does a decent job. For most people it probably isn't faster than a curling iron. It does help if you are trying to get a barrel wrap instead of a flat wrap and struggle with it. It is also nice for getting the back of the head if you have long hair. I am sure over time the creative souls will find lots of tricks and tips for interesting ways to style with it.

I recently decided to attempt to learn to curl my hair. I have naturally think and wavy hair, but wanted more definite in my curls. I bought several different types of curling irons, and this one has been the winner for me! I purchased a used one and have no issues with the quality of the machine, heat level, or packaging. So far I have tried 400f temp with a 17s hold. The 17s seems like a very long time (lol). I will try the 15s next. The curls held well and came out very defined. My hair does have some what of a “heat” smell too it, but that usual anytime I use heated items. The learning curve is pretty easy, I just followed the included directions. However, I did have an issue with the hair becoming tangled often and the iron needing to be reset. I suspect this is somewhat user error and I am using to thick of sections at a time or holding them too “tightly”. It may just be a me thing, but it was annoying. Overall, this curler works well and is easier to use than other options I have tried. The curls held well all day! Compared to a traditional iron, this curler is a clear winner!

My 15 year old granddaughter loves to spin and curl her hair. She told me that it beeps to let you know if hair is tangled. Very easy to use. Has a automatic turn off feature.

Game changer. I have long hair. I love this. Saves time and energy. I sit criss cross applesauce on my bed and curl my hair quick and easy while doing other stuff. I don’t even need a mirror. I can set it down on the bed it’s warm but not hot. A kid could easily use this. The moment it feels any type of tension with the hair it stops winding and starts beeping and it’s easy to take your hair back out. I have never had a problem with my hair getting stuck. I wash and condition my hair and let it air dry. Then I curl it with no product and the curls last all week if I want them to. Lil dry shampoo and good to go. I brush out my hair everyday and the curls are still bouncy literally seven days later. I use no other products at all other than dry shampoo a day or two after curling if I don’t wash my hair. I love this thing. The photos are several days after curling and after multiple brushes.

Amazing product! Curls really well and last for days even if the curls start to fall naturally as the days go by… It’s tricky at first to place the hair correctly in the wand curler, and some areas are harder to curl (back of head), but you still get great end results!

CHI Spin N Curl Rose Gold Curler - Super pretty with a nice design and very easy to use once you get the hang of it! The instructions don’t specifically mention holding your hair over the insert while letting it “hang on the other side of the curler” (it only mentions making sure that it’s in the insert) but that’s basically all you have to make sure you do in order to get it to spin your hair piece in properly. The spinning panels inside only stop after a full rotation so even if you’ve stopped pushing the button, it doesn’t stop spinning for a few seconds at times (until it makes / hits that full rotation) which makes it inconvenient and doesn’t hold the end section of your hair piece properly at times. If your hair piece isn’t thick enough to stay wrapped around the barrel all the way, the end comes out straight while the rest is curled. It’s hard to check this while it’s wrapped in because once you’ve moved the curler lower / over a little your hair starts to become undone. Then if your hair piece is too thick, the curl is scrunched and close together or just not a full curl. I curled almost my full head and my hair basically looked like a “messier curl / scrunched” style. Sadly my curls come out better just using a regular wand curler. I will say, this curler is definitely “Effortless” and makes curling easier, it just needs a few adjustments to provide better curls in my opinion. A nice function it does have is the beeping function that will beep 4 times once you’ve set and wrapped your hair piece around the barrel to let you know that your hair should be ready to pull out of the curler at that time, which is nice and helpful. There are 2 buttons on the handle near the higher part of the curler that you can choose from to determine which way you want your hair piece curled - this is genius, that way you don’t have to worry about figuring out which way to hold your curler to get your curls to come out in the right direction! There’s also an option to change how high / low you want the heat to be (like most curlers) along with a digital display. Overall a Decent Curler but sadly not worth the Amount it’s going for (currently listed for $99.99, I got mines for sale for $67.45 - all before tax) in my opinion especially since the curl outcome for this doesn’t beat my regular wand curler at home. I’d recommend this for anyone that struggles with curling in general but if you’re experienced and/or looking for consistent, nice salon style curls, I wouldn’t recommend this one.
