his is a great product for the price, I don’t see the point in spending a fortune on something for the brand/box when this does the job of curling my hair perfectly.
I have very unruly and textured hair / it’s not straight, not all curly, but all of it is frizzy! I bought these as my Morphy Richard ones that I got in the early 2000s have seen better days. At 21.89 with good reviews I thought I’d give these a go. They are more fiddly than the curlers that have the clip to clamp the bottom of a hair strand to twist up the barrel, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it. I used the smaller straight barrel for the long extensions, and the barrel that is smaller at the end and wider at the base to curl my own hair. They blended together nicely and I’m overall happy with them. There isn’t an option to adjust the temperature, but my Morphy Richards ones didn’t have that either. Changing the barrels is easy, they’re sturdy and although they’re cheap they don’t feel poor quality. They curl just as nicely as branded curlers. I don’t need to use any product when I use heat on my hair, so I don’t know if they’d end up with a build up of product if the user did apply hairspray, but as the barrels can be detached I’d be more confident cleaning them than trying to clean the barrel if it was permanently attached to the power part of the handle. They come in a basic brown box so I’m going to find a storage option for them because the box is bulky. I advise ordering a heat proof mat to use with these as they don’t have a real stand to keep them from burning surfaces/rolling off the surface.
It does the job amazingly! Very happy to have bought this curling iron! Makes very pretty curls in my hair. It doesn’t have a temperature control, but it is still doing a great job for the price I’ve paid.
This is my first hair curler and it does a great job. I didn’t want to buy anything expensive, in case it would not work very well for me. I really don’t understand the comments regarding plain box and lack of temperature regulation. Really? Read the description first. It doesn’t have to have glitter all over and show the brand.
It is a good price, safe to use and makes any type of curles you want even with long hair.
I received the box and yes it’s just a basic cardboard box, nothing fancy but it’s the box so who cares?! I’m not going to display it for all to see! The wand and attachments are plain black, again, not an issue.
The curler itself (the important bit) is amazing! So far I’ve only used the large barrel but it’s SO good! 12 seconds for each curl section and it creates beautiful beach waves. I’ve had so many compliments on my hair. I can’t fault this curler at all. For 18 it’s perfect! If you would rather go spend 40+ on a branded curler then go for it but this does exactly the same thing at a fraction of the price. Personally I’d say it’s the brand snobs that dislike this. As I stated, for 18 you can’t go wrong & it has the 4 attachments and a glove. Honestly it’s the best curler I own, considering I have the tresem and GHD wands as well! Save yourself some ‘s and try these first!
The range of wands was good making it extremely versatile for all hair types and lengths, it also was very easy to interchange. The glove provided adequate protection against heat.
It is Easy to use and super safe with temperature control and on/off switch; easily swap attachments by inserting them into the base; included heat-resistant gloves let you swap attachments while they’re still warm
I could not be happier with this purchase. I have zero hair skills and even I was able to use it with no issues!
Each piece clips onto the base pretty easily and it takes less than 60 seconds to reach the maximum temperature.
I used the larger wand and I curled my entire hair in under 10 minutes (again, zero hair skills over here). I’m sure someone with more experience would be able to do it even faster.
Plus it’s so light it doesn’t hurt my arm like other curling wands I’ve tried before.
This really is a basic curling wand. It comes packaged in a plain cardboard box, and the different attachments are in separate plastic bags (which seems wasteful), and a cheap glove.
The wand itself is very light, feels quite cheap, and has a simple on/off switch.
I wasn’t actually expecting much from this wand but I tried out the smaller of the two irons supplied. It heats up to a very hot temperature. The downside I then discovered is the power supply cable is very short, especially for a hair styling product, I’ve never known one to have such a short cable. However, I set about curling my hair, and was pleased to find it created nice, decent curls. Afterwards I was surprised to find all the curls held really well, and I really liked the style of them!
For a cheap product, I’m actually quite impressed, and will be using this over my old Babyliss wand.
I find this iron may not be suitable for everybody due to the lack of customisable settings. Some people will find the temperature too high for their hair (especially if your hair gets heat damaged easily) or too low and won’t be able to get nice, long-lasting curls.
On the other hand, I find they make up for this lack of customisation by adding interchangeable attachment which allow you to achieve different types of curls/waves. Each of them look great and are easy to set up and use. The price is another factor that may be appealing. For the current price of 16, I would say it is a pretty good hair curler and definitely something I would recommend as a first buy within the many options in hair curling irons.
Good starter kit, like that it includes different barrels to suit what look you want the most, works better then I expected so can’t complain, I gave this to my cousin who’s just starting to get into hair and stuff and its an affordable alternative
This product have 4 interchangeable attachments to create different styles: 1-inch wand, 1-inch iron, 1.25-inch iron, 1-inch bubble wand.Easy to use and super safe with temperature control and on/off switch; easily swap attachments by inserting them into the base; included heat-resistant gloves let you swap attachments while they’re still warm.Very good quality amazon brand and price is awsome.
Pros:
– You get 4 different curl pattern attachments
– It’s nice and compact
– Reaches a high temperature (suitable for all hair types)
– Comes with a heat protecting glove
Cons:
– You can’t change the temperature
– Heat/burn protective glove doesn’t protect whole hand
Overall I’m very pleased with this curler, it works very well in my hair. I love 3 of the 4 attachments as I’m not entirely sure how to use the bubble looking wand with my Afro curly hair.
The curls hold well, and I love the fact that I can literally fold this curler in half by removing the attachment, it’s much more convenient to store this way.
The only thing I wasn’t keen on is the glove having two fingers missing, I don’t see the purpose of it. I’d have preferred a heat glove with full hand coverage.
Since this product isn’t available at the time of writing this review I can’t comment on its value for money. But price aside, I love this curler and would highly recommend it!
This is such a great curling set I reccomend them to everyone you get lots of attachments for different styles of curls and its really easy to take them off and put another on. You also get a really handy heat glove with it which I’ve never had before. Simply click to heat up and they go up to 200C I never go that high as my hair is than and would burn. There really easy to use and also great value for money for what you get. Tha ks so much.
I always curl my hair using straighteners so thought I would try something different. There’s a variety of different barrels ( 1x 1 inch wand, 1 inch iron, 1x 1.25-inch iron and 1x 1 inch bubble wand) for different styles of curls. It does take a bit of getting used to if you do not use them on a regular basis. The wand comes with a heat-resistant glove and trust me, you will need it. This product becomes SUPER hot quickly so do take caution. Overall, great variety for different looks. Definitely worth it and recommended.
Amazon Basics PTC Ceramic Curling Wand Set with Interchangeable Attachments came in a simple brown box. This box came with 4 attachments in total, each of different size, users manual and a glove. But it is so easy to use I never required manual.
One problem is that, it doesn’t have temperature controller to it. Wand just have an on/off switch.
But gets hot very easily and fast. takes very less time. I have tried it for many times and curls stays for all day long. I’ll definitely recommend it.
This product does the job. I found it easy to turn on and to use being extremely lightweight as well as easy to hold. It heats up very quickly which was something I was impressed with and it made curling the hair a breeze however, it had no indication of when it was fully heated which I would of appreciated.
The range of wands was good making it extremely versatile for all hair types and lengths, it also was very easy to interchange. The glove provided adequate protection against heat, but the material was quite rough and may get caught in the hair.
Overall, I’m quite happy with this product.
Hope you found my review helpful.
I really like this curling wand set. It is extremely easy to use with its four interchangeable wands and simple quick-change mechanism which you lock into place before using — all this is clearly explained with text and pictures in the accompanying instruction booklet. There is an ON/OFF switch on the handle, a red light to indicate heating, and it heats up quickly when turned on. The wands get hot but there is a cool tip at the end of each one which makes it easier to use, and a heat-resistant glove to protect your hand. This is good but it only has the thumb and first two fingers; I would find it better if it was a fully-fingered glove as you can still catch the outside fingers accidentally when holding the hair on the wand.
The four wands produce different curls and they set in my hair very quickly — within about ten seconds. The instructions state that you should hold the curl in place around the barrel for 15-20 seconds for tight curs or if your hair is hard to curl, and a shorter time if you want loose curls or just waves.
I have used curling tongs in the past which had a metal plate to hold the hair in place, but I never found these gave a nicely shaped curl, and often ended with a kink in the end. This is MUCH better. It takes a bit of practice but I’m getting better at using it. The curl is great and lasts a surprisingly long time on my hair. I’ve included photos of curls on my own hair, but will update with shots on my daughter when she arrives back from uni. I can see her trying to appropriate this set for her own use!
At the time of testing this product and writing my review, no price was available to see so I can’t comment on value for money, but I highly recommend this set if you want curls in your hair.
This is a really decent Curling Iron that generally works well.
Its on the budget end of the scale but generally Amazon Basic products tend to be really good value, and this is.
Some premium features it heated up well and the results with hair were as to be expected.
It got plenty hot enough and I like the LCD panel and auto shut off feature and plenty of helpful accessories
Effective
Great curling wand setthis comes with different attachments which is quite cool and convenient as you can swap the heads around according to what look you are trying to achieve. For example if you want to achieve smaller and tighter curls- it would be best to use the thin wand and for more bigger wavy curls, it’s better to use thicker one. This is perfect as this essentially works as a 4-1. It saves the hassle and money of buying different type of curlers to achieve different curl types.
This is a really good curler, however I do not like that it has no heat setting and gets very hot quickly. Luckily a heat glove is provided but nonetheless…. Overall this is really good and well worth the money. Does the job
At the time of review there are very few details available for this curling wand with detachable attachments including the price, so my review is based purely on the product use and included instructions.
Its brilliant just brilliant and I can recommend it right off the bat. I struggle to curl my daughter’s hair & she really wants curls / wavy hair, I’m not sure what it is, but her hair is super resistant to get curl in & if I do get a slight wave, it doesn’t last very long & certainly never overnight. Not with this wand, and of all the curling devices I have tried this has got to be the game changer. We both love it. It curls tight rings I never thought I would see in her hair (with the bubble wand). The other 3 wands create different styles, bouncy curls, tight curls, loose curls — any curls can be achieved with a bit of experimenting.
The instructions are pretty good too and it does say to hold thick hair for about 10 — 15 seconds which I did for about 10 to get the tight curls.
Amazingly the curls have stayed in her hair over 2 nights and the next morning are just as curly as the night before so something amazing happens when I curl her hair using this curling iron.
Do need to use the included heat protector glove because I thought I didn’t need it and wound up burning myself twice so the glove is necessary because it gets super-hot. It is easy to control just an on/off switch (no temperature control but I feel we did not need it) and clipping in the different wands is with ease.
Best results for both our hair — love the different options of style and texture with the different wands but the favourite has to be the bubble. Recommend Yes!
This was ordered for my 18 and 21 year old grand daughters to use and so far the impression has been quite positive apart from the packaging being a rather basic and industrial plain cardboard box with divisions in it. The quality the product seems to be much better than the cheap packaging would suggest and gives the impression that the expected customer is likely to be trade sales to salons rather than High Street shops. The various “heads” clip on to the power unit and everything is very heavily constructed including a very heavy duty mains lead. The feed back on first use has been very good and they both like like the results they are getting. If the heavy and high quality feel of the product is anything to go by this looks like a product that will pass the test of time as well as ability to do the job intended.
This was a gift for my wife and she was SO PLEASED with the ease and quality of this product. The ability to switch the barrels for different looks made her very happy
It works ! Where normal curling irons wouldn’t work on her hair, this wand does. And the curls last for days. She love the different wand options that come with it. If you want those beach waves this wand does it. Make sure you use the heat resistant glove that comes with it while you’re getting used to using the wand. It’s easy to use. Great value for the money
We like the range of Amazon Basics and are always pleasantly surprised by the good quality and prices . This ceramic curling wand set with several interchangeable attachments includes 1 inch wand , 1 inch iron , 1-25 inch iron , 1 inch bubble wand . These come in a plain cardboard box with compartments to store them in , it is easy to use and safe temperature control and on/off switch , all the attachments are changed easily by inserting into the base and a heat resistant glove is included which helps in changing attachments whilst still warm . The PTC and tourmaline ceramic coating seals in the hairs natural moisture for full and lasting curls says my wife .
