Oh my goodness gracious! I love a great hair product (must be the girly girl in me!)- whether it's a straightening iron, curling iron, blow dryer, shampoo, hair spray, etc. You name it. I love 'em all! Up until now, the only items I have had difficulty using are the round brush (gets stuck in my hair EVERY time!) and hot rollers. I can add a third product to that list now- the curling wand.
When I was contacted by Misikko to do a product review, I chose to work with the Corioliss Wand Ceramic Curling Iron 18mm. The uniqueness of the wand was what interested me. There is no clip to hold the hair in place, so I was quite curious how well it would curl my long, extremely thick, hair. I took it as a challenge.
Corioliss Wand Curling Iron features:
- Tourmaline infused ceramic barrel emits far infrared heat technology to lock in moisture.
- Fast heat up time and high temperature performance.
- Negative ion technology eliminates static resulting in hair that is soft, silky and shiny.
Professional 360 degrees swivel cord - Clipless design. Not like the other traditional curling irons.
- 1 Year Warranty
Now, perhaps it was in all my extreme excitement about all the great goodies that Misikko sent to me, or perhaps it was out of pure laziness, but for whatever reason, I did not research HOW to use the iron. Nor did I pay attention to the warning label that the iron would be EXTREMELY hot, so the user needs to be responsible when working with the wand.
At any rate, I hastily plugged in the iron, slipped on the included glove, and within 30 seconds, I was ready to rock and roll.
Did I mention I should have paid attention to the warning label?
Fumbling with hair that I was attempting to wrap around the wand and becoming increasingly frustrated that I had no clue WHAT I was doing, I managed to get my hair tangled around the iron. Well, again, WITHOUT THINKING, I tugged a bit too hard on the iron and before I knew it, the iron ended up resting on my forearm. It didn't take me long to realize what I had done, but it was too late. A big ole blister immediately formed on my arm.
After a trip to Urgent Care, I received a diagnosis of third degree burn and was given instructions on how to care for it. Needless to say, I did not get to finish trying out the curling wand any more that day!
A few days later, I researched a bit about curling wand on the Internet and watched a few How-to videos as well. I realized what I was doing wrong and decided to give it another try.
I was MUCH more careful the second time, and even though I only managed to put a few curls in my hair due to the difficulty I was having with the burn, I was VERY impressed with the product! My hair curled in pretty spirals very easily. The curls never drooped at all the rest of the day! (Considering I had to go to a baseball game in very hot and humid weather, the fact that the curls held their shape is very impressive!)
I will absolutely keep this wand in my go-to basket of tools. I love the results, and with a little more practice, I think the curls will be even better! I am going to try for tighter curls next time.
Bottom Line:
After some initial mishaps (my fault, NOT the wand's fault), I can say that I do like the Corioliss Wand Ceramic Curling Iron and would recommend it without hesitation to you. (Just PLEASE heed the caution label!)
Buy It:
Misikko offers the Corioliss Wand Ceramic Curling Iron for the sale price of $99.99 (regular price is $130). There is also FREE SHIPPING- a great little bonus. :) Additionally, Misikko will send you this great Heat Proof Pouch FREE ($20 value) with your purchase.
Misikko has a great selection of the best hair dryers and professional hair straighteners as well! If I were in the market for a hair dryer, I would choose the T3 Tourmaline Overnight Hair Dryer Travel Size. I like the size- perfect for travel! Additionally, I would love to own the TurboIon Croc Black NanoTitanium Flat Iron 1.5", as I have read great things about it!
