ConairPRO Curlmatic Curl Machine

I was skeptical about buying this since nothing has worked on my hair. Underneath on my hair is pure frizz, the next layer up is wavy and not in a good way, and last but not least the top layer is straight as an arrow. I decide to try this after reading some reviews on other models I was a bit afraid. After received it I glanced at the directions which didn't tell me much and went straight to YouTube and found a Conair of a similar model and watched a few. I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you decide to purchase it helped me tremendously. I washed my hair and air dried it, and put a heat protectant on it and went about my day with my hair in a pony tail. Next time I will let it dry overnight. It will make no difference either way, but my hair takes forever to dry on it's own. Ok I was finally ready to try it and be disappointed....well I did my hair in 3 sections starting from the bottom up. Tackled the frizz first. I combed each piece as I went. To my shock and dismay it went perfectly and I had curls. I used high heat and 12 seconds as I knew it would not stay in a tight curl. Then I went to the wavy section, went perfect, then to the straight section and before I knew it about 30 minutes I had even curls all over my head. My husband watched and thought what the heck are you doing. The trick is to get it in the chamber correctly like I saw in the video. I had no tangles or catches. I also don't recommend trying to try and curl from the scalp out. It is a different angle and it won't work and trust me you will have plenty of curl. I let the curls cool down then lifted each layer gently and used a light hairspray on my layers (I say layers but my hair is all one length past my shoulders). Also unlike any other curling device when you hear the solid beeping and it is done just open the device and let the curl fall, if you try and tug at it, it will ruin the curl. The Curl Machine is not heavy, I only wish I had a mirror in my bathroom to see what I was doing in the back, I did it by feel. My curls di loosen overnight as I slept on them, but my hair is EXREMELY thick, so I expected that, but I had Beachy waves. I threw it up in a ponytail and walked my dogs and was sweating really bad, took out the ponytail shook my head and all my waves were still there instead of frizz.. We are in monsoons so it is humid right now. I highly recommend this Conair Pro Curlmatic Curl Machine, but again do your homework before you start and get on Youtube and you will find it easy. I have tried electric rollers, hot brushes, curling irons, flat irons and none worked for me and my flat iron alone was over $300.

This tool worked great for 2/3 of my hair. I had beautiful ringlets that were so easy! Then it got caught in my hair and stopped curling my hair, it would wind it up but not do anything but heat it. So I was left with hot, straight hair. Mind you this was the first time I used it, and it was a work day. 2/3 of my hair was curled and 1/3 straight. I frantically had to attempt to straighten all the curls out to match my flat uncurled hair. I went to work with very bad hair, indeed. I hope it was just a lemon, but I product should not die the first time it is used! I am returning it for a refund and I am undecided if I will but another.

It works on my mid length hair, but not on my daughter's long hair without getting caught up, but we stopped it in time and all was well. Fine, straight hair is a little hard to curl, unless you use a little help from a gel, foam, or spray. But I like it.

I gave this to my daughter who tried it right away Her hair is very straight but it curled well and she felt she needed to play with curlmatic getting use to it and styling.Well she has been using this curlmatic and really likes it now say when she wake up next day still has curls.

Doesn't work as good as I thought. Also thought it was very expensive for not doing anything.

Absolutely love this device and so does my husband! I had a hand surgery 9 weeks ago after which my right (main, dominant) hand was in a splint for 8 weeks. My wonderfully helpful husband has never operated a curling brush or iron in his life (62 yrs). What am I going to do with my hair during all this time?!?! Two days after my surgery, while scrolling through the tv channels on my way to TCM, I see the Curlmatic demonstrated on QVC. When my husband returned home from work, I showed it to him, he watched the video and said he thought he could use it to help me with my hair. It works like a charm!! You can't go wrong. You simply put in a section of hair, gently bring the two parts together and it automatically curls the hair around the inner rod. While you hold it closed, it beeps 4 times to let you know it is done. If you want a softer curl, open it after 2 or 3 beeps. If you put in too much hair, it beeps a warning and doesn't curl. My hair looks great,and my husband gets a charge out of using it and how fast and easy it is. Now that my hand is almost healed, I'm enjoying using it, too

I thought this was going to be amazing--I have really long hair and it takes forever to curl, so this was going to be my saving grace. I turned it on and tried about 15 separate sections of hair, but the machine kept stopping without pulling in the entire section or refusing to stop pulling, and then it would let go and sound the 3 beeps and the section wouldn't even be hot because the machine didn't pull it close enough to the heating mechanism and let it go too fast. Then, on the last strand I tried, it pulled some of my hair but not all of it and my hair got stuck wrapped in the machine with the heat still on. I immediately unplugged it, but it was still hot and I could smell my hair burning. I ended up having to cut that section of hair to get it out of the machine, and I think I'll have to cut all of it to make it look normal again. Do NOT buy this machine.

This works perfectly! My new favorite tool. I can have my hair done in less than 10 minutes and it looks fabulous! I got my hair tangled in the back a couple of times but I just pulled it out slowly and there was no problem. The machine beeps if your hair gets tangled so you just open it and get your hair out. No big deal, just make sure you don't put too much hair in. I absolutely recommend this item!

This was a gift to my daughter and she absolutely loves it
