Review on Jose Eber Resistant Dual Voltage Compatible by Diane Beachem

Revainrating 2 out of 5

My 3rd straight-through curling iron from Jose Eber and I love it!

I love Jose Eber curling irons. I have 19mm, 25mm and now 32mm. In my opinion, these products create a large number of curls in a short time. This 32mm straightening iron is great for big loose waves/curls. I say waves/curls because that's how I start my morning. At the end of the day the frizz is gone but my hair is still frizzy and in good shape. I have long (up to the straps of a bra) thin, poker thin, messy blonde hair. If I don't roll it, it just falls limp onto my face. When I use this straightener I actually feel more attractive because my hair is bouncy and frizzy and I feel like I'm not trying too hard to style my hair. But I just don't have it with this one. Now let me tell you a little more about it - there is no heat setting on this iron, just on and off. I'm fine with that as I've had irons with a dozen temperature settings and never been able to figure out what was best for me. It's just that no matter what temperature it reaches, it's good for me. This barrel, as they say, is clipless and ceramic. If you are unfamiliar with their use, I highly recommend using the heat resistant glove that comes with the kit. I didn't use this particular one, but I did use the glove that came with the 19mm iron I have (my first the Jose Ever iron) and although I felt warm and ended up getting hot , when I touched the barrel, the glove was a good protection for my hand. I've been using these irons for years and I'd say I'm pretty good with them, but for some reason I've burned myself from them twice recently. I think it's a broad trunk; My hair is so thin and slippery that I am still working on curling my hair to keep it in place so the strands don't fall out. Just something people should be aware of when using it. I do this for 15-20 seconds at a time. I'm curious if it's because I like a little more curl than this large cylinder is meant to create, or because I'm doing larger sections of hair than the standard 1" x 1" section. I really don't have time for this. I turn my whole head in ten minutes in the morning. Time is actually the reason I bought this. I bought another brand's 32mm ceramic curling iron without clips for $20 less. But it took me twice as long to do my hair and I really don't have time for that. I'm sure that 20 minutes of hair time isn't much for most women, but I'm the type of person who has a really hard time waking up in the morning, and when I get to my hair, it almost takes only ten minutes longer, then I have to run out the door or be late for work. And honestly, that's exactly what happened to the old curling iron, which is crazy when you think about being late for work because you curled your hair. Don't know if it turns off after a period of time. I don't think he turns off. This isn't a problem for me as I usually unplug it and set it securely on a sloping spot to rest away from anything while it cools. This is important to me because I run to work while it's still hot. It can and will minimally melt things it comes in contact with (like any curling iron) so allow time to cool somewhere safe! I definitely recommend this curling iron to anyone who wants very loose curls to turn into light waves.
