Clipless Curling Irons

Does anyone use one?  I'm looking for a softer, beachier curl this summer and keep reading good reviews. If so:

What model do you have?

Does it have a straight barrel or a cone shaped one?

Is it hard to use?

Do you have a heat glove?

How much practice did it take you to get the hang of it?

  • "clipless?"  as in, nothing holding the hair down?

  • Yep.  Hence the glove apparently.  And it allows you to avoid that crimpy bump thing at the end where your hair was clipped down.

  • I have one! My hair is super thick and doesn't hold curl very well, but mine works really well for me. My personal experience with it has been that it makes very tight curls at first, but I normally comb them out a little and they loosen up over time.

    What model do you have? Conair

    Does it have a straight barrel or a cone shaped one? Cone

    Is it hard to use? Nope, just wrap your hair around it and hold it for 20-30 seconds and release.

    Do you have a heat glove? one came with the iron, I never use it. It's awkward.

    How much practice did it take you to get the hang of it? I played around with it a little before the actual event I bought it for. It takes a couple tries to figure out the way to wrap your hair so all the curls fall the same way but it's pretty easy. Takes me abt 10-15 min to do my whole head now.

    The only other word to the wise I'd have is to watch the heat, it can get super hot and you probably don't need it that hot. Also, if your hair does hold curl well, this will work REALLY well, so make sure you want your hair curly today.
