Even though I had a deep waver from Vidal Sassoon I ordered this one because I liked the "curling iron barrel style" opposed to my other one which made my hair a little kinky. This one works a tiny bit better but not much. My hair still looks kind of kinky and I wish the waves looked a little looser and more natural, but the price was outstanding if you just wanted something to switch up your straight hair every once in awhile. It is quite time consuming and awkward to use also.

This product is fine but not the best.
It's good if you are wearing a headscarf or thick headband.

Pros: It heats up VERY quickly and creates nice waves (not crimps) without making hair look dead.

Cons: It leaves a very noticeable crease in your hair because of the outside barrel's "interesting" design. Also, you have to be sure that you don't hit the "off" button while using it.

This is a great purchase. It works quickly and easily, it only took me a couple of uses to get it down very well. The only thing reason I didnt give it all 5 stars is because periodically when you squeeze the handle, you will hit the on/off switch and unknowingly turn off the iron, which you probably wont notice until your hair stops curling. Once you realize you do it though, its easy enough to reposition your pressure so you dont turn it off, so the problem is easily solved.

I was hoping this would give me soft waves and all if did was frizz my hair.

The waver definitely gets hot enough to wave my coarse and straight hair (hair that won't hold a curl) and the wave will stay in for most, if not all, of the day. I read complaints about not being able to set it down, but if you leave the waver open you can set it down on it's ceramic ends, like a tent. It's actually a pretty ingenius design.

I used to have a vidal sassoon waver but the Revlon Jumbo waver definitely gives you bigger waves. Personally I think that the bigger waves looks better. I also like the fact that it's made out of ceramic, rather than the metal wavers.

100% satisfied with mine.
