Cortex Professional Digital 4-in-1 Titanium Clipless Curling Iron

This thing smells. It's weird because it doesn't seem like it's getting hot enough to curl my hair but by the smell of things you'd think it was melting my hair. This thing was a bad purchase.

I received this as a gift from my husband lady week. Looked cool, I was impressed! However trying to use it is another story.
I constantly change the temperature down while curling and it never seems hot enough. Even at 450 I feel like it's not making the curls hold. Another thing I don't like is its impossible to change the rods when hot. You have to wait 15 mins for them to cool before you can Saftey change them. Product looks great but it's not a quality product. I wish I could return it. :-(

From day one this thing never worked well, would never hold a curl. I thought I was doing it wrong so I brought it to my stylist to see if she could help me out and perhaps show me what I was doing wrong. Turns out this thing just doesn't get hot enough. It might be my thick hair but I think it's really just a toy. It says it was designed for professional use but I don't think so. Not a good product. Oh, forgot to mention, you can't even change the interchangeable barrels while hot. You have to wait till it cools down since you actually have to grab the heated part to change it. It's just a poor design.

I have really long hair (almost to my back) and it would usually take 45min-1hour to curl my hair... With this wand it takes me 10-15min (I usually use the 2" to make big waves). Curls never really stayed in my hair for a long time, but with the Cortex 4-in-1 Titanium Wand the curls stay in for at least 2 days without needing to heat the wand too much or needing to use an excessive amount of hairspray or hair product. I would definitely recommend using the glove if this is your first time with a curling wand. I also love how you can make so many different types of curls with this wand.

A difficulty I had was that it was difficult to remove/change the barrels... although that might have just been because of my inexperience with the wand (but it can be done!). In addition, it is difficult to avoid pressing buttons while curling, so I accidentally change the temperature very often without noticing.

I did a lot of research before I bought this product and I am very happy with it, so overall I would definitely recommend this product.

Hope this helped! Enjoy :)

Well, I got this at a great price on Folica.com so I was excited about that. The bad news is it doesn't really curl the hair well. I have to hold it for over 45 seconds for each batch of hair... That's crazy! Plus it just doesn't hold very well. I have tried all 4 sizes and they are all very slow. Very disappointed.

This iron broke on my first use! The iron was only used for about 6-7 minutes when the metal part (where you wrap the hair around to curl) fell out of the plastic part, hitting my hand and burning me fairly badly. Melted plastic also got on my bathroom counter where it fell. I guess it over heated and melted down. I already have taken this back, thank goodness Folica took it back. I am looking for a different model from another company. Any suggestions? This one was not safe!

This aluminum version is very sleek and works great!!!
