I LOVE my new Conair Instant Heating Curling Iron! It gets hot so fast, I don't have to wait around waiting for it to curl my hair. The barrel is the perfect size for my personal styling needs. I am always in a rush either preplanned or spur of the moment I have to do my hair before I go anywhere. This innovative Conair product has saved me quite a few words with the hubby, who hates to wait for me to do my hair, lol. he cord twists around so that it does not get all tangled up, this also saves me time and spats. Anyone with my kind of life style or always on the go should definately purchase one...
