So as you guys can see its a large barrel curling iron, Works how the usual ones do! What I noticed straight away is how lightweight this iron is, Its very comfortable to hold and the handle section is oval rather than round which also makes it more manageable to work with.
The iron has a lit-up display which shows the levels, Hi - Lo and which you are set to. You can adjust it with the buttons below the screen (Sorry for stating the obvious a little haha) When being held it feels high in quality and is aesthetically pleasing...and shiny! (we all like a bit of shine)
This tong is great for big loose curls/waves and would be great if you like to wear your hair with the 'beachy wave' look. The curls did drop though after an hour or two so I wouldn't suggest to use it for a big occasion - Maybe whack out the hairspray!
*Vidal Sassoon - Pro shine curl tong
I have been using this tong for a week or so now and I have been enjoying it, Its great for those days where I need to be out the door because it heats up in seconds and when my hair is straight I just run some loose curls through the ends and go! As the name suggests it does also boost the shine in my hair after I use it - The image above dosent show it very well but it does in real life!
I always touch on the negative points too though as there are always some for every product! - As I said I like that this tong creates loose curls, but I don't think its so good at creating a good strong curl (if that makes any sense) and I think thats why the curls do drop quite quickly. Its not the best curling iron I have tried. I have tried to look up how much this product is, In some places it was £67 and some places £29 I believe it is worth the latter.
Let me know if any of you have tried this tong and what you think of it. Its been a pleasure to try out!

What a great review!! I've always used my GHDs to curl my hair but I definitely think its time to invest in some curlers. This review has definitely helped me with my decision. xxx
I love the effect it gives to your hair! Would love to try this out

I love too how you weighted up the pros and cons, it sounds okay but i don't think i'd pay £60-something for them. x
These look great I use mark hill rock chick waver which is pretty similar in size! I love big barrel curlers and wavers? X
I have a tony&guy curling iron and its so heavy to use, so on the lookout for a new one just to use on a everyday basis, think i might have just found it :)

It's a shame the curls don't hold up for long; I'm on the lookout for a large barrel iron that'll give me bouncy curls all day, not just in the morning!

I have three curling irons myself and I still can't seem to master the art of curling my hair! I really enjoyed this post because you gave an incredibly honest opinion even though the product was given to you which many bloggers don't do!

hi am maria john. i want to thank Dr ALuta for bringing back my husband, we broke up fo r more than 4 month and he told me that he will never want to see me in his life again. i love him so much to the extend that i could not do any thing again, i was confused and depress due to the love i had for him.i did everything i could do to have him come back to me but all went in vain. so i decided to contact a spell caster, i did not believe in spell casting i just want to try it may be it would work out for me. i contacted dr Aruvi for help, he told me that he have to cast a love spell on him, i told him to it. after 5 days my called me and started to apologize for leaving me and also he told me that he still love me. i was very happy and i thank dr Aruvi for helping get back my ex husband back to my hands. his spell is the the greatest all over the world, it was the love spell he cast on my ex that make him come back to me. all you ladies who want back the husband back i want you to contact Dr Aruvi at the following email address and get all your problem solve..No problem is too big for him to solve..Contact him direct at freemercifultemple@yahoo.com and get your problems solve like me
its always good to shop around imagine you just bought it and paid 67£ then walked into another shop a week later and saw it for 29£ id be gutted

I can never curl my hair with those curling tongs. It's the release-and-twirl step i just fail at. Might purchase this and give curling tongs another go!
