I have extremely thick hair. Stylists remember me when I walk in, and I
have had numerous stylists tell me my hair is the thickest hair they
have ever been challenged with. Yep... no lie, my hair is challenging. They see me coming and they all run for the hills, because my hair can take an hour just to cut, and 2 hours to style.
However my hair is also gorgeous, thick, and full whenever I find the
time to straighten it with my hot iron tool. The only drawback is that
due to it being so thick, it also feels weighed down, and does not have
any bounce to it.
I have tried using numerous styling curlers, and most of them worked
well, where others would just frizz up my hair, and not actually curl or
style. I though, have never been fond of curling irons because I get
snarled, tangled, and burnt all to often when trying to string sections
of hair into the stupid thing. Not to mention it could add another hour
to my hair styling routine, which already takes an hour. 2 hours a day on hair is just ridiculous!
When I came across the Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling Combo at my
local Target (or was it Walmart?) on sale for only $19.99, I went ahead
and gave it a try. It looked like a hair tool that was easy to use, and
best of all it featured a bristled attachment that would make it nearly
impossible for my hair to tangle into it.
The Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling Combo also came with a smaller
bristled brush. The brush attached to the curling tool seemed to be made
of hard plastic. I wasn't sure how that attachment would work, because
it seemed like something that would knot my hair up.
The Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling Combo has 3 settings. One low, high,
and off button which is located on the Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling
Combo's handle. A bad spot for it because when I used it I found I was
flicking it off whenever I moved my hand around it.
My Use:
First I had to straighten my hair. There is no way in hell I could
bring this device to my normal un-styled hair. It would of ended up
snarled within my nest somewhere.
I decided to use the smaller bristle attachment, so I took off the one
that was already on the Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling Combo, and I popped
in the bristled brush.
Next I turned the iron on the full blast high mode, and began trying to style my straightened hair.
My initial plan was to try and swoop my hairs ends towards my face for
a bob type look. I have short shoulder length hair as of now, and
seeing how the short cut is the new look- only everyone's short cut is nicely accenting their face. I wanted the same look, and thought I would get it by using the Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling Combo.
No such luck though ladies!
I brushed in a swooping motion to hopefully create a wave or curl, but
I got nothing. Not a damn thing. My hair seemed to repel this machine,
and it was far too weak when it came to blowing hot air out, and
creating heat, which in turn would create a curl.
I went at one section of my hair till my arm grew tired, and finally I
gave up on the damn thing. The result? Nothing! Absolutely nothing,
Nada, zilch, zero. Maybe those with thin hair, or thinning hair would
have better luck with this frigging pile of plastic.
I ended up packing the Conair 1 ½" Hot Air Curling Combo up and returning it for a refund.

Nope. A waste for those with thick unruly hair. A waste for those with
pin straight hair. Good for those with close to no hair! Blah! Junk.
