Holds a curl well , wish it had the Color treated , fine hair and other extra options like the 1.5 inch barrel option has . The 1.5 inch barrel unfortunately just doesn’t hold a curl in my hair so went with this size and it a total game changer . Wish it had a half length clip as one rarely use it entirely it would also minimize the associated crimp . Would also wish the transition of the edges of the clip would be more smooth so when using as a wand the lip crimp is not visible . Otherwise a great product
