All "Plugged-In"

Greetings, all beauties of the world!

So, I came across this 'mini reverse cone curling wand' by "Plugged-In".  And if you are unfamiliar with the tapered clipless curling wand, its one of the "newer" (but not really anymore) hair styling tools out there.  The reversed cone curling wand is exactly what the name describes.  It's simply the original curling wand revered/flipped around.  I thought that this would be a great addition to my hair styling tools.  Little did I know, I should have gotten the original curling wand, instead of the reversed curling wand.  Reason being, it doesn't make it any easier to style your hair.  I thought, since the curling wand was already flipped; its PERFECT!  Because you want the wider end of the wand at the root of your hair.  It saves me, from having to do that odd reach around technique that you have to do with the regular curling wand and flip it upside-down...WRONG!  I wasn't thinking properly that day...lol.  So when I opened it up to test it out.  Ugh!  That's when I realized,  I can't curl my hair without running into my other arm...OMG!  Although, it is good for styling your friends hair.  But for styling your own, I would suggest go with the original design.  I know, it is my own fault though. lol  You live and learn I guess.  But I do still love this hair tool!  But I'm probably going to purchase the original curling wand as well.  Then I will have both, and I can do a comparison!  Hey!  Maybe my mind will change, once I try out the regular one... XD

Plugged-In Mini Reverse Cone Curling Wand Review:

Pros:

*Heats up fast!

*Heats up to 400f

*Light weight

*Ceramic and tourmaline technology

*Pretty in PINK! ;)

*Swivel cord

*Hanging hook

*Travel size

*Cool tip, so no burnt fingers. :)

*Comes with heat protecting finger glove (for even more finger protection!)

*Has an Indicator Light

*Plastic counter rest, located between reversed wand & pink handle.

*Works well for shorter hair

*Leaves hair soft and shiny

When using this tool, it was quite easy and painless. :)  I love the curls you get from this tool.  I'm glad I now have this tool to add to my collection of hair tools.  Plus, it is so cute!  It gets the job done right and fast!  I held my hair around the curling wand for 5 sec, and the results were perfect!   I wasn't even trying, it was just a quick test run.  And I got the results, shown in the photo below.  Pretty impressive I must say!

It's my own preference, that it not be a reversed cone when styling my own hair.  But everyone is different.  But some of you out there might want to know, and appreciate that little shared knowledge. ;) 

Cons:  

*No heat setting dial
*Wand is slippery, causing hair to slip and slide

*Reversed cone (more of a preference opinion for me)

*Short wand, not as useful for those with longer hair (But remember this one is the mini travel size one)

The curling wand only has an on and off switch, so you can't set the temperature from 200-400f.  Once it's turned on, it heats up to the max heat of 400f.  It doesn't have this option, because it is the mini version of the curling wand.  The regular size one has a heat setting dial.  So I was aware of this "issue" when purchasing it.  The rod size works fine with my hair length.  But for those with longer hair past the shoulders, I would suggest getting the regular size one.  Unless you really want a smaller travel size curling wand, and you don't mind that it is a bit short.

Before - Straight

After - Curled

All-in-all, I would recommend this tool to friends and whom ever else is interested in purchasing a reverse cone curling wand. ;)
