I’ve literally just received these in the post this morning and was feeling rather lucky since it’s my works night out tonight. I had a little look at the demonstration video on the website and figured it looked pretty simple. Wrong.
This is the biggest waste of £40 I’ve ever spent. I stood in the mirror for about 35 minutes trying to get my hair to curl, even slightly, to no avail. I did manage to make one, just one, tiny little ringlet but as mentioned above it was only in the last 2-3 inches of hair.
I finally gave up, lucky really considering all I was really doing was straightening the same pieces of hair over and over again! Not the best idea.
If you’re thinking of buying these, for goodness sake put your money away, there are much better things to spend it on.

My daughter has just bought one of the You Curl in a desire to acquire curled locks. She has beautiful, long, thick but fine, glossy hair and after trying these as per instructions the only thing that happened was that a crease was left near the root and there was a great deal of static left in her hair. After buying useless curling tongs last year and now this useless piece of tat, I hope she will accept that her hair looks far more attractive than anything these useless gadgets can or cannot conjure up.

I have long, thick, straight, smooth, layered hair. I can create a ‘curl’ with these irons, however, more often than not it amounts to a ringlet of the last 2-3 inches of hair.

I really don’t like the way the plates ‘grab’ the hair, the ceramic seems sticky and doesn’t glide at all, and where the plates snatch during the curling procedure, you’re left with a horizontal kink. The action has to be smooth and completed in one pass. I’ve tried a couple of products – iron oil and heat treatments that I normally use with my striaghteners, but they haven’t improved the result with the You Curl.

It needs to get hotter too; it takes all 220 degrees from my Kodos for a pleasing result, the You Curl reaches 180. The instructional video belies the random results you get with this tool. Obviously it would work better if a (very patient) friend did it for you – they’re a faff to use.

Even though they were only £40, I feel robbed.
