New In Box - used briefly a couple times but I don't have the patience to learn to curl my own hair well. From the Kristen Ess website: People always ask me why they would need a curling iron versus a curling wand. The answer is simple: You use a curling iron when you want sleeker, shinier, and more polished waves/curls. Use this 1" curling iron to get beachy, textured waves, or small to medium curls. This is my go-to curling iron for bobs, lobs, and pixie cuts. HIGHLIGHTS POLISHED CURLS + BEACHY WAVES Bend the ends for a more polished look or slide the curling iron straight through your ends for a more undone, relaxed look.
