So glad that I purchased this!

Quick Take: good value
This iron is absolutely amazing! I have NEVER been able to curl my hair and the Bombshell makes it so quick and easy. I have thick hair that quickly releases curl, but for some reason with this iron the curl lasts forever...even when I don't use hairspray. I can run my fingers through it, brush it, whatever...it never falls out. I love this so much and would highly recommend it!

Nice curls BUT!
-04.17.13
When I wear the glove and grab my hair in sections it creates static. When I would take off the glove I would burn my hand as I would wrap my hair around the wand.

Worth every penny!!
-03.25.13
Quick Take: a hair necessity!!
I must admit that I put off purchasing this product for a long time because of the price, but I decided to treat myself one day and this was my splurge. It was worth every penny!! I have naturally slightly wavy hair & I wasn't sure if I needed a curling iron (I have a regular one that I used once), but after talking to the salesperson I decided to go for it. What a difference!! I just grab random sections of hair and curl in whatever direction I feel like...and voila! Amazing sexy hair with incredible volume!! I honestly hate that I have to wear my hair up for work or I would go in 'vixen' everyday!! I have actually come home from work & curled my hair just to watch TV because it makes me feel so sexy!! I must add that this is a beautiful product as well...purple with a green rainbow hue...
My only note of caution...use the glove that it comes with it, I didn't because I figured I would be fine & of course burned myself immediately!! Not a horrible burn, but I now use the glove every time!!

Sexy sexy hair!!
-03.13.13
I am not the type of person to section out my hair, brush each part, spray each part then curl & curl that part until it is perfect...then repeat all over entire head.
I like to apply my thermal protector and just grab sections of hair (large, medium and small) and wrap them around the iron, count to 10 and I'm done. Onto next section I grab.
With this iron this is so simple to do. I don't have to worry about any small hairs getting caught or knotted as with traditional irons. Using this iron my hair looks like I had a stylist spend hours on it!! The waves are incredibly sexy...my hair is soft & shiny...and the volume is outrageous! I honestly debated purchasing this because of the price, but I must say I'm so happy that I gave in and treated myself. It does an amazing job with very little time and effort...plus the iron itself is beautiful being a purple and green with a hazy shimmer to it! Definitely a must have in my books!!

one if not the best curler I have owned. It was worth the price. I used to hate the time it took to curl my hair, now it is easy and fun!

not for me
-02.05.13
I dunno. I gave this a go for a few days. Didn't like it at all. Burnt me also. Returned it. Maybe I just couldn't get the hang of it. I noticed a lot of other people really liked it so I guess it depends on the individual. I just think you can get the same outcome with a cheaper curling iron.

I don't write reviews unless the product is very deserving and this product most certainly deserves it! My hair had never held a nice curl until the bombshell, nor have I ever been able to curl my hair to perfection with another tool! Definitely worth the $!

Smokin' Hot!
-01.29.13
Quick Take: hot, easy to use, versatile
This curling iron works really well! Watch the instruction video, this is not a "standard" curling iron. It does get HOT. Use the glove and make sure to give yourself time. I was rushing and burned my neck. It looked like a 2nd degree burn. Beautiful curls, great curling iron, nice headband.

Couldn't be better!
-01.19.13
I would dread curling my hair but after this purchase I look for any excuse to curl my hair. Im done with my hair in less than 10 minutes. You can make lose curls by just twirling the ends 2 times or go all out. And the curls stay put!

The only way curls stay all day.

Quick Take: amazing
When I curl with a traditional curler, or even a flat iron my curls/waves never last. With the bombshell, they last all day.

Great product
-01.05.13
This is the first curling iron I've ever owned where the curls last more than twenty minutes in my hair so I was impressed. Its very easy to use and I'd definitely recommend it if you have had trouble with curly styles in the past like I have.

AMAZING!!

I have thick long Greek hair and my aunt who's a hair dresser got me this for Christmas and I'm in love! It's so simple to use, no nasty burn smell, automatic shut off, super quick heat up and the curls last all day and look just a beautiful the next day! This is definitely the absolute best curler I have ever used and the added plus that it's my favorite color purple and anpretty headband for free is a plus!

Bouncy bouncy curls
-12.16.12
Quick Take: great for creating wavy curls
The Sultra Bombshell creates serious curl. Once you get accustomed to how it works, which was a bit difficult at first for me, the curls come out beautiful. You can comb out the curls and get the lovely wavey look too.

I'm sad to write that this curling wand did not work for me at all. I loved the color of it but not the performance. The curls didn't last not even an hour. I exchanged it for the The Bombshell Cone Rod Curling Iron, which I love.

Not what is cracked up to be
-11.28.12
It gives the appearance of loose curls, more like a beach look.. If thats what you are looking for, it´s great.. But that is pretty much all. I still prefer the 3/4 inch, it seems to last more, and you can do all types of curls with it and the curls last for days, while with the 1 inch, there is nothing left when you wake up.

AMAZING!
-11.25.12
Most curling wands leave my ends looking dry and bent. This wand works like a curling iron and distributes heat evenly giving your hair perfect curls! The curls look like a curling iron did them but with a sultry bombshell look! All I can say it that this is well worth the money. Most curling wands leave my hair feeling dry and damaged. This one does not. Don't hesitate in buying this wand. You will not need any other heat tools!

Quick Take: easy to use, good quality, even heating
My hair hates curls with a normal curling iron and falls flat with in minutes. I bought this after reading several reviews and a bit of research. I love this curling rod my hair holds curls for up to two days now. It's easy to use and the instructions are easy to follow. Definitely worth the cash.

The Most Dangerous Beauty Weapon
-11.11.12
Quick Take: dangerous product, left a permanent scar on my arm
I used to curl my hair every morning with a straightening iron ,but i could never get the perfect curls every time. So, I purchased this hoping it will help me get those perfect curls every time. Though I'm no professional hair salonist I'm quite a pro when it comes to styling my hair and this burned my arm. Though it might have been my fault this rod itself is just too dangerous. I'm returning it today because I'm afraid it will later be my face and not my arm that scars from the burn. An extremely dangerous product.

Quick Take: good value, clipless curling wand, ceramic technology
I happen to be a big fan of the Sultra Bombshell. It curls my hair unlike any other curling iron I've ever tried. The curls are long-lasting and even look good the next day. I love this new purple version. It is super pretty and the headband that comes with it is really pretty.
