THE PERFECTOR...

Shanus — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 19:56:29 GMT

Last night on Friday Night Beauty, they had the Perfector w/ interchangeable barrels. Short/Med. & Med./Long.

My hair is almost chin length and layered, but would only use this gadget when wanted to wear my hair smooth (by the way, growing out top layers to bob style).

Which do I order? Feared the short one would make curls which I have naturally.

@Shanus If you have thick hair you will have luck with this gadget. I have short hair and own the 1/2 in. and I would have to hold the darn thing for 5 minutes before I would get a curl you get from a roller. Yes, I can run it through for a wavy look but that's about it. Not worth the money IMO. If your hair is going to be one length I don't think you have a need for this product.

@Katcat1 Just read the reviews which I usually do first. Bad comments. Thanks, but I’ll pass. Guess you weren’t thrilled w/ it either.

@Shanus I think the med/long would be your best bet for smoothing.

@SeaMaiden Bad reviews. I passed. Thanks, though.

If you don't want curls then get the larger barrel. I own the Perfecter in the 1-1/2 inch size and I use it mostly for smoothing my long hair. I can also use it to create a slight flip on my ends...not curl but flip.

Mine is not the interchangeable one, which I have read bad reviews about that one. @Shanus

@Shanus I bought the larger barrel perfector several years ago....it is my go to appliance when I want to smooth my hair which now is past my shoulders. It works very well. I have silver white hair and it does not burn it or yellow it. I have never had any issues with break down or anything.

I love my Perfecter. Saves me a lot of time to get my hair looking great. If I didn't have it then I would have to blow dry with a round brush. Then use a flat iron to get it to look smooth. Too much work! I'm so happy to just dry my hair whatever which way then smooth it out with the Perfecter. Looks like have a nice blow-out when I'm done.

I also own the Perfector and it sits in the pile of heat styling purchases that are a fail. Since my hair barely touches my shoulder I got the larger barrel. My biggest issue was it seemed to make my hair start to fall out after a month. Not having model hair and natural curls it did not do what was happening on screen. It was less heat and trouble to do one pass with my best Chi iron. The large probably would not give you any volume and make your hair to straight.

Me too...can't live without mine.. I dry first with my Buttercup dryer and smooth out my nearly shoulder length fine slight wavy hair due to gray which I color...so it's frizzy often due to color/highlights. The Perfecter helps SO much with that for me!!

I use the Perfector after to style..can;t say enough about it for my hair.

Have 2 in our shore condo and same 2 at home....that's a good productin my book to buy them. (ebay has zillions!) but I bought mine here and all work fine.

I own the older original models gray colored non-digital, and they are still working great for years now... I have the digital larger barrels too...use both. Looks like a nice blowout like you say afterwards. Funny how people either don't care for it or just plain love it like we do. Every female in my family 4 women and my niece use all like the Perfecter. My mom liked it too when she was here on Earth <3

I tried the one that was supposed to be used with one hand. I returned it. It just didn't work for me. I did lose my hair due to illness and now that it has grown back, it is just not the same. The top is extremely fine while the back has become very wiry.

I did find a perfector at our CVS for much less and it helps with the back of my head. Nothing works on the front/top.
