Beachwaver PRO 1.25 : Definitely not for thick, coarse hair

I read lots of reviews before I decided on a curling iron, and I chose this one. It is definitely not for thick coarse hair. I have been curling my hair for years and am pretty good at it, but I wanted a 1.25 inch wand to complement my 1 inch one. I could see how this could work for thinner hair, as you need to use really small sections. Even though I am some of the thickest hair I have seen, it usually would take me 15 minutes with my 1 inch wand. This took nearly 45 minutes and some sections of my hair wouldn't even take a curl. My hair also smells like I was using a hot tool. I gave this two stars because clearly this would work for some people, but definitely consider another option if you have thick hair.
