SinglePass Curl Ceramic Long Barrel Curling Iron - Graphite : Caused breakage!!

I was on the lookout for a curling iron to create beachy waves on my almost shoulder length hair. Having used a straightener to achieve this look for years, I'd seen how curling irons just create a different type of curl and wanted to try one out. At first, I'd purchased a GHD wand that didn't work with my hair and the curls fell almost immediately.

After reading mixed reviews about this T3, I decided to try it for myself. I think I convinced myself to continue playing around with it about 5 different times before giving up. I couldn't get a nice curl in my hair and the clamp mark left behind was horrible. The final straw was when I'd curled the piece's framing my face. Both sides ended up with the worst crimped section mid strand. They felt wirey and dry. I washed my hair out that night Only to wake up the next day to find the strands on both sides had broken completely! It looks like I tried to give myself bangs or something!

I've read other reviews that had the same thing happen to them and was also told when I returned the item, that I was the second one to return in the last couple of days with that experience.

Why is this thing still being sold?

It may work wonders for some hair types; but I urge you to be cautious if you do buy or just skip this option completely! It's not worth damaging your hair :(
