Revlon 3-Barrel Jumbo Waver

Lately I've been wanting to put some natural body into my hair.Curling irons are too fussy and time consuming and I shy away from the boing-y curls they tend to create.The only time I pick up a curling iron is when I want my hair curled for a formal event.The triple barrel waver concept was really appealing.I went to Rite Aid and picked up Revlon's version and rushed home, eager to try it out.

What a disappointment!First, it is EXTREMELY awkward to use.The design definitely leaves something to be desired.The on/off switch is also inconveniently located and I kept inadvertantly switching the darn thing off while I was trying to fix my hair.It's also VERY heavy and I found myself taking breaks in between waving sections of hair because my arm was literally getting tired.Then, even on a higher than recommended heat setting, the waves did not hold and it took a good 10 seconds of applying the heat to get a wave that was even a little noticeable.The waves did not hold even with curl-enhancing mousse in my hair and hairspray after the waves were in.My hair was flat within a couple of hours.

Needless to say, it went back to Rite Aid the next day.The only plus to this waver is the price.It was only $20 plus tax.Other than that, I can think of no other benefits of this freakish contraption.Save your time, money, and sanity!
