- I just, I don't want my hair to get stuck.
I don't want my hair to get stuck.
I don't want it to get stuck.
I'm scared.
(upbeat music)
Today, we're going to be testing cheap
versus expensive automatic hair curlers.
- We're also going to be guessing
which is the cheap curler and which is the expensive curler.
- I am familiar with the curling of hair.
- You could say that I'm not a pro.
- I don't typically curl my hair,
but when I do, it's for a special occasion
say I'm doing something
out of the ordinary where I want to feel really cute,
and I want my hair to look cute too.
I will curl my hair.
- I rarely ever curl my hair.
In high school, I curled my hair a lot and
for like every formal event that I go to, I curl my hair.
So I've definitely done it.
- I can't say that I've ever tried an automatic hair curler.
I've seen them before and I've been intrigued.
- I feel like both of them are probably going to work, but
I think one is hopefully going to work significantly better.
If it's significantly more expensive.
- Does price point really matter?
Do they all do the same thing?
I'm a little scared.
I've never used an automatic hair curler, but you know
we're going to get into it.
And hopefully it turns out good.
I mean, we can only hope.
So...
Let's try.
(upbeat music)
Let's get into these
automatic hair curlers.
- So first off we have this one.
Ooh, sexy beauty.
That's what I'm here for baby.
- Hm.
This concerns me.
I'm nervous.
Does this not make anyone else nervous?
This makes me nervous.
I feel like my hair is going to get caught in this.
- Oh,
this does not feel expensive at all.
There's like pieces kind of breaking and it's dirty.
I don't know about this one.
- Right?
We've got some pink tissue paper,
Love that.
And interesting, interesting, interesting interesting.
Twirl 360.
Now this looks a little more luxe.
- Ooh. Okay. Come on like this
packaging
miles better than the other one.
It says that this curler will inspire you
to be the best version of yourself.
So I don't know, that doesn't usually come for cheap.
- If you were me and you were looking at these two,
which one would look a little bit more luxe?
(upbeat music)
- Well, we'll see
we're about to try them out.
Let's go.
(upbeat music)
- So our first curler is this one.
This is called the Rizen professional hair curler.
(beeping)
- After plugging this beautiful, incredible curling
iron into five different plugs, all five
of which I also plugged my phone charger in
to make sure it wasn't the plug that was the issue.
I even phoned a friend.
I asked Spencer if I was an idiot
and that this wasn't the power button
and I just couldn't figure it out.
But it has come to my attention,
that this is just broken
and simply won't turn on.
We're just going to have to put the whole thing on hold.
Now. I'm quite sure that this is the cheap one though,
cause she won't even turn on.
We'll hopefully check back later.
When I have a working curler.
I'm at Spencer's now,
ready to pick up my cheap, probably,
or maybe really awful expensive curler.
Thank you. Love you.
- Am scared.
What scares me most about this one is this.
I don't want my hair to get stuck.
I don't don't want it to get stuck.
Am scared.
- I have been spending the entire time reading these
instructions. I'm just like, not totally clear on them.
Oh, so a little bit confused
because I thought this was supposed to be automatic curlers
but I think this is just like a helper.
- All right, well
we're going to try it.
- Oh, it is supposed to be the end of your hair,
and follow the direction of the line
Okay. Now you just guide her in,
I guess
- I can't put the ends in though.
Not good for my ends.
- What do you do if your hair is longer than the barrel?
Huh?
- Oh, this is, this is just confusion.
- Ow!
- So that just,
it did make a curl.
(upbeat music)
- First of all, Whoa, look at that curl.
- This, honestly, though, like it, it did work.
I really thought it wasn't gonna work at all.
- Here's the dilemma with this curler I feel
like I'm going to have some Cindy, Lou who?
Shirley temple girl from any kind
of situation going on with my hair,
it's not the look am usually going for.
- It does guide the hair quite easily.
I'm not gonna lie
It doesn't feel expensive.
I'll say that.
Like even just when I'm holding it
I feel like this is like a $15 to $20 product.
- Like if you didn't know how to curl your hair
I guess this would be a good guide.
If you're a person who knows how to curl your hair
this is just gonna frustrate you more than anything.
- But you'll see, like the whole
top half is not gonna be curled with the half
that's straight because it doesn't go all the way.
She's not getting the attention she deserves.
- I'm not looking forward to curling my bangs.
This is a hot mess.
♪ - I don't like this. ♪
First of all, I don't think I can curl my bangs
with this thing,
am not going to recover from this.
This is instant regret, instant regret
- It's done now, this is the final product.
I don't know if I think they're going to
last.The way that the curls only start under my cheekbone.
I don't love.
Half of my head isn't curled and
that is definitely a deal breaker for me.
- Am upset that all my hair is curled in the same direction
because that's just not the journey I'm usually on
when am curling my hair.
It's not great.
It's not horrible.
It's not great.
- One thing
I will say though that's positive is it's really safe,
like I can't burn myself on that thing.
Cause the plastic brain kind of protects the
actual heated part.
- My hair looks shiny.
The curls are good.
I wish it could get closer to the roots
so that I had a little bit more curl up here.
- I don't know.
I'm really hoping that that's the cheap one.
(upbeat music)
- And now for the moment that we've all
or that I've at least been waiting for
her.
It's so pretty.
It just looks
expensive.
- The T3 twirl 360
am very excited to try this one
given the experience I just had with this one.
How to use it?
- You clamp the end of your hair
and then you just rotate your wrist
and you can rotate it allegedly in either direction.
And then apparently, whichever way you rotate your wrist
the barrel will just start moving
and then like do it for you.
- Let's get into this.
We're going to try it.
(whirring sound)
- That's pretty cool.
- Huh?
Holy s***
Oh and look, it goes all the way up to my head.
Wait, how do I get it off?
- That's the kind of curl I'm into
less this, more this.
So that's very exciting.
Wow. This is going to be fun.
- So, press lever to release the curl.
Huh?
That was
so cool.
Wow this is going to take literally a fraction of the time.
- Like is that not so easy?
I don't even have to move my wrist.
- There she is.
Wow. Wow.
Should I try rotating my wrist the other way?
Just like to see if it's true,
like they're going to lie.
This is actually insane.
This is so much fun.
Am having so much fun.
I've never had this much fun curling my hair.
This is the expensive one.
It has to be.
- That's nice.
See, I like that
I can go in different directions with this.
You have to be careful
since it's an automatic curler not to go too close
to your ear,
and these kinds of curls are very much more
what I'm looking for.
Whereas these are like really tight curls
and it's definitely the size of the barrel.
That makes a difference in terms
of like the size and like volume of the curl.
Okay. Here's the thing.
The bangs are going to be a huge dilemma
and I'm just going to curl them myself.
Cause I don't even want to risk, possibly burning
my face.
But at least I have that option.
Ooh
- Oh, okay.
I just finished and I'm like kind of
obsessed with this side.
It's definitely looser.
Like the curls are objectively looser
but I also think I kind of made that decision on my own.
- This just looks very much cohesive, smooth,
you know
a little bit more relaxed, whereas this just looks wild.
Honestly, the look of the two, isn't that different.
I think this one looks a little bit like
more natural
like is giving me beachy kind of vibes
but they don't look that different.
The experience however,
miles apart doing this one took me a total
of literally 10 minutes.
This one took me 30.
This one was very stressful.
And also technically this took me a day and 30 minutes
because I had to get a whole other curling iron.
This one worked right away,
was so fast
so easy and there was literally zero effort in it.
And I think it looks really cute.
Final guess,
this one has to be the expensive one.
Let's check the prices.
(upbeat music)
- Now,
for the reveal.
This
is $16.99,
and I believe that,
that checks out.
Now, I said it felt heavy.
I said it felt a little bit more luxe.
Did I know that it was $230 worth of luxe?
That's a lot of money.
- I wouldn't buy this automatic curler.
I would truthfully just buy a normal curling iron,
cause I think that they work a lot better.
There's a lot of flaws with the cheap one.
Out of five,
I would give the cheap one, a two and a half,
mostly because mine didn't even work when I first got it.
And also just because of the whole
it didn't go as far as I wanted.
And it also wasn't really automatic.
I guess, right?
But I don't know if I would pay $230 for that one
but also it was so fun.
I would give it somewhere
between a three and a half and a four.
- I understand why it's $230
but did I expect them to be $230?
No!
This, I can see being $16.99.
I have no qualms with that price.
So,
find you a happy medium.
- I have a date to get to.
So I'm gonna go.
And hopefully my girlfriend likes my curls
both cheap and expensive.
