I read so many of the reviews that made it sound like my hair would be sucked up and claimed by this curler. I had visions of having to cut off my hair at the root to release it. I still decided to take a chance on it. I have long hair that is difficult to curl and doesn't hold curl very well, especially in humid weather. I can curl my hair when getting dressed, and by the time I get downstairs, it's straight again.
Because of the past difficulty in curling my hair, I used the highest setting at the longest time. First of all, it beeped and flashed if I put too much hair in it. As a first-time user, it didn't get my hair stuck in it at all. When it beeped and flashed there was a problem, I released it and my hair came out without a problem. After the first use, I think I need to turn down the settings. It definitely made a lot of curl, and the curl didn't fall out even after brushing. There was too much curl and fluffiness for my liking. The next day after sleeping on it, I still had enough wave in my hair that I didn't have to curl it.
I still have some learning to do as to how to use this curler, but I think it will work for me. It's just a matter of experimenting with the amount of curl I want and how close to my head that I want it. Since I wash my hair every other day, I am impressed that the curl lasts for the second day. To- date, I haven't had any other curling method that would last even one day.
UPDATE:
I have now used this curler about 4 times, and have gotten better with it. So far, I haven't had my hair get stuck in it even once. The trick is to keep strand of hair to 1-2 inches at the widest point, and to make sure it all fits in the channel of the curler. The first time I used the curler, I had it set to the high heat setting with the longest curl setting because my hair is usually difficult to curl and doesn't hold curl. I also started the curl within 3 inches of my head. Doing it this way, the style was much too "bushy" for my liking. The second time, I used the low heat setting with the longest curl cycle, and started the curl 4-5 inches from my head. I also held the curler closed for a few seconds past the 3 beeps for done. Doing it this way, the style was great - not bushy, but perfect curls. Using other curling methods, my hair was usually straight the next day after sleeping on it. After using this curler, there was still a lot of body and plenty of waves when I brushed it out. I didn't have to curl it again or pull it back like I have done in the past.
At this point, I would highly recommend this curler for anyone with long, hard to curl hair. Follow the directions that come with the curler, and you won't have any problems with it.

BUY THIS CURLING IRON
Ok, I’m going to be honest with y’all: I am a girl who, up until a week ago, knew how to do like, 4 things to my hair and make it look *somewhat* presentable. I could blow dry it straight, pull it back into some sort of nest on top of my head, put some product in it and let it dry, and sometimes make it look good with a diffuser (I have wavy/slightly curly hair naturally). YOU NEED THIS CURLING IRON.I was terrified of the idea of it at first, but I got it at a reduced price the day or two after Christmas after not getting it from Santa. I wasn’t sure how it was going to work for me because any other hair tool I’ve gotten to make my hair look fabulous I could never figure out (or I was just too lazy to take my time with it). The fact that it kinda “sucks” your hair into it was enough to make me uncomfortable about it at first, but I figured I’d give it a shot because it was a bit cheaper than it was a few days earlier.Y’all. This thing is virtually foolproof. I was nervous the first few curls I did because I was certain it was going to suck my hair into it, get stuck, catch on fire, send me running frantically around the block until I stuck my head in a snow drift, and leave me with a bald spot. But then, this amazing thing happened: I tried to put too much hair into the chamber (because, again, I’m lazy), and it just stopped. It wouldn’t suck the hair into the chamber. It stopped. It forces you to use the appropriate amount of hair for each curl not only for safety, but for optimal results. I’ll even admit that the first time I used it on New Year’s Eve, I was one day post-wash and didn’t feel like washing and drying just to try this thing out, and even though it says for optimal results to use on freshly cleaned, dry hair (I know what you’re thinking: “you lil rebel, you.” And, I am), it still turned out fabulously.LAZY GIRLS, THIS IS YOUR DREAM CURLING IRON. The first time I used it, I used it on the 12 second setting and it took me nearly 45 minutes to get through all my hair (I don’t have especially thick hair, but I have a decent amount of hair). You guys? I’ve used it 3 times in the last week and last night, I’ve gotten so good at it that it only took me about 25 minutes to curl my whole head.I immediately fell in love with this thing, but here’s where I’m sold on it. Yesterday evening, I curled. I went out on the town, things happened that I’m not sure I remember (not due to any brain damage from the heat of the iron, but because of my own poor decision making completely unrelated to this purchase), and it’s cold as balls outside so I was wearing a hat and a hood when I was outside. I went home, slept on it, laid around all day on it (we’ll say I “came down” with a 24 hour “flu”), pulled it back in a ponytail, decided I needed to go get something to eat, took it out of the ponytail, brushed it out, used no extra product (last night I sprayed a minimal amount of extra hold hairspray that I should probably write a review on next), and while it doesn’t look the same as it did yesterday, I’m still getting complimented on it and I still feel fabulous despite my current state. Pictures are attached.
