She's still in her pajamas.

With a regular wand the hot barrel is out in the open, and I was the one twisting it by hand, right next to her skin. That's why she flinched, and why I rushed every curl.

With LOCKA the hot barrel stays inside the housing. The insulated, slotted housing sits around the ceramic-coated barrel, so the hot part stays inside while her hair turns. I always do it for her, and neither of us is holding our breath anymore.

The problem was never her hair. It was my wrist: wrapping a section around a wand at the right angle, on a kid who won't sit still.

Now I slide one section into the slot and press the arrow. LOCKA turns the hair by itself, left or right, so every curl gets the same even wrap. All I do is hold it still.

With the old wand I never knew when to let go. Too soon and the curl dropped. Too long and I second-guessed the heat.

LOCKA beeps when the curl is ready. I slide it out and take the next section. No counting, no guessing, and the curls on the left look like the curls on the right.

Picture day always ended the same way: she got the curls, and my hair went up in a clip because there was no time left.

LOCKA has 3 heat levels, 320°F, 356°F and 392°F. I turn it down for her hair and up for mine, and the same three steps work on the back of my own head. 7:50, out the door, curls on both of us.

Not a miracle. Just no hot wand near her neck. And if it isn't right for your mornings, you don't keep it.

Use LOCKA for 30 days. If the curls aren't what you wanted, email us within 30 days of delivery and we refund you to your original payment method. One email is all it takes.
