When I received the opportunity to try the Sultra Bombshell Pink Rod Curling Iron I have to admit I was pretty stoked. I had been wanting to try a clipless curling iron for some time now, but just never got around to reading reviews or deciding which one I wanted. I knew I wanted a clipless Iron because there are about a zillion and one times I have managed to ruin my hair with the clip. Either curing the wrong way, which added a crimp in my hair, or having my hair get tangled in the clip and it looking like a fried mess once I wrestled it free. I knew that the clipless style was for me.
What I really liked about the Sultra Bombshell Clipless Rod Curling Iron was:
- It has a rapid heat up. No having to wait around for me to start styling.
- It has an auto shut off safety feature. Even though I'm usually good about unplugging appliances after I use them, there is always that "one time" they one can forget and then there are tragic results.
- It has a two year warranty! Trust me. Curling irons can last a long time, but if you have a problem it's nice to know you're protected.
- It has a durable, heat resistant, lightweight body. Nothing worse than getting fatigued curling your hair! Am I right? This Sultra Bombshell is light and does not make my arms tired while using it!
- Last but not least, A ceramic barrel which is snag free and creates shiny curls.
The Sultra Bombshell also boasts a constant, even 360°F heat, a 9 ft, no tangle swivel cord, Universal Voltage and a Complimentary styling glove and iron pad included
The 1" barrel is great for creating luscious bouncy and shiny waves in my hair. I found that my hair held the curl longer while using this iron and was far shiner than I had ever seen. Using a smaller diameter barrel would result in ringlet curls, which is great for some looks, but most of the time I just want some bounce, volume and a nice controlled wave to my hair. The 1" barrel from the Sultra Bombshell does just that. Best yet. I don't have to stand there for what seems like an eternity for the iron to work. The high heat makes it a cinch to create that fantastic curl/wave!
The Sultra Bombshell Pink Rod Curling Iron comes with a Felt mat in which to lay your iron on, in between curling and while it is heating up.
It also comes with a styling glove.
There were just 2 things I was less than thrilled about the Sultra Bombshell
1) The temperature was not adjustable. I wish I could adjust the temperature, because I have very fine hair and too high heat will damage it.
2) The styling glove is not very heat resistant. It works for a short period of time, but I would not recommend that you use it while directly touching the iron. It felt like my hand was getting way too hot while I was holding down the end of my hair while using it.
But other than those 2 things, I really have no complaints. I just use a different styling glove when I use the Sultra Bombshell and I have had no issues with it. The high heat just means that I don't use it on my hair as long as other with thicker hair would. No problem either.
Now here is what sold me on the Sultra Bombshell.
a) It's pink and in support of Breast Cancer awareness, Sultra is donating a portion of the proceeds of The Bombshell Pink to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
AND
b) The end result!
Umm...helloo! Look at my hair!?! It looks so freakin' awesome and I'm so pleased with it because I didn't have to go to a salon to get it to look like this!
Do you NEED this? If you want shiny, bouncy waves that last for hours and hours then YES! The Sultra Bombshell Pink retails for $130. But for ONLY $99, you can purchase it from Nordstrom as it is still listed as a Nordstrom Exclusive! Think of all the money you spend on other inferior curling irons and styling sprays and possible repairing treatments from using irons that damage your hair, and I bet that adds up to more than $130. So yeah. It's worth it! You can also purchase the Sultra The Bombshell Pink directly from www.sultra.com for $130
your hair looks beautiful! I want one!
ReplyDeleteI tried out this Sultra the Bombshell in Sephora a while back and (mistakenly) went with the Sephora flat iron instead. The Sultra is still high on my list. Thanks for sharing the Nordstrom Exclusive! I will definitely check that out. Also... Nordstrom triple rewards points start tomorrow!! Your hair looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is some "Victoria Secret, I wanna get laid" sort of hair! I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteNow that's the hair I want! *stares at my fine limp strands in the mirror*
ReplyDeleteI bought the Sedu version which is the same but with different heat settings
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I want hair like that! How long did it take?
ReplyDeleteWow! That's some awesome hair. lol
ReplyDeleteWow. That is some glorious hair. I want your hair. Please give it to me now. K? thanks.
ReplyDeleteHair is gorgeous! It does look like a sex toy though! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow that is some bombshell hair!!
ReplyDeleteIf my hair were longer I would totally lust after this! But, it's going shorter.
Fabulous!
Gorgeous hair! I hope you went out that night!
ReplyDeleteI'm officially coming to steal your hair. Every time I see this it reminds me. LOL
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get the burnt smell to your hair? I bought the chi orbit and while I like my curls they don't really last as I have stick straight very long very fine hair. It is also not adjustable and I believe heats to about 410 degrees. Too hot for my hair. In order for me to get it to curl I am left with a burnt smell to my hair which is really undesirable. I am obviously damaging my hair. I am wanting to bring it back and try this but I want to make sure I won't have the same issue. Your hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Bellina: You cannot adjust the heat on this curling iron. That's why I use a thermal protective styling spray and a thermal protective leave in conditioner. I only leave the Sultra Iron on my hair for a few seconds. I have not had a burning scent, when using this curler. However, everyone's hair is different and if yours is very fine and delicate you might have to find a curling iron with an adjustable heat setting. You can still get a curling iron w/ a clip and enjoy the benefits of clipless curling. Just wrap your hair around it like you would with a clipless curling iron and don't use the clip. Am I making sense?
DeleteTotally. I've seen it done but I don't know if I'm that skilled. I'm hoping the bombshell will work for me. The first time I used the orbit I used a frizz serum which said it could be used for heat styling but I think it made the smell worse. I did see what the temp is on the bombshell and it's much lower that the orbit so perhaps that difference in temp would be enough. Thanks for the response!
