Quick and Easy......

It warms up almost instantly. It works beautifully on my hair, almost making it thicker than it already is. It helps me do my hair so fast, that I have to think of other ways to keep my husband waiting for me.
Oprah uses the Wigo!

This hair works wonders on African American hair! I have very weird hair. Sometimes its thick and unruly and I have been known to have a bad hair or two or three or four in my day due to that infamous Houston humidity. But since finding this product on the clearance aisle at a local cosmetic store, I am so glad I bought it!!!!!!! This product is a blessing!!!!! My hair is so silky soft after I use the curling iron. Did I mention that Oprah uses it? And if it's good enough for Oprah, then it's darn sure good enough for me! Since discovering Wigo I have invested in the entire product line. I bought the 1.5' curling iron, the three barrel wave iron (my favorite!), the 2 in one flat iron, and finally the Onyx palm dryer which I haven't used yet but if past performance of the other tools proves consistent, I will be pleased to no end with it as well! See my pictures of my hair? Isn't it pretty?
Lives Up To It's Reviews

At first, I was hesitant in buying a higher end curling iron because I had always bought the cheaper/generic models. After reading the reviews on the folica.com website, I finally caved in and I bought my first Wigo curling iron (1" inch barrel). As soon as I plugged it in, I immediately noticed the difference. First, it heats up very quickly. And second, the barrel holds on the hair tightly but also smoothly which produces great end results on thick, straight hair. Normally, with the cheaper curling irons, it takes much longer to style my hair. But with the Wigo, I was amazaed how well it worked in such a short amount of time. It is a very efficient curling iron that lives up to it's reputation.

I forgot my curling iron while visiting my parents. So I used my moms. i have super straight hair my hair is tough to curl. The barrel remains hot leaving your hair shiny. If you combine salon quality hair products with this iron you WILL get results. I definitely recommend this curling iron.
Takes the frizz out.

This it a great item for taking the frizz out of your hair. For my hair type (thick, fine, slight wave), it doesn't seem to get quite hot enough to curl my hair.
Good value for the price, depending on what you are looking for.
does not stay curly

I did like this product at first but an hour later I was getting ready to return it. My hair was almost straight again by then and I was on a car ride to a wedding going to be a bridesmaid when I had to ask the bride if I could use hers it waas embaresing. I mean if you curl your hair it should at least last an hour in the car shouldnt it...
Wonderful!

I've been looking for a ceramic curling iron that wasn't too expensive but still delivered excellent results without scorching my hair. Enter: Wigo. It's quick, I love the heat locking feature and the digital read-outs, and the curls stay in forever!
Would totally buy it again, and will most likely purchase the 3/4" as well.
Works well!

The curling iron works well! No complaints so far. If it works well for the next year, I will raise the rating to 5 stars.
Perfect curling iron

Stays hot, quickly heats up, long cord. I own both the 3/4 and 1 & 1/2 inch! Best curling iron ever...works even better if you wrap your hair Around the curling iron with the clamp closed. Curls looks so much more natural!
Great product!

In what normally takes me an hour to curl my hair with the cheap curling irons, it took me less than half the time! And the curls were great!
Highly Recommend

This curling iron is wonderful. Leaves my hair soft and extrememly shiny. The only thing prolem I found that the buttons are very sensitive and it shuts off if the button is touched slightly. The locking feature does not really help the matter. But otherwise love the iron!
Just ok

I think you get what you pay for on this product. I wish I would have paid more $ to get what I really wanted. The Wigo will curl your hair for the time being, but it will not stay that way.
i love it!

It heats up really fast, doesn't damage my hair, and the price is right. The temperature buttons are in a bad place though, you have to lock it or else you will end up changing the temp while you are styling. My hair is very thick and wavy, and I can even straighten my hair with it (the 1") and do some nice curls at the ends.
LOVE IT

I am THE least patient person to curl hair, and after I did just one curl (for 5 seconds!) I was so happy that I didn't just buy a peice of garbage. Normally (with a drugstore curling iron) it would take me 30min just for 1/4 of my head... then I just get so frusterated with it that I abort the curls. Wigo took about 15 mins for my whole head and was SOOOOO easy. I recommend it to anyone that wants a really great curling iron and not pay hundreds of dollars for it. Ive tried expensive curling irons, and this one is just as good! oh ya, and it doubles as a straightener-
It's OK

I like this curling OK. The price is reasonable, the on/off & temperature control buttons work well. The thing I don't like much about this curling iron is my hair doesn't slide through the clamp very smoothly. For a $50 curling iron, I expected my hair to glide smoothly, but I find my hair gets kind of stuck in the clamp so I have to keep the clamp slightly open to use it. For the price, it's not a bad deal. It's a reasonably nice ionic curling iron which won't damage your hair unlike ordinary curling irons.
POOR PERFORMANCE

This is the WORST CURLING IRON I have ever purchased. The gold plated barrel pulls my hair. The rubber handles allow little flexibility for maneuvering. The metal stand is loose, therefore it gets in the way of curling the hair. It does not even fit any part of the curling iron. This is a sheer waste of my money and I would recommend that no one buys any WIGO curling iron. I will defilitely return this product and request a full refund.
Perfect...

This is the second curling iron I purchased from Folica - the first was the 3/4 and the second 1". I needed a professional iron and the ones they sell in the stores and on line are not good enough for me. These are perfect! They were exactly what I needed to curl my very, very straight hair and they actually work better than I expected!
Decent Job Curling but Doesn't Last

If you have long, straight hair and lots of it, this does a decent job curling it, but it doesn't last. I think I am also going to order the 3/4" (I purchased the 1"). I like it better than the 1-1/2" Chi I have.
Great Curling Iron

Heats quickly, swivel cord is nice, I always use it on the highest heat. I have very straight hair and this gives me nice bent ends. Not good for having curls, more for a round brush look. I don't use a round brush so this works perfectly. Holds up to ocean air pretty well.
I LOVE My Wigo!

I purchased mine (1 inch barrel) about three years ago and it just died. I will be purchasing the same exact one thenext time I do my hair. I am African-American and I have natural hair. This curling works wonders on my hair - in fact I can roller set it and straighten my hair with my curling iron and cut out the blow drying all together!
