ENZO MILANO! CLIPLESS CURLING IRON!
"She's a very kinky girl. The kind you don't take home to mother." Rick James
Meg here! Meeting mother is totally overrated and I can't help being kinky. Anyone that reads this site knows I can do a lot of things. I just can't use a curling iron. I don't know if it is because I am left handed or what but for the life of me I cannot work the clip part correctly. I always end up with bumps and kinks and it annoys the bejezus out of me.
I'm always using the old school curlers or my Topstyler. Would I like to try use a normal curling iron? Of course. Are your tips going to help me do this? No. I've had lessons. At this point it may just be a mental block but I have moved on.
I was at New York Fashion Week in September. I had been doing some filming and my hair went completely flat. I'm lucky I'll talk to anyone. It's a gift for me and a curse I'm sure for my airplane seatmate. Anyhow, my hair do had hair don'ted and the person I was speaking to ending up running one of the fashion houses being shown. He was nice enough to take me to his show's beckstage and plop me in a chair in hair and makeup for a little shooszing up.
The New York Fashion Week stylist, grabbed my listless tresses and then the most phallic looking instrument I had ever seen. What the heck was going on here? No, I was not in some underground sex chamber. I was at the most prestigious fashion show in the world. What I was looking at? A big, black clip less curling iron! The stylist showed me how to wrap from the top, hold it for a few seconds and soon she released a bouncy, beach wave. The most sexual looking curling iron provided no kinks!! Just perfect hair, and it heats up in 60 seconds. This was the answer! I was so impressed I asked for the name to write down so I too could own this magic wand of greatness. After writing it down I went to the next show and promptly lost the slip of paper. 
In life, soul mates tend to find their ways back to each other. So it was just two weeks ago when my friend Liz sent me an email about this phenomenal company Enzo Milano and how they invented the clip less curling iron. Another song started playing in my head when I opened her attachment and saw my clip less friend staring back at me "reunited and it feels so good!" After a couple of pleading emails, I was the new proud owner of an Enzo Milano Clip Less Curling Iron (I have the 25-33 cornicos enorme)
I know a lot of you are going to ask, "how does it work?" so I added the video from the company so you can see a few stylists in action using it. I point the barrel down. Then I wrap my hair around the iron (don't worry about burns! They give you a great little mitt!) My hair never takes curl well, if it does, it's staying an hour. My secret for keeping voluptuous curls? I spray the holy heck out of my hair with Elnett Hairspray. Then I wrap. Then I hold for 15 seconds. After, I just let the curl go. No tugging or pulling needed. Also, no burns, dents or kinks!
You can improve on the mousetrap! The old foe that is the curling iron is now my friend! The Enzo Milano is safe for extensions (I have to check for things like that before my Indian additions revolt.) The downside? It's pricier than other curling irons. The upside? It's worth it and comes with a lifetime warranty.
I am very thankful for my Enzo Milano Clip Less Curling Iron. Please fill me in?

Im not sure about this product but it doesn't hurt to try. It looks like there isn't much hassle to this.
I, too, worship at the alter of Enzo Milano. Hands down, it's the best curling iron I've ever used. The protective glove is definitely essential for safe use, however, you do have to exercise caution while curling because it's still possible to burn yourself, even with the glove (spoken from personal experience). I like to spray each hair section with White Sands Hairspray prior to wrapping, because not only does it make the curls last forever, it provides thermal protection, as well. This is a top notch styling tool, and I HIGHLY recommend it!
Looks great!

I think my hair is looking a lot better since I've ditched shampoo, no joke.
I like the look of this Enzo Milano curling iron because it avoids those horrible kinks I get in the ends of my curl because my hair is layered or because I pulled at the wrong angle or whatever. A clipless curling iron sounds positively ingenious!
I've heard lots of people tout this "no shampoo" thing-- but I haven't quite been able to bring myself to try it yet. What motivated you to try it? Did you ever have any trouble with it?
I started washing my hair with conditioner only because my locks were anything but lush! Plus just washing with conditioner saves me tons of time. I use cheap stuff too - either from Trader Joe's or Suave Rosemary Mint conditioner. As long as there are no -cones in the conditioner, it rinses out well and doesn't seem to leave any buildup. I do use shampoo about once a week or so but I don't really know why. Maybe if I didn't have the bottles of shampoo to use up I wouldn't? I'll let you know once they run out!
I don't know how or what to think of this. I like the idea of no kinks from the clip....but then again, it seems like extra work to have to wrap and hold the hair around the curling iron. I have a lot of hair. this is the main reason I never curl my hair to begin with...I think this would make the task even more cumbersome.

so, three months later and I have to eat my words on this one...I read a lot of reviews on curling wands aka clipless irons, and after much debate decided to try one out. mine's a remington, so no fancy brand...but I have to admit that I LOVE it. the barrel is kind of oblong as opposed to a perfect cylinder, so it makes these fabulous waves...and as for time it takes to do my hair? faster than with a traditional iron....and it lasts all day! i'm so glad I was wrong. for anyone interested in trying a wand, I'd recommend the Remington pearl as a very reasonably priced alternative...especially for all of the skeptics like me!

I have too much hair and not enough patience for this- looks awesome though!
There are a number of clipless curling irons available. I was just at Ulta and you can start at a lower price point. Just about every thing I have read about using a curling iron in the last couple of years has been to wrap the hair around the iron and not clamp and roll. I have done this for my daughter, but my fingers took a beating. That's why the mitt is genious. I think that biggest drawback is that your hair has to be long enough. My hair does curl and will hold it, but at just shoulder length, even with a 3/4 barrel iron I can't always get it to stay on the clipless iron. I get about halfway done and go oh the hell with it and go back to the clamp. Don't put the very ends of the hair in to avoid the kink reaction.
Looks like a must try.
I haven't used a curling iron in ages! I have been interested in this but since I don't bother curling my hair, I have never tried one. My commercial hair comes from a blowdryer and flat iron! I'd love to try this, though.

I have way too much curl as it is, so I don't need a curling iron. Just some mega-hold gel and air dry! Not using heat helps my hair stay healthy. I also avoid sulfates and 'cones.
I want this curling iron!! I've seen knockoff versions, but I'm sure none of them perform quite as well as this does. I've always thought those clips were stupid-- I never used them. In fact, I remember one memorable curling session with a large-barrel curling iron, my hair wrapped over the clip, and wearing an Ove-Glove to hold it in place!
i love mine! It makes me have cute Taylor swift curls! :) I do have that little glove so i can get the very edges! :)
I have this (but I'm not sure if it's the same brand). it's in cold storage now. I can't seem to work it the way the promoter did for me. My hair ended flat. Anyhow, I've since cut my hair to a length that doesn't look good with curls.
I'm lazy when it comes to curls. Don't even own a curling iron or rollers or even a round brush. Wow, i sound a little lame!

I don't use curling irons because I don't want to damage my hair :(
I never use heat but I love using steam dryers (the old school ones) and deep-conditioning my hair gets me ad hair!

I am way too lazy to curl all my hair unless it's for a wedding or something special. I have a lot of hair, it's almost halfway down my back now and it's THICK. It takes me at least 1/2 hour to a full hour to do a full head of curls. So, I would love to try this because it sounds wonderful but I would rarely use it. I have been thinking about getting some velcro rollers though for body and lift. Because my hair is long and thick the top of it is very flat and I'd love more height at the crown. Any suggestions for good velcro rollers, or something like that to give me more crown volume??

I've never been able to master velcro rollers - I always end up with a tangled mess so I'd love to hear any recs you get for this!
My hair doesn't curl very well. It's naturally stick straight and takes a lot to get it to curl at all! I usually don't fight nature and just blow dry it to tame the ends a little.
Just snipped off my long hair a few weeks back and this post makes me miss the length!

I just use my curling iron with the clip and achieve the same curls. I just don't use the clip. My niece introduced me to that trick one day when I commented at how beautiful her curls were. She told me she just uses her regular curling iron and wrap her hair around it and hold it for a few seconds and let go. It gives the most amazing curls and it stays curled so long too.
Looks like a great product! I just try to refrain from using too many products and heat styling tools in order to keep my hair healthy... I cut it 1-2 times a year.

Curls don't last long on my hair even if I use tons of hairspray. So, I don't even bother with my curling iron. I try to stay away from heating tools as well. I also love using Batiste dry shampoo because it gives my hair more volume.
I was recently debating buying a new curling iron, but I decided against getting one. I didn't know that I would use it a lot, and I really just needed to cut back on heat-styling anyway. My hair breaks easily, so I get a lot of short, stubby pieces of hair sticking out. Not flattering. I'm somewhat lucky enough that I can wet and scrunch my hair and get decent curls because my hair has some wave to it. I include the somewhat because I can get mixed results - sometimes the curls stay really well, and sometimes they fall pretty flat by the end of the day.
I am still trying for shampoo commercial hair. It's never going to be long and flowly, but I find that the condition is better when I keep my hair shorter and rotate shampoos. I'm a klutz with hair dryers, curling irons so I avoid using them.
I have the Enzo Milano and have for a while, but i honestly prefer my Conair Curling Wand. I think it's the inverted shape that makes the curls just the perfect shape for me!
luckily i got a lot of kink and dont need an iron to jelp me out hahahah.
who loves makeup? me me ME!
I would love to own one of these. I struggle with curling irons too (also left handed), but I can do it..I just have a difficult time getting both sides to look normal. I love the waves they make in the video. So pretty.I don't really have commerical worthy hair..anytime I really "do" my hair I always straighten it. It just makes me feel polished and I feel a lot more confident.
I love straight styles so I use my average shampoo for dry hair, then conditiones, split ends treatment, heat protector, blow dryer and finishing product, and i got great results everytime
If that really works how you say I´d definetely need it :-)
I'm okay with my curling iron:) cool idea though
Seems like a good hair tool. I have such dry hair lately, I have been avoiding the heat tools. When it's in better condition, this sounds like something I'd like to try. Thanks for the great review :-)
Sounds like a good tool but more work because you have to hold it. I am fine with the curling irons with the clip or I use hot rollers which is much faster than an iron.

My hair is naturally curly, but I've seen these before. The brand that makes my straightening iron sells curling irons that come with mits just like this.
Love my ENZO! It gives my suoer-straight hair red carpet curls in no time. I've never had more compliments!
My hair never ever held a curl until I got my hair curled at an Enzo Milano booth at the fair one year. I am telling you, this thing is worth it. My hair has never cooperated with a curling iron, but when that guy did it, my hair was still curly the next morning.
Cool hair curler!!!!!!!!!
Looks awesome!
Once you get the hang of it the clipless wand it is wonderful!! I really wanted one like this but opt for something a tad bit more affordable.
