Last week I was visiting with a co-worker and was amazed at her hair. She usually wore it straight, in a ponytail, or in a bun. I love to work with my hair and I usually wear a different style every day, so I was curious what she did with her hair. It was full of curls and looked great. She said she used the “Curl Secret”. I told her I must know this “Secret”. Here sister is a hairdresser and had given her one to use. It sounded so easy I stopped by the store on my way home to pick one up. They are not cheap at an average price of $99 but I had to give it a try. I bought the Conair Curl Secret because it was the only one I could find that I didn’t have to order.
Conair Curl Secret
This is what it looks like and it basically sucks your hair up around the roller and depending on the setting will let you know when your hair is too curly perfection. That really is all there is to it. In the past, I’ve always curled my hair with a curling iron and every once in awhile I will branch out and use the hot rollers. However here in humid South Florida trying to create curls when your hair is not curly is pointless. It doesn’t matter how much product I put in it, by the time I arrive at work I have some waves.
I was telling my daughter about this nifty gadget and she agreed to be my test subject. So the same night I bought it she sat and watched her YouTube videos while I curled her hair. It turned out AMAZING!

My co-worker who has hair that is about the same length as Honey’s said it took her 10 minutes. That was not the case with us I would say it took a good 25 minutes so it definitely didn’t save me any time. However the results I think are much better than when I try to curl her hair with a curling iron. Not only that but she slept in these curls and she still had some wave in the morning.
The next morning I decided to give my own hair a try. Again I definitely didn’t save any time. You can only use small sections or the Curl Secret will not work properly. My hair is not quite as long as my daughters but I was still happy with the results. (Sorry for the selfie’s my daughter was not in the picture taking mood that morning)

Now here is the best part. Check out that photo on the left…that is me at work, and still with curls. My curls stayed in not only all day but they were still there the next morning. I did put a little bit of hair spray on my hair but honestly even in the winter curls do not remain in my hair that long. I am very impressed with the Curl Secret and love having it as an additional beauty tool.
I asked my co-worker how it was possible that she curled her long hair in 10 minutes. She said the secret was to put your hair in ponytails so you can manage your hair better. Then when you are done you can just curl the top layer. I decided to give it a try the next time. I will say it that maybe it was a little bit less time but not enough to warrant the ponytails. Since my hair is shorter the ponytails did leave the top layers pretty straight, which like she said I would have to re-curl. I can see the ponytail method working for my daughter (note: if you use this method by the plastic rubber bands that you can just cut when you are done so you don’t have to bring take out the ponytail holder and mess with the curls). If you want to keep your curly hair in top condition, we’ve found a great guide special shampoos for curly hair.

Cynthia R says
I woul dlvoe to give this product a try, my hair is so flat and boring, I have a hard time just trying to keep waves and body in my hair.
Colleen says
This is amazing. There are now two more girls at work that bought it and love it.
Rhiannon Rowland says
Very nice! I love long curly hair… can’t wait until mine grows back out!
Colleen says
I know I’m jealous of my daughter’s hair.
Tammy says
Wow that is so cute! I have natural curl to my hair, so my beauty tool is the flat iron LOL – opposite from y’all. Also my Kabuki Brush is my bestie when putting on makeup.
Colleen says
I have a flat iron but I don’t use it, I usually use a blow dryer when I want to smooth out my hair but I know lots of people that use one.
Connie Thompson says
Curling iron but I would love to try this now that my hair is getting longer.
Colleen says
Well I suggest you give mine a try and see if you like it 🙂
ellen beck says
I have to admit I am not much of a beauty maven, I wear it pretty much as it dries and depending n the season (nd humidity) it cn endd up curly or pretty straight. About all I use is a curling iron on my bangs if I am going out and thats about it. You and Honey look very pretty- her hair is getting long quick!!
Angela says
Wow, I love those curls. My hair won’t hold a curl for very long no matter what I try.
Liz Mays says
I have natural curls so I’m always trying to reduce them, but I totally love how the curls came out on both of you.
Tiffany Dover says
WOW!!! I am impressed! My hair is naturally curly and I straighten it but sometimes I like to straighten it then curl it myself….I NEED THIS!
shelly peterson says
Both you and your daughters hair looks really nice, the curls are beautiful . My hair never holds a curl, I would love to try this.
Crystal says
A rubber band so I can just throw my hair in a ponytail! I need to try harder.
Vanessa: thequeenofswag says
Wow I’ve never heard of this before but it makes your hair look amazing. Your daughter has such beautiful hair too. What a great tool.
Donna says
I have slightly wavy hair, so I have to use a flat iron or huge barreled curling iron to get my hair straight and I use hot rollers to get curls. I may invest in this, though. My hair is almost as long as your daughters and I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to use it by myself, though.
HilLesha says
I’ve toyed with the idea of buying this in the past, but I was afraid that if I spent that much that would be disappointed, considering I hardly trust Amazon reviews anymore. However, you have me convinced that this hair tool actually works. I guess I know what I’ll be putting on my wishlist now! 🙂
Lynn says
I have always been curious how the celebrities’ stylists put the loose curls in their hair. This looks like it is worth a try. thanks.
Marcie W. says
I definitely think the overall results are well worth the time spent. I like the beachy type waves that this product offers and really appreciate that it produces long lasting curls.
Rachel says
Wow. I’m impressed. I have naturally curly hair so my must have styling tool is a diffuser with my blow dryer. It keeps me curls from getting frizzy.
I can see this being a great item for little girls.
jeevon kay says
oh! I’d love to add some curls to my straight hair
