For a change in addition to using the GHD soft thong, this GHD classic wand. It is oval and has no clip. It works fast and makes perfect waves. Easy to use. The temperature remains constant at 185 degrees Celsius. It feels good in the hand. This one comes with a glove, which is very nice. I do notice that the curls of the soft curl thong stay in place a bit longer but the classic wand makes more waves than curls and on a “quiet” night out, they stay in place all evening.
