is this thing evenly balanced . Many e-z curl bars I've purchased in the past were not evenly balanced.

Mine was even, but you use the dumbbell weights so if those are off balance it will only continue.

Perfectly balanced. I have been using it for several months and have not had any issues.

no problems with the balance. Make sure dumbbell weights are on a hard, perfectly flat surface to install on the EZ bar. Carpet or rug will not work. As mentioned in another comment you will want to use gloves as the grips are pretty rough. All-in-all this is a pretty useful piece of equipment.

seems well balanced- the grip is fairly rough so weight lifting gloves are useful- i otherwise don't use them

No, all the curls go in the same direction. There is no alternate curl setting. You can only adjust if you want a tight curl vs a loose curl. There are 3 settings for that.

I love mine. I've had it since feb of last year, it was wobbly at first but my husband used his own tools to re-tighten. And no more wobble. It has so many different settings and workout types. I'm never bored with it. It's very heavy/sturdy. I would recommend it.

It was rolled up and yes it did curl up..but after sometime it did and still does lay flat. Can't remember how long it took tho as I've had it for so long. I think we even tried laying it flat with weights/books etc and tried curling it in the other direction. I don't use it anymore but it does stay stored flat..lol It's now for sale but served it purpose :-)

Its a nice little roller on even surfaces but on uneven bumps it will likely twist sideways. I pull it over a 6 inch curb daily and it will will twist unless I pull very evenly.

I kept mine straight. This is a very good brace. I have heavy thighs and have problems with braces curling but this one does not do that

The plates have a very slight rounded edge to them. However they work fantastic to curl. (I'm literally using it as I type this. I am used to spending 200 to 300 dollars on a flat iron, this one not only lives up to the most expensive flat irons I've ever had it is even better! I highly recommend this product. it only takes 30 seconds to get to 450 degrees. actually straightened my hair faster and I have noticed less breakage and split ends.

It's like a leave in conditioner, not to give curl. More like to calm hair and give it shine and smoothness. My hair still holds curl very well after using this product as well a stays straight if I straighten it. To me it offers balance to hair for a good beginning to styling it. Makes my hair look and feel healthy.

My straightener curls very well. The plates move slightly side to side and push down which helps prevent pulling. I absolutely love mine and would definatly recommend it

I have thick hair and its curly like Julianne Margolis in her E.R. days - btw I'm Latina (Cuban, Puertorican, and Brazilian) and Japanese mix... I use it on 324 and it's straight with one pass - not bone straight but straight with volume... if I want bone straight I think the temp I use is 384 or something close to that but I rarely wear it bone straight... love that it doesn't burn or pull my hair.. I also use it to curl my hair as well... I've used chi but that burned and pulled my hair on the medium settings

This is Steve the sleeves spin pretty good, I occasionally put the bar on the end and put a few drops of oil where the bushing is and leave overnight ... The sleeves spin better with weight on them ... This is more of a power bar than a weightlifting bar ... But for the price this is a really good bar ,as good as ones costing twice as much ..

I would say it works pretty well with thick hair (as mine is very thick), but it really depends on the quantity of hair in each stand you curl. If you go not as much, you get a tighter curl, or larger and it gives you definitely more of a wave effect. I, personally use not as much hair in each curl, but only because that's the look I'm going for. Hope this helps! =)

Yes, I use a curl bar and dumbbells; as long as you have the weights in both hands and alternate your dumbbell curls it will hold the Arm Blaster in place, although it is more steady with a barbell. Hope that helps.

Yes it is definitely mine! This is the only wand that has ever held a curl in my hair. A little hairspray and it will stay curly for two days!

YES....You WILL love it....It was my 1st time using one of these also. You can make your curls tight or lose depends on where you place it on the wand. My hair is very straight & curls wouldn't stay in my hair no matter what. With this wand, the curls look the same at the end of the day, even the next day after sleeping on curls, all I have to do is touch them up a little. It's also a lot faster to use than any other iron. Let me know how you like it after you purchase...Cristy Hannah/Alabama

It's a great bar for light to moderate oly lifting. You don't have a problem with spinning. Easy transition and application.

I have the XL and I'm very happy with it. It takes a little while to get used to, but it's my favorite way to curl my hair now. Also, it holds curls better than any curling iron I've ever used, much better than with a bigger barrel. You can create lots of different types of curls depending on how much hair you wrap around the barrel, and how you wrap it.
