This hair curling wand is a steal. it heats fast, glides smooth, and the curls keep their shape for two days without hairspray. With 1.25 inch barrel size, I can do Utah curls or just bump the ends for a fake blowout in 15 mins easy peasy. The titanium barrel is the real MVP here because whatever the coating is lets the hair just slide off after you've formed the curl, plus the iridescent finish just makes it more fun. I left it on the other day mistake and I can vouch for the auto shut off working too.. whoops Read more
The media could not be loaded. My hair is finally getting a few inches past my shoulders, so I ordered a larger curling iron - the 1 and 1/4 in barrel. Posting pictures of the curl as I feel like that’s the unknown. I typically get an extremely pricey titanium plated straightener as anything less is going to leave my hair fried looking. This curling iron is a fraction of the cost and is just as smoothing, without straightening it first and glides easily through your hair. I especially like the little legs on the end that allow me to sit it on my counter without worry of burning my house down as the heated part remains off the surface. I don’t place a mat under it and can keep it on for over 30 minutes without a concern of destroying my bathroom countertop. Read more
I needed to find a replacement iron for my old one that my daughter borrowed...and lost. My old one was seasoned and worked amazing. Temp was perfect and it held my fine hair with no issue. Granted it was covered in hairspray and product build up...but this allowed it to be seasoned and not burn my hair. I have purchased a few different curling irons to replace my old one...including the same style. ALL did not hold my hair or come up to a temp needed. I took a chance on this style after reading a few of the reviews. Pros: It holds my hair great. It comes up to temp really quickly and actually has low to high heat. The dial for the setting is easy to use....but you do have to get used to it. I tend to hit the dial while using it and move the heat setting on accident. I recommend you start at the lowest setting if you have fine hair and work from there. This curling iron is hotter that older styles, so lower temp is better to start with on fine hair. Love the cord length. Sharp looking product. Not a cheaply made curling iron Cons: Not really a con...but the temp dial could be made a little harder to turn to allow users to not move it on accident when using. I feel that the low to high setting is off. Unit on 5 seems to be almost the same temp as the highest setting. The manufacturer should look into adjusting. I just have adjusted how I use it. With fine hair...high temps can cause breaking, which is why low is used and recommended. This unit seems pretty hot for low. Overall I recommend trying. I am happy with my purchase and hide it from my daughter. lol Read more

This curling iron heats up quickly and gives smooth, long lasting curls without burning or damaging my hair. It’s easy to handle, lightweight, and the curls come out defined and shiny every time. Perfect for both tight curls and loose waves. Definitely a great styling tool! Read more
The curling iron works well except the protective cover on the tip needs to be a little longer for me. Read more
My other curling iron by Conair finally started to fray at the cord, so I needed a new one and after ordering a few and trying them out, I settled on this one because it most closely mimicked my previous one, which I loved using for about 10 years. The style of this curling iron is beautiful and elegant, so it looks great on the bathroom counter. PROS: The clip that holds the hair is very secure so the hair doesn't unravel when curling, the heat setting adjuster knob is placed in a spot that makes it hard to accidentally change to a lower or higher heat, and there is no on/off button that can accidentally switch off the iron while using, which is a good thing (there is a safety mechanism that automatically shuts off the iron after not using for a while). CONS: the cord is short, the iron gets very hot on the high settings (so be sure to test on a small piece of hair first), and the cooling tip isn't very long so I need to wear heat gloves when using it to prevent accidentally burning my fingers. Overall, I'm very happy with this curling iron and highly recommend it! I can only hope it lasts as long as my other iron did. Read more
I have long used Conair products. Many years, in fact. Both hair dryers and curling irons. This is the first Conair product I've purchased that is just plain crappy. Even worse, it's crappy in all regards-- not in a single feature only. Awkward balance. It gets ungodly hot. Use extreme caution with temp settings if you buy this product. Heat setting numerals are nearly impossible to see/read. The setting pointer is RIGHT under the lever. This thing gets much hotter than you would ever imagine. If high heat is what you're looking for this iron is for you-- but be really careful. I had to dial it way down on my fine hair. But even if you have heavy, difficult to manage hair, I think it could easily be damaged with this product. The tip is difficult to grasp without burning your fingertips. (My previous Conair curling iron had a hole in the tip you slid your finger through to secure it.) Way too easy to burn your fingers. Also, watch out for your ears. (See previous comments about high heat.) The cord is flimsy. Hugely disappointing. I should have returned it; I am now regretting that I didn't. Read more
