Kristin Ess Hair 2 Inch Titanium Curling Iron for Big Blowout Waves Volume-2 Salon Professional Wide Large Barrel

My 2 inch curling iron is amazing. I’ve never had better curls and I go to the salon all the time. Definitely a keeper and I will be saving quite a lot of money going to the salon. The volume I get from this curling iron was well worth the money. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to purchase it immediately before it sells out. Kristin Ess thank you for an amazing hair tool.

It's going to make your hair look like you just had a blow out its not meant to be super curly or hold a extreme curl it loosens and looks like your hair as blown out and it's absolutely amazing. I never leave reviews but if your looking to switch it up and don't feel like blowing out your long hair this is going to be your best friend. I'm in love Read more

It looks pretty, that’s the one positive. It’s very heavy and difficult to maneuver through your hair. It is a large barrel so it only completes one or maybe two rotations through average length hair, and when it gives absolutely zero curl, the wand is pointless. I tried keeping it on my hair longer hoping that would do something—nothing. I kept trying, thinking it must do something to the hair, I kept it on longer than necessary and probably is even good for your hair, the heat was high, still it did nothing to my hair. It’s called a ‘soft bend’ I realize but it doesn’t even give that. Also, it made my hair stink like burned hair or something that lasted days. So it probably damages hair. Ultimately this is the worst curling wand I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a ton. So this went back. The spray texturizer from Kristen Ess is nice though, even if this curling wand is terrible. Read more

I have fine, thin, long hair and this gave my hair a lot of body. My friends even commented on it since my hair is normally flat and straight. If you are looking for more of a curl the 1.25-1.5 barrel would be better. I plan to add that size to my collection. This gets very hot but does have temps to choose from. I have to hold my curl up after I release it to let the hair cool or it will be straight again. The large size does make it a little cumbersome to maneuver but after practicing it’s not too bad. One caveat is that you really would have to have longer hair to use this. With my hair just past my bra strap I only get approximately 2.5 turns because of the large diameter barrel. Visually this is the prettiest curling iron in my collection though. They did an excellent job on that aspect. Read more

Love some of the other reviews complaining about user error. lol This curler does the job amazing. It gives great BIG waves which is exactly what my hairdresser said to style my daughter’s hair. It’s a great product for the money!! Read more

This is the largest barrel I could find and it doesn't disappoint. My only con is that it does take a few minutes to heat up but other than that it's my favorite tool for those "Barely there" curls. Read more

I am still perplexed at why this curler didn't work for me. To be fair it gets hot so I can't really knock the functionality but my hair never curled and I tried very hard to make it happen. (I really wanted that blowout look) I think it could be because the barrel is too large at 2 inches. I had the ends of my hair turn up a bit but the entire strand of hair was straight above it. I have to say that the packaging and item itself were beautiful though. I was sad to return it. Read more

The cord swivels when you move and is super long!! So good. Hair won’t get caught on a bolt either as the design is smooth. Using to fake a blowout. Med fine hair, can be done in 5-10 min Read more
