My hair has always been long until I went through chemotherapy and lost it all; it has since been growing back, and I’m having to get used to styling it short, and some of my favorite hot tools just don’t work very well. So I purchased this curling iron but didn’t try it out until today. I stupidly looked at the included TWO gloves, set them aside (thinking about all the curling irons I’ve used over the years), and thus came about the only con about this product: IT GETS REALLY HOT, and I managed to burn myself more than once! But the curls were so amazing at 450 degrees and I was in a hurry to finish, so I just kept going and tried to be more careful. If you use it at any real heat at all, protect your hair with some form of hair protection product, and I have a mat that I use to protect my bathroom counter from any hot tool. Here are the things I love about this tool: 1. It has a digital read-out and can be set for whatever temperature you want. 2. It comes with the mentioned gloves that I didn’t use. 3. It comes with two great clips that I loved to keep the curled hair separated from the uncurled hair. 4. The barrel of this curling iron is super (extra) long! This allows you to curl pieces of hair in a ringlet style, and you can also put a little more hair on it thanks to the extra barrel space. Be careful, though, because all of that barrel is HOT! And I realized quickly that I needed to release the hair almost immediately after winding it up so my hair never got singed. 5 I also like that the buttons are little and on the edge of the round plastic circle (around the digital face). I never once accidentally hit one while curling my hair as I have done with many other hot tools. This curling iron makes gorgeous curls!!! I am so very glad I purchased it! Read more
Love this curling iron. It heats up fast and hold my fine hair even the ends! LOVE IT! Read more
This curling iron has a very tight spring and holds curls in place as you use it. It comes with 2 hair clips and a teflon glove. I like the size of it, and I really appreciate that the setting gets locked into place so you can't accidentally switch the heat level. I took off one star because the tip of it is not a 'cool tip' and you can't rest a finger up there as you curl. I know that's probably why they include the glove, but I find that inconvenient to use. Also, the glove didn't really seem like it was much protection when I tried it. Seems like it would have been easy to adjust the design and have a cool top for safer use. Others have done so. This curler works well and I like that the barrel is extra long. I have thick hair and it makes it easier and quicker to use. It's a good value for the money. Read more
The curling iron just arrived and I have used it once. I have long hair and usually the curls do not last very long. I downsized this time to the 3/4" barrel. What seems to even more helpful is that this barrel is longer than most, which means that the whole length of hair sits on the barrel itself. I think that helped me get better curls that lasted most of the day and I used the lowest setting - 284. It also has a long sturdy cord with a little triangle on it to hang up the iron. The only thing that could be a problem is that the setting button is under where you hold your hand on the curler. I did hit it by mistake once or twice. Overall, I would say so far, so good !!

This is my daughter‘s favorite curling iron out of all of the crazy ones that are out there. This is the second one I have bought not because the other one wasn’t working, but just because we like this one so much. Read more
As soon as I took it out of the box, I could tell it was much smaller than 2". I thought I ordered the wrong one, but the box says 2 inches, so I took my caliper out - it's 1.7 inches. Unfortunately, this won't be replacing my 2" hot tools curling iron. Compared to hot tools, here are the pros and cons: Pros: -heats faster -barrel is longer, good for my long hair -the clamp evenly clamps my hair and is easier to slide it along, rotating without getting strands caught -heat distribution feels pretty even Cons: -obviously the barrel is too narrow, so it gives a curlier look, rather than a fake blowout -cool tip is only rated for 450 F. If you use a higher setting, it may not stay cool. It's also smaller, so it's easier to burn off your finger -the stand does NOT prevent the iron from touching the table (won't matter depending on your counter surface), which is why it comes with a silicone pad to set it on - but then what is the point of the stand at all? Just gets in the way -cord is shorter, will work for most, but in my old home with only 1 outlet per room, I require an extension cord I like it overall. I just wish the barrel were 2 inches...

This was recommended by my hair stylist after she did a great job updating my hair style and I had no idea where to start to do it myself. I ordered it immediately and it only took a few days to get the look I wanted. I like the auto shutu off and the temperature settings on this iron and being able to lock in the setting once you find the right one for your hair. It's lightweight and the handle is small enough to fit your hand around with ease. It makes the curls look soft & natural and is a great price point! Give it a try! Read more
Purchased on December 25, 2025 Arrived on December 30, 2025 Not working January 5, 2025 I’ve used it three times in the week I’ve had it and one day it stopped heating. The display says it 356 F but it’s ice cold as illustrated by me grasping the barrel with my bare hand while temp is displayed. Read more
