Hot Tools Professional Ceramic + Titanium Spring Curling Iron

I have naturally wavy/curly hair, so I got the 1" to better match the size of my "real" curls, and I couldnt be happier with the results of this iron. Even on medium hot, it only takes 5-7 seconds for the curls to set, and they last & last all day long, even though I ride my bike thru the Chicago wind! And, the curls are nice & shiny, too - I love it & would recommend this iron to anyone wanting fabulous natural looking curls.Thanks Folica!

This iron heats up fast and my curls seem to holding better. Just wish it would slide a little easier on my hair.

I have wavy hair so when I do curl it, the wave holds the curl very well. But, with this curling iron I got nothing! In fact, it even made my waves go limp and straight. This iron straightened my hair instead of curling it. It also left kinks in my hair from the barrel. I put it on the highest possible heat, and still it was a big disappointment. I returned it. My moms metal curling irons from the 80s and 90s work way better. I would not recommend this product at all.

It was great for 6 months and now my hair started getting stuck where the paint is peeling off the barrel...you might as well spend another 50 dollars and get a good one..

Last year I purchased this curling iron for a friend, the 3/4" size. It worked great until it stopped working, which is to say it quit getting hot. Of course we never save our receipts, same with sending in the warranty card, didnt do it. In Dec 07 I purchased the 1" Iron for myself thinking that hers was just a lemon....but after just 5 weeks mine quit heating up also. Again, no reciept, no warrenty information, my bad. I went on-line to see if I could speak directly with Hot Tools and there is no phone number associated with their web-site. So, the moral of the story.....send in the Warranty Card. I spent lots of money and now have nothing!!!!

This is a really good curling iron. It heats up quickly and the handle is comfortable and a good size. The cord is a good length and the swivel really works so that it keeps itself out of the way while you twirl the barrel. I have medium-thick hair and I do not have to use the highest heat- so I imagine it would get hot enough for very thick hair. Depending on how much hair you put in each curl, you only have to set each curl 3-5 seconds and curls come out bouncy and shiny. With the 1" barrel, if you have a lot of time, you can get a gorgeous head of beauty-pageant curls. With less time, you can curl strategically to polish your look and add body. My hair does not historically hold curl well, but with a little gel and hair spray, the curls stayed all day on a recent non-humid day (I would not even bother on a humid day in the South, with ANY iron). Ive only had it a couple weeks so I cant speak for its durability over time, but Im very satisfied so far.

This is the best iron ever!!!! I have been through many man curling irons/rollers and this by far the best. It gets really hot which makes the curls come out instantly. You can set a few for a natural look or make tons of curls. I would highly recommend it.

I have the 1" one and was so surprised how long the curls last even though I dont put any hairspray or any type of setting spray. I was looking for a 1.5" barrel for a larger loose curls. But instead of sticking to the Hot Tools brand, I decided to give the Wigo digital a try. Oh what a mistake! The unit looks nice and expensive but the curls didnt even last a few hours. I thought maybe its because of the large size barrel. So, I just gave up on the 1.5" curling irons for a while because I thought all 1.5" probably give the same result. Recently I decided to give the Hot Tools 1.5" a try and I am so happy with the purchase. Just like my 1" one, the curls last all day and night. I love how you can go to sleep, wake up and your hair still looks nice! For reference, my hair is a little bit above my waist, not too thick but not thin either.

Heats up quickly, makes a nice curl, the controls are in a great location. Would definitely recommend it!
