This is the curling iron that I always come back to time and time again. The Hot Tools brand is top-tier, and I don't know why I ever try anything else. Because I have such long hair, the extended barrel is an absolute game changer. It takes far less time to get everything curled, and I can actually get the entire length of a strand on the barrel. The heat controls are fantastic and really determine the look of the curls. I typically use the iron on 380 degrees but will bump up the temperature if Georgia humidity is going to be showing off. My first Hot Tools curling iron was purchased when I was in college at the dawn of time (okay, 2009), and it was still going strong when I left it at an AirBnB this spring. I hope to have this one for 25+ years, if I can only remember to check cabinets when we travel. 😅

This was delivered on the same day I purchased it.It arrived well packaged and undamaged.I've used the Hot Tools Curling Irons for over 30 years.They do cost more than other curling irons but, they are very dependable and last a long time.I absolutely love having wide range of heat levels.They leave nice curls without crimping on the ends.I recommend starting off at a lower temperature to see what your hair can handle.

I owned a cheapo 25-30$ iron and a cheapo Conair curling wand prior to this. I only bought this to replace my last iron because I electrically fried it when I took it internationally (oops)...My complaints after 3 days:This curling iron doesn't hold heat well at all; almost as if the heat is only maintained superficially, so once it comes in contact with hair, it's like the heat is lost. The effect is that the curling iron doesn't maintain a steady temperature, and it doesn't stay warm enough consistently for heat to penetrate the entire hair. With my previous curling iron, I only needed to use a 320 degree setting to maintain a good curl, but now I am having to keep this thing past 380-400 degrees to barely get a wave, and none of the curls are holding. My hair is straight after half the day...It also doesn't glide smoothly along the hair. Despite it being a similar design to my last iron, it catches and pulls on my hair WITH NO PRODUCT. It is painful and kind of traumatizing to use because I never know when I am going to get pulled by the iron, and I have a sensitive scalp. Never an issue with my last iron. Also, because it keeps catching my hair even when I am guiding it, it doesn't allow the hair to flatten along the iron properly. I can't do movements or techniques that were so natural with my last iron.Overall, I'm really disappointed with this product and regret buying it. I wasn't able to test if it works internationally. The only redeeming quality I can come up with is that I haven't burned myself - which isn't much of a celebration because it wasn't a problem to begin with. The only reason I am not returning this for a refund is because I don't feel comfortable returning personal care items.My complains after several weeks:I am still disappointed in this purchase. I can see that the ends of my hair are getting damaged and feeling dry, even though my curls are not holding. This was never an issue with my cheap curler. I am going to put this one in my suitcase for international travel or emergencies, and get a different one. I do not recommend this for medium to fine hair.

This is a good curling iron. A bit on the heavy side compared to other irons. A lot of hairdressers use hot tool products. Curls and heats up fast.

Love this larger curling iron for my naturally curly hair! Initially thought iron was too heavy and long but quickly got used to holding it. Also happy that it turns off in a short time when I'm done. Only drawback for me is the placement of the temperature button.

Heat level adjustments , size of curls are perfect for a blow out look , damage, easy use! Love this brand and it’s in a reasonable price range!
