Most Helpful Positive Review Finally, one that works! I'm glad I spent the money for a quality curling iron. I have struggled with curling irons in the past that just didn't get hot enough and never were long enough for my hair. This one has a sturdy clamp and appears very well made. In addition to two extra springs, the curling iron also comes with a black heat-resistant rubber mat to lay the curling iron on that is about 4 inches by 8 inches, I am estimating. I have thick hair, that my whole life has never held a curl easily at all. This one changes that, my curls do loosen throughout the day to be more waves, but that's to be expected. I use this on about 400 degree heat. I kind of wish the barrel was longer as I don't even have ridiculously long hair and it barely curls the length of my hair. I get to use so much less hair spray when I curl my hair now because the curls stay so much easier so my hair is less crunchy and can be combed out so more easily and nicely at the end of the day. Not to mention that I don't have to have hair anxiety throughout the day, anyone know what I'm talking about?? When I worry about crushing my curls if I lay or sit back on them weird or tangling them up because they're so freaking sticky with all that hair spray I need because my hair is so difficult to curl. Ick, I know haha,
Most Helpful Critical Review Overheated and melted my hair I loved this curling iron the first few times I used it. Then one morning it unexpectedly overheated, melted the hair it was curling and then would not turn on anymore.
I sent back for a refund and am not sure if I would buy this product again. After googling, it seems as though the manufacturer Helen of Troy has a history of curling irons doing this.

Didn't work for me. Snags my hair and does not hold a curl. I don't have this problem with other irons I own
Works great! 5

I have very thick and long hair and this curling iron is one of the only irons to ever curl my hair and it hold.... highly recommended!
LOVE THE EXTRAS!! 5
TeflonReviews from PA
This iron easy to hold and easy to use. The cool tip rotates so you dint have to let go or reposition as you roll your hair. The extra long barrel is perfect for long hair!
Great for long hair 5
Allie from Washington
I'm a novice with heat tools so I decided to get the long version for my waist-length hair. Really glad I did because it was so much easier to get the hang of things. The curler feels high quality and well made, and my curls hold even on a lower heat setting. Make sure you use heat protectant, I can definitely imagine burning/damage on the higher settings.
Best curling iron -hands down. 5
Andrea from UT
This is my favorite brand and favorite curling iron! My work only uses this brand and now in my home we only use this one!
I would recommend 5
Annemarie from NY
I bought this during the last Ulta Beauty Gorgeous Hair event and I love it. I curl my hair with it and the curl stays put until the next time I wash it. With most other curling irons my curl is gone within a few hours, even if I hair spray to the max. The fact that this tool can make my hair hold a curl for a few days is very impressive.
I would buy again and again 5
Brandi from New Mexico
I cannot say enough good things about this curling iron. It heats up quickly and has a long cord. It has a swivel tip which is perfect for getting hair to twist around the iron. It comes with a heat mat which I don't need but it's nice that it came with it. It also came with two extra springs. The best part about it is the long barrel. It makes curling my hair SO easy!! It takes 5 to 7 minutes to do beach waves from scalp to ends on all of my hair and my hair is around the bottom of my back. Plus it can be used as a wand by just wrapping the hair around. I definitely recommend this curling iron 1000%
Amazing quality 5
Danielle from Pennsylvania
I finally upgraded my curling iron from a drug store brand to another hot tools product. Hot tools never lets me down, and I definitely recommend this curling tool over the wand. It worked perfectly for me and was so easy to use.
I would definitely purchase this again. 4
Chris from Richfield, Minnesota
It's the most I've ever spent on a curling iron but I think it was well worth it!! It's a great quality wand and so far I love it. I'm very happy with it.
Best curling iron I own 5

Perfect for getting beachy waves with long hair!
Melted in hair 3
Navy Mom from Cartersville, GA
The black tip overheated and melted. When that happened it caught my hair and coated it in plastic. I had to cut it out of my hair.
Best curling ever 5
Runnergirl69 from Georgia
I have long, thick hair and even when I have had medium length thick hair this is the best curling ever. I long the longer barrel. It is easy to use and holds the curl great. I can get 2-3 days out of it then I touch up on day 4 since I wash my hair every 4 days. I use a heat spray and curl in large sections doe waves and smaller sections for more of a spiral curl. It is fast and easy. If I want really volume curls I wrap the barrel like a wand and it works great. I have tried other curling irons and I have always gone back to hot tools. Especially the 24k gold curling irons.

Great curling iron for long hair. You can adjust the temperature and it holds the curl all day. My hair doesn't like to hold the curl but this iron worked well for me.
Good buy for great item! 5

WAS my favorite 1
LeesaDee from Bellevue
This WAS the best curling iron I every had, I loved spiraling my hair on the long wand for the best beach waves. My stylist even asked how I made the waves!! 6 months in and it no longer heats. I always though Hot Tools was a great brand, now I'm not so sure, and by the reviews I'm not the only one this happened to. I guess I'll pull out my 10 yr old $15 Conair iron, thankfully I didn't throw it out and it still works.
The best curling iron! 5
Nore from Grand Rapids, MI
I use this every day to re-do my hair style. It's the best!
Worst iron ever 1
Ash from Alabama
In all of my years never have I used something one time and it burned my hair on the wand. The first strand I used and it was on the lowest setting. I have contacted to return this product it was awful experience.
New fave curling iron! 5
Jenn from Arkansas
This curling iron was recommended by a friend who has medium to long hair, like myself. I have always used Hot tool products and after my previous curling iron of 7 years died on me, I decided to purchase this one. It came with a heat protective mat for the countertop that I absolutely love and helps prevent scratching on the actual curling rod. The extra long length allows you to produce curls as tight or loose as you choose! Absolutely love this tool!
Love! 5
Kiki from Washington
I have long thick hair and knowing this longer curling iron existed was eye opening! Soooo much easier to curl my hair! The curls last me up to 5 days if I properly curl each strand. Sometimes I want an easy beach look and that won't hold as long but it's all about properly curling your hair. Make sure to curl from higher up first (root to mid strand) before rolling in the ends so it holds volume longer! Just watch some professionals curl hair on YouTube if you want them to last!
Stopped heating up 1
Sharae from Columbia, MO
I bought this curling iron in March of 2019 (less than one year ago). It has stopped heating up and now has no heat. Pretty disappointing and dissatisfied with this product.
Does not hold curls 1

I have long thick hair and this did not hold my curls. Conair works better
