The right tool This works. It is a solid, well built tool that gets your hair smooth and how you want on the lowet heat (I am Caucasian and have fine hair with a light, unruly curl that has lost its shine). I thought irons were irons, I'd buy the cheapest thing and thought that was equal. I reached a plateau and I just couldn't get my hair to look good anymore. So after watching some professional hair stylists doing styles I wanted for my hair, I looked at what they were using - duh. They are ALL using more advanced tools but many were using Ion related ones. I work in tech and here I was using1980's styling tools and getting 1980's results (ever see an 80's movie? Yeah). I looked at the price and I'd seen even more expensive irons at Utla (that's a designated beauty store here in the west coast U.S.) and I don't recall seeing anything this size with ION capabilities or with the materials used in the barrel. I ordered mine online and had it in about a week. FIRST shot at a curl and I realized I've been styling my hair under a rock all these years. I'm over the moon about my purchase. This is really only 40 bucks or so more than the best tool you can buy in conventional stores/Amazon. This is THE BEST TOOL FOR THE JOB. It just slides through my hair too! That doesn't seem like a point that makes much sense...of course it slides through your hair, all irons are smooth etc..Not like this. It feels like it moves over your hair and the heat is distributed so much more gently..My hair looks and feels SO MUCH HEALTHIER. I don't write reviews but when this popped up in my inbox I felt compelled to share with someone who was also about to give up on their hair. Love the iron, best beauty tool I've ever bought.
Does not hold curl First let me say that I know how to properly use a curling iron both wand and clamp styles. I've been curling my hair for years. My hair can hold curl for days even if I don't use hairspray. I loved the idea of the long barrel on this curling iron so I picked it up. The curls as soon as it comes off the barrel are beautiful (they look like the type you see the Dyson air wrap produce) but within no amount of time it looks like I never even curled my hair. I'm talking not even a wave left. I let my hair set and cool completely before finger combing out. Today I did a test, I used my old cheap wand on half my head and the bio ionic on the other side. After a full day the aide I used the cheap wand on still looks curly and beautiful. The other side looks like I blow dried and did nothing else. I am almost wondering if something this iron is made with doesn't work with some peoples hair. I am going to look into it more. I'm still in the market for a new curling iron or wand. I have a few I want to try including the GHD oval wand and the hot tools (I believe they make a long barrel iron with clamp).
A lot of these reviews seem to be coming from bio ionics sight which is always sketchy to me. Most of the negative reviews are ones that do not come from their site.

I always buy high quality hair appliances, all my irons and my hair dryer are Babyliss. I went back and forth trying to decide between Babyliss and this iron after I got hand tied extensions. I could not be happier with this curling iron, it's absolutely amazing. I also recommended it to a friend who also got extensions & she is very happy with hers too.

As I mentioned, I usually dont write reviews. So the fact that I'm taking time out of my day to write this means a lot!
I definitely believe that this curling iron is 100% worth the money. The long barrel makes it SO much easier to curl your hair and the back of your head! I know it's quite pricey, but it's something you'll have for many years if taken care of. I got the 1 inch and gives me the bounciest curls, the prettiest beach waves, or whatever type of curl I desire! GO BUY THIS!!!

I do not know where the negative reviews are coming from. Clearly some people do not know how to use it LOL but let me tell you this is worth every penny. I don't like spending a lot and I almost purchased a cheap curler at Ross but ended up wanting something nice. This is it!
Just buy it 5

Love this curling iron so much. My hairstylist turned me on to it and I've never looked back. I have very thick long hair and this makes styling so much easier. I've gotten my mom, sister, and coworkers hooked on it too. If you dont want to splash out on an airwrap, this curling iron on the market!
Love!!! 5
