Item 2286481
Add some sparkle with the Hot Tools 24K gold line of curling irons. Extra Long Barrel allows for more hair to be curled quickly.
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,
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.

Loved this curling iron. It held my curls perfect. After a couple uses the clamp became weak from the heat of curling iron and eventually broke off. wish it didn't :(

I was excited to the hottools curling iron! I have the hot tools one step volumizer brush and I absolutely love it! Was expecting a similar experience here aswell, but unfortunately it isn't:( The barrel itself is long and I have hair past my shoulder length and tis barrel could hold my hair in one shot which was convenient. The curls came out nicely as soon as they where done( tried 250&300 settings) but after 30mins of cooling when I run fingers through to give it more natural look all the curls just fall apart. My hair which is wavy is texture looked straight as if I used a straightener. I'm going to try hot tools wand and see it tat will help with my curls.

This size 1 1/4" was too large. If they had a smaller size 1" I would buy it.

I recently broke my curling iron, and replaced it with the exact same one. It is not the same as it used to be. The clamp is different, thinner maybe? It leaves crimps in my hair and I cannot curl as much hair at once anymore. It heats inconsistently. Some days my curls hold, but most they don't. I have to turn this all the way up and let it sit in my hair for it to curl. I'm really, really sad. My extra long hot tools curling iron was my favorite and this replacement doesn't live up to it. RIP.
