24K Gold Professional 1 1/4" Extended Barrel Curling Iron with Clamp for Tousled Curls - 24K Gold Technology for Long-Lasting Results & Longer Barrel for Easy Styling

I adore my curling wand. It allows me to create the same look as a big barrel brush creates at the salon. But, I am not able to brush like my hair dresser. She has tried to teach me. This wand is perfect. It have a control for the heat. It's smooth and easy to manage for hair amateurs. I am able to style like a pro. It is well made, seems pretty durable and definitely high quality. I think it's well worth the price. My hair really responds well to it, and I look like I stepped out of a salon. Heats quickly. Easy and perfect. My hair glides through it easily. I have not had any problems with hair damage at all, no weird pulls or overheating.

Love this curling iron! It heats up quickly and creates beautiful, long lasting curls. Very easy to use and works great on different hair types. The curls look natural and stay all day. Definitely a must-have for styling.

As I was setting my hair, my old Hot Tools curling iron literally “broke into pieces” with my first attempted curl. My initial reaction was laughter as I’d had it for many years and the flying, but not hot, pieces were pretty funny. I went off to my grandson’s 18th birthday party “uncurled,” but placed an order for a new one that same day. Hot Tools are quality products so I definitely wanted that brand. It arrived the following day, is almost exactly like the one that self-destructed and has a few improvements over my old one. I LOVE IT! I like the newer temperature control, it heats quickly, looks sleek and is easy to use since I’m familiar with the brand. I have never experienced hair damage and it cools down fast after use.

I’m a big fan of the Hot Tools Model 1102…but the OLDER version of this curling iron with the twist-knob temperature control, not this “newer” version with the push-button temperature control. My main problem with this newer model—and the reason I almost immediately stopped using it and went back to the older versions, and only pull this one out when my newer version is unavailable—is that the SWIVEL CORD IS USELESS. It doesn’t really swivel. That means that by my third curl, I’m trying to untangle the cord by holding the product upside down and letting it dangle, like we used to do back in the days of telephone cords—and all this does is slow me down in the morning when I’m trying to get ready, AND it adds to my stress/exasperation levels. Secondly, I do agree with the other low ratings that the wand seems to “catch” a little more on the hair than the older models do, though for me it’s still a darn good curling iron in that respect, because of the generous, non-heated tip at the end, which allows me to hold the wand at the end and control the “catch” without burning my fingers (this is the reason I switched to the Hot Tools 15 years ago—I was tired of burning my fingers on the wands of cheaper brands that didn’t have a large, non-heated tip)—so I do appreciate this aspect of this newer model. I also agree with the lower ratings that mention how the push-button control doesn’t seem user-friendly and is a bit confusing, though once I figured it out it seemed second-nature—but I will admit that there is NO second-guessing the turn-knob model. I gave it a one-star because I am trying to send a message to the company to DISCONTINUE ANY of the models that have this version’s issue with the swivel cord! Perhaps I simply bought the only swivel-cord lemon out there—but if this is a systemic problem with this version, I wanted the company, and the consumer, to know about it. Thank you! Other than this, it’s a great iron, in my opinion—that’s why I keep buying the older versions and I hope those remain available for a long time.

Very large barrel - perfect for loose waves. Gets hot quickly and works really well. If you want tight curls this is not for you. It makes very loose waves that look so natural!

This is THE BEST Curling Iron I’ve ever purchased. Great for those with long hair, coily hair, a lot of hair, and/or hard to style hair. I’ve gone through several higher priced options this past year alone ($100-$250 each) in my never-ending quest for a curling iron that would work with my hair. Unfortunately, the pricier brands turned out to be just as ineffective as the reasonably priced brands. Until this purchase. I have A LOT of LONG “COILY” HAIR and it’s difficult to style. The standard length and diameter curling irons are a royal pain to use — it takes forever to do my hair (2-3 passes per section)!!! The standard barrels are too short, the diameters too slim, and the temperatures not high enough to handle a person with long difficult-to-style hair. And the WORST part of the previous curling irons: Even applying a heat protector prior to styling, using approved temp of only 365F, my hair would STINK for days. I couldn’t stop or even mask the smell. Plus it took forever to do my hair because standard barrels were too short and too narrow and temperatures not high enough to quickly handle thick, coily, and/or long hair. I had always loved Hot Tools reliability, so when I saw they were offering a Gold Extra Long 2” Barrel Curling Iron … I had to have it! After a few weeks of blissful use, I ordered another for my gym bag and will likely order a 3rd just for backup. This Hot Tools Gold Extra Long XL 2” Barrel Curling Iron leaves NO SMELL (even at 400F) and cuts my styling time in half — it handles more hair with each pass. The clip holds hair firmly in-place, yet the light-touch lever allows my hair to slide through smooth as silk. And my hair doesn’t get caught in the clip — not having hair ripped from my skull is good. Plus it has a wide range of temperatures, with higher temps for tough-to-style hair that are not found on other brands. After years of searching, I finally found THE perfect curling iron. I could never go back to the standard short-barrel narrow-diameter low-temp ineffective styling tools of days past. Previous Experience: Like many others who posted reviews on Amazon, I too was sent a previously opened and USED curling iron with product stains and trapped hair. HOWEVER … within 24 hours of making Seller aware of the return reason, I received a brand-new unit and it is THE BEST CURLING IRON I have ever used. I already ordered another one, and will likely order a third just for backup. NOTE TO HOT TOOLS: Puh-lease do not ever discontinue this model, as there are no comparable products Extra Long Barrel 2” Curling Irons on the market. 🙏

Very nice curling iron. Creates nice large curls if you have longer hair, short layered hair, would recommend 3/4' barrel to get more defined curls. Love the cord that swivels and not get twisted and heats up fast. This I would recommend.

The curling iron works as it should. I have had no problems with the heat setting or the handle. However, why on earth do they have the clamp only go part of the way up the barrel. There is a good inch plus of the barrel that is hot that the clamp does not touch. This means I’ve got a hot barrel that has nothing to clamp over it. Stupid design and it’s too late for me to return it, but I’m looking for a different product that is designed a little bit more carefully. The larger size in this particular brand is fine;, the clamp goes all the way up the barrel. I have one and I like it but the small one is stupidly designed.

Love this curling iron. The only brand I will ever buy! The gold plating helps protect my hair (I curl my hair every day), and the dual voltage means I do not need to carry heavy converters when I travel! The cord is also nice and long, and the swivel on it keeps it from tangling.

Es un producto con muy buena relación calidad precio. Hay otros de marca solo que te duran un poco más pero también te cuestan mucho más.

Sem dúvidas o melhor babyliss q já adquiri além de super fácil de usar e realmente esquenta e grampo dele ajuda bastante diferente de outros q tenho e o resultado do cabelo impecável de salão.aprovadissimo e recomendo.

The product ceased functioning after three months of use, and I am currently navigating the return process. Unfortunately, this has been my most disappointing experience with after-sales service from Amazon to date.
