Overview
This Hot Tools Professional curling iron has a nano ceramic barrel that tapers from 3/4 inch to 1.25 inch, aimed at soft waves and curls rather than one fixed curl size, with variable heat up to 450 degrees F and an 8 foot cord for salon-style reach.
The tapered barrel puts this in the same category as the L'Ange and Conair wands here, but it runs hotter, up to 450 degrees F against their 400 to 410 degree ceilings, and adds Pulse Technology that is meant to hold the barrel at a set temperature rather than letting it dip as it works through a head of hair. The extra-long cool tip and separate on/off switch with an indicator light are aimed at repeated salon-style use rather than occasional home styling.
- Nano ceramic barrel tapered from 3/4 inch to 1.25 inch
- Variable heat settings up to 450 degrees F
- Pulse Technology for steady barrel temperature
- 8 foot cord with separate on/off switch and indicator light
Who it's for
Suits anyone who wants a higher maximum heat and a barrel that spans from a tighter 3/4 inch curl to a looser 1.25 inch wave in one pass, including thicker or coarser hair that needs more heat to hold a curl. Less necessary for finer hair that curls easily at lower temperatures.
Pros and cons
- Tapered 3/4 to 1.25 inch barrel covers tighter curls and looser waves
- Variable heat up to 450 degrees F, higher than most wands in this category
- Pulse Technology aims to hold a steady barrel temperature through use
- 8 foot cord and extra-long cool tip for easier handling
- 450 degrees F is more heat than fine or damaged hair usually needs
- No clamp, so hair is wrapped and held by hand like other wands here
Performance notes
Pulse Technology is built to keep the ceramic barrel at its set temperature as it works, rather than losing heat between sections, which matters most on thick hair styled in long sessions. The 3/4 inch to 1.25 inch taper lets one pass produce a tighter curl near the narrow end and a looser wave near the wide end, and the extra-long cool tip gives a place to rest fingers away from the heated barrel.
