HOT Tools 24K Gold Professional 1 1/2" Extended Barrel Curling Iron with Clamp for Loose Curls - 24K Gold Technology for Long-Lasting Results & Longer Barrel for Easy Styling

I love this curling iron. I used it while on vacation and liked its durability. I purchased it in the 3/4 barrel size and I have thinner hair which struggles to hold a curl and I loved how it managed and held my hair. The heat varies for this barrel so you can choose how high or low you want the heat. I saw reviews on the clamp length but I didn’t have an issue with it. I loved the plastic end on the end of the barrel so I can hold and roll for a better curl. I noticed that using this iron it’s more user friendly so I was able to curl my hair quickly with the same amount of parting as I usually do. I also have shoulder length hair and the only thing I would be worried for are my long hair girlies running out of barrel to curl. I’m excited to continue to use this I think it’s worth the money for its functionality.

I ordered this because my other one broke after so many years And use, I had no idea they upgraded it . I was a bit confused on the new push button And longer barrel I was going back and forth on returning it . I realized its just A better upgrade I'm now learning to love the longer barrel because it helps to reach your hair that you might have missed . The curls stayed in better and climbed without Any hair spray it your curling quality us 100% better with this one the Thickness is the same . it heats up quickly And goes to the same 450. the weight is a bit more because of the longer barrel And this one was priced better I say its a winner for sure

Design & Build Quality: The 24K gold-plated barrel not only adds a touch of elegance but also ensures even heat distribution. Its extended length is perfect for my long hair, allowing me to curl larger sections efficiently. The sturdy construction feels durable, and the ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip during styling sessions.​ Performance: This curling iron heats up rapidly, reaching up to 430°F, which is ideal for creating long-lasting curls. The adjustable temperature settings cater to various hair types, ensuring optimal results without damage. I’ve noticed that my curls now last all day, maintaining their bounce and shine. Ease of Use: The swivel cord prevents tangling, giving me the freedom to maneuver the iron effortlessly. The cool tip is a thoughtful addition, allowing me to hold the barrel safely while styling. Whether I'm aiming for tight ringlets or loose waves, this tool delivers consistent results every time Pros: Quick heat-up time with adjustable temperature settings Extended barrel ideal for long hair Even heat distribution for consistent curls Swivel cord and cool tip enhance usability Cons: The iron can be slightly heavy, which might be a consideration for prolonged use No automatic shut-off feature, so remember to turn it off after use

It heats up fast and turns off automatically. When I say it gets HOT, it gets super hot. I have really thick coarse hair and this tool keeps the curl set. I am not interested in how the tool looks in the cabinet or on the shelf as long as it does the job. I do appreciate that my hair does not get caught in the screws or clamps when curling. Great tool. Would recommend and would buy again. I got the 1 and 1/4 inch and it makes big beach curls

Where should I start? First the clamp started to stick about a month after using it. I have to maneuver it a certain way to actually clamp down on my hair. Then it completely fried my hair. I actually had a burnt smell to my hair for a few days. I thought the heat was too high and it was operator error. I lowered the heat to the lowest setting and my hair has continually gotten more damaged, but not as bad as the fried part in front. I’ll also add I always use heat protectant and this still happened. I don’t feel like it heats evenly and overall it’s poorly made. I’ve always used this brand and have ever had a problem. I’m not sure if I got some sort of knockoff or if the quality as a whole has just gone downhill. I also was trying to research what type of barrel this is and it’s not ceramic or tourmaline, it’s just some basic metal that isn’t good for your hair. I’m shopping for a new curing iron and will only get ceramic salt this point. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND if you want your hair to stay as healthy and soft as possible while using a heat product. Or if you want to add some frizzy course hair into your life, go for it

I really like this tool. The cord does not twngle which is a big plus for me! I like the temperature controls. My hair stylist uses this tool so I ordered based on her recommendation. Pleased with the purchase and value for money.

Works great

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. 🙏
