Instant Heat 1 1/4 Inch Curling Iron with 25 Heat Settings, Dual Voltage Travel Hair Curler for Long Hair, Beach Waves and Loose Curls with Auto Off Safety Feature, Black, CD82LL

I love this curling iron. I have had trouble finding one that is easy to use and has a decent barrel size. And heats up nicely. I have owned one like this before, but lost it. This was worth replacing. I have difficulty with larger barrel sizes because my hair is not long enough in the places where I need the curve. My hair will not respond unless wrapped around a barrel small enough in circumference, but not too big. Hence, the curve works with my fine hair, which will not be smooth enough in a larger-barrel curling iron unless I use additional styling tools—double damage. Unless you want more bells and whistles, you will be happy with this good-quality item. It is basic, with the on/off functions showing, and you need to make sure to turn it off. If you want to gift something, you might find it cost-effective to pair it with other hair products, like a heat styling leave-in product and clips to keep the hair sectioned like they do in the salons. I must use Amazon's gift delivery service because I live far from my loved ones. This is cost-effective and a tried-and-true method that still has a place in today's world. This is a product you can use carefully, yet you don't have to worry about the smell unless you push it with too much heat or products that aren't meant for heat styling. The speed and average temperature are easy. It will hold up well if you have the type of heart that usually responds. My hair is not straight and has a bit of natural wave. Though if you have straight hair, I think the medium barrel, or smaller one, will work well, especially with hair products for the body. For me this has great hold. Enjoy!

It heats up quickly, works consistently, and gives me the kind of classic curls/waves I actually like. I’ve tried newer tools here and there, but I always end up coming back to this one because it just works. Easy to use, reliable, and one of those beauty tools that has earned permanent residency in my bathroom drawer.

Enjoying this curling iron and the effects on my hair. I have a 1 in barrel and wanted something to produce more wave than curl. This iron works well! Only offering 4 stars bc it takes a while to heat up.

This 1 1/4 inch curling iron is an absolute game-changer! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve tried quite a few curling irons over the years, and this one stands out by far. The barrel size is perfect for creating soft, voluminous curls and loose waves that actually last all day. It heats up super quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, which makes styling fast and hassle-free. What I love most is how smooth it glides through my hair—no snagging or pulling—and it leaves my hair looking shiny and frizz-free. The curls come out looking natural, not overly tight or stiff, which is exactly what I was looking for. It’s also really easy to use, even if you’re not a pro. The design feels sturdy and high-quality, and I appreciate the adjustable heat settings for different hair types. If you’re looking for effortless, salon-quality curls at home, this curling iron is 100% worth it. I couldn’t be happier with it! 💖

Now that I have very short hair, I needed a smaller curling iron barrel. You really can’t go wrong with Conair products. This 3/4” barrel is perfect for my short hair. The curling iron heats up in about 20 seconds. It does what it was made to do and does it well.

I really like this curling iron, it heats up great and the swivel cord works well. Unsure how this could be remedied, all of the directional insignias on the iron have worn off in a short time.

Only get this if you want really tight curls. It was too skinny for my purpose, but it’s a good heating iron just smaller than I expected.

Great curling wand! The size is pretty good for large loose waves and it feels pretty good quality. So far no issues and very easy to use!

Calienta mucho hay que tener cuidado y no subirle al último nivel. Los rulos los hace bonitos y delgaditos. Muy práctico.

Es perfecta para mí e comprado otras pero esta es la mejor

Excellent... heats up in moments... only problem is now that my hair is growing I may have to get a bigger one!!!

The second i finish the curls it goes down and doesnt last although i have a thick hair… also watch out as I had to pay delivery fees to return it!
