I was unimpressed with this curling iron. The barrel is very short, and the end tip of the barrel for your fingers is so small it gets so hot so you can't really touch it while curling your hair. I made that mistake the first time I used it and burned myself. I bought this because it's dual voltage for my trip to Italy, so for that purpose it worked. But my curls didn't last & would say not the best curling iron for long hair.
Holds a curl well , wish it had the Color treated , fine hair and other extra options like the 1.5 inch barrel option has . The 1.5 inch barrel unfortunately just doesn’t hold a curl in my hair so went with this size and it a total game changer . Wish it had a half length clip as one rarely use it entirely it would also minimize the associated crimp . Would also wish the transition of the edges of the clip would be more smooth so when using as a wand the lip crimp is not visible . Otherwise a great product
