INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Tourmaline 1 1/4-Inch Ceramic Curling Iron, 1 ¼ inch barrel produces loose curls – for use on medium and long hair

I already had this curler in the 1" size. That one is great for big, soft curls. But some sections of my hair are very stubborn and don't like to curl or stayed curled. I also sometimes wanted a more pronounced curl. The 3/4 inch was the perfect diameter to get the fun, bouncy curls I wanted for some looks. The curl lasts for days! With no product - just my hair and this curler. Which is saying something as my baby fine hair is very hard to curl. A tip to getting curls that last without product - mist your hair with water before curling. I learned that trick from a Conair steam iron I owned years ago - it was the first curling iron that gave me curls that lasted. Sadly, mine succumbed to mineral deposits clogging the water line and they don't seem to make the steam irons anymore. Misting your hair works nearly as well though.My original foray into ceramic irons was years ago when they first hit the major chains and only plain ceramic was available. The plain ceramic was far too rough for my fine hair. My hair would cling to it and break, so I went back to the metal ones that left me with flyaways and lots of split ends. Then I read about tourmaline ceramic. Seemed to be an improvement over the ones I used in the past, so I purchased the Revlon tourmaline curler in the 1". Loved the tourmaline, hated the curler. The tourmaline worked great to smooth my frizz gently and make my hair shine; however, the curler kept shutting off on me while I was trying to curl my hair and the clamp cover fell off after a couple weeks of use. The cover I just glued it back on, but I could not get the iron to stay on for a whole curling session. I have loved previous Conair items I have used, so I decided to give their tourmaline a try.*The tourmaline finish wasn't as smooth as the Revlon finish, but it doesn't tear my hair like the plain ceramic curlers, so it's still a win.*The heat STAYED ON!!*The curl lasted longer than the Revlon curler.*I like the heating controls a lot better on the Conair. You can choose the actual Fahrenheit temperature (who knows what 22 actually is?).*The barrel cover they include with this curler is also a big plus - solid and easy to put on.*Another plus is the tab counter stand - nothing for your hair to get hung up on and nothing to manage before putting the iron down.*The cord is quality; it swivels easily and doesn't twist into a knot (the Revlon one did - hard to curl when you're fighting a cord).

I have a ton of hair so the light weight helps using it for long periods of time. My curls came out amazing and heats up instantly. This is easy to use I ordered this because it was recommended by the girl who does my hair. No need to spend all that money on expensive curling irons.

This is an awesome curling iron, which heats up super fast and even across the entire curling surface (no hot spots). The multi-heat settings and LCD readout are also clever and very useful features as well. The cost is amazing and the shipping from Amazon couldn't be faster! So, with all of these raves, why do I not give it a perfect 5 star rating? Well, two minor quibles keep me from giving it a perfect score. First of all, the LCD panel displays the temperature setting that you selected, but it gives you no indication of when the iron has been heated to that setting. There should be some sort of visible notification to let the user know that the iron has achieved the desired temperature. Also, included in the box is a clever slip on cover that you can supposedly slide over the iron, after it has been shut off, to protect you from the hot surface of the slowly cooling iron. However, the slip on sleeve becomes extremely hot to the touch, so it offers very little protection. And since the cover is plastic I am afraid that it could possibly melt and/or cause some damage to the iron surface.Overall I think this curling iron deserves a solid 4 and 1/2 stars, but falls short of a perfect 5. I feel very confident in recommending it to anyone looking for a high quality iron that will meet or exceed their expectations. This iron is a top performer with just a couple of little shortcomings.

I bought this after I was part of a photo shoot at which the hair and makeup person used a super-large barrel curling iron (that was a brand that was too expensive for me to buy the same model/brand) to create a really great look for my hair, by wya of creating pin curls, then letting them cool. I knew I would need a curling iron with at least that barrel size, but the local beauty supply store had only higher-priced models. Found this on Amazon and decided to try it--CONAIR, a brand that's been around forever, right? Wondered if it would be up to the task, but it most certainly is! The curls are great big, the heat is controled to four or five levels (I go with the fourth-highest level, but my hair is never "too hot to handle" when I take the curl and maneuver it to get the pin in the curl. It heats up within a minute and cools down quickly, too. Two thumbs up!

The media could not be loaded. This curling iron is the perfect size, heats up fast. It grips and holds hair well. My wife uses it for free years and happy with it.He had a trip to Europe recently and it works there too at 220 volts even it intended for 110 volts.Greate product, highly recommend it.

I was looking for a larger barrel size for soft curls. It works okay, temperature control could be a little better and if you have long hairThe barrel could be longer for optimal use
