BIO IONICLong Barrel Styler, Curling Iron with Moisture Heat Technology & NanoIonic MX, Versatile Curling Wand with Adjustable Heat Settings, Hair Curler with Extended Barrel

I really didn't want to love this curling iron. For the price, I knew it would be an easy one to return if was only mildly better than my beloved Hot Tools curling iron -- but its so much better. I'll never return this one now that I've used it. I rely heavily on reviews for some big purchases so I knew I was in good company.For some history - I curl my long hair between 3-4 times a week. I don't need extremely high heat, but I need consistent heat just to handle the length of hair I have. My hair stylist used this exact same curling iron on me the last time I went in and I was blown away at how my hair curled, stayed curled for 2 days, and did NOT feel fried in the slightest even after my color.#1 - this heated up in like 2minutes, which helps to keep my bathroom counter clear of burning hot implements while I'm still getting makeup on or blow drying. love this feature.#2 - I didn't initially see the 'lock' feature for the heat setting and kept moving the heat up and down with my fingers as I was curling -- of course when I actually READ the label on the side of the tool, it told me exactly how to do that and it's a good feature for me. It also ensures consistent temps throughout the whole process without mistakes -- too hot can be a costly error, and not hot enough just prolongs everything.#3 - Not sure what kind of witchery is involved here, but my hair is actually SOFTER than when I just blow dried it (I have a dyson hair dryer, which already helps with that). It feels and looks healthier.#4 - and this is my last one because it's a cool feature - not even something I was expecting - this curling barrel is an inch or two longer than standard ones. I can curl more of my long hair faster and I simply can't go back to a 'short' barrel anymore. This review photo took me 6.5minutes to do while in my office during my lunch hour. Call it 7minutes ladies with floofing and a spritz of hair spray (I use Aveda) - but its still not a long time at all. GAME CHANGER if you're like me and already running late.Trust me, for the price, I didn't want to love it -- but I do. It's staying with me for as long as it can. No regrets and I hope this helps with anyone else on the fence for this purchase!

Who knew a cool tip could make you feel like a pro?And the cord! A 9ft swivel cord, folks. I could dance around my bathroom while styling my hair if I wanted to (which I did, no judgment, it was fun!).Oh, and did I mention the universal voltage and 1-hour auto-shutoff feature? Perfect for jet setters and forgetful souls like myself. No more worries about accidentally leaving it on when rushing out the door!In conclusion, this styler isn't just a hairstyling tool; it's a sidekick, a trusted companion in the battle against bad hair days.

This curling iron is a game-changer! The long barrel makes styling so much easier, especially for longer hair, and the curls come out smooth and long-lasting. The adjustable heat settings are great for customizing to your hair type, and it doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry or damaged. It truly feels like a high-end salon tool—worth every penny!

What I like:Longer barrel for hair 3 inches below shoulderSwivel cordHeats up quickNo line from the clip handleI ordered this 1 in barrel curling iron because my hairdresser said it's one of the best out there.; no damaging to colored hair, multiple heat settings.Other Pros-Easy to use, and leaves my hair soft- no frizzles. I only need to keep it in my hair for a few seconds to set, so less exposure to heat.Cons- (if you can call it that)I have extremely fine hair, so it curls well but relaxes through the day.Solution: I ordered the .75 inch instead of the 1 inch and it works perfectly! My curls hold throughout the day and often last through brushing the next morning. (Curls will relax each time I brush but have stayed for up to 3 or 4 days, which is a big deal for such fine hair.)I also use Moroccan Oil, dry texture spray for hold.
