Hot Tools Professional 1" Extended Barrel Curling Iron for Defined Curls

LOVE my new curling iron. It heats up well and fast and is easy to hold. The really nice thing is that it is longer than the average curling iron. I love the 1.25”barrel. It gives me the little bit looser turn on the ends of my hair than my 1”. It is a nice weight, easy to hold and manipulate.

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. 🙏

I recently picked up the HOT Tools 24K Gold Professional 1" Extended Barrel Curling Iron for my wife and daughter, and it has been a massive hit in our household. They both have longer hair, so the extended barrel is a real game-changer—it allows them to wrap larger sections of hair at once, which significantly cuts down on their morning routine. The 1-inch barrel is the perfect size for creating classic, bouncy curls that actually hold up throughout the entire day. My wife mentioned that the 24K gold surface distributes the heat evenly, leaving their hair looking smooth and shiny without the fried feeling you get from cheaper irons. The clamp is sturdy and holds the hair securely without snagging or pulling. It heats up incredibly fast, the controls are straightforward, and it feels like a durable, professional-grade tool built to last. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality styling tool that delivers fast, long-lasting results with less heat damage.

Best hot tool curling iron ever! I love the brand, hot tool products and would recommend all their products! I have a wider barrel curling iron and wanted a smaller curl, the 1 1/4 size curl last all day & night perfect size curl. I have had my other curling iron for at least 10 yrs. I love the many settings for heat but the new added feature is the cord that spins so it doesn't get all tangled up. I wish the products were a bit more affordable but at the end of the day, I will still buy their products.

I’m a big fan of the Hot Tools Model 1102…but the OLDER version of this curling iron with the twist-knob temperature control, not this “newer” version with the push-button temperature control. My main problem with this newer model—and the reason I almost immediately stopped using it and went back to the older versions, and only pull this one out when my newer version is unavailable—is that the SWIVEL CORD IS USELESS. It doesn’t really swivel. That means that by my third curl, I’m trying to untangle the cord by holding the product upside down and letting it dangle, like we used to do back in the days of telephone cords—and all this does is slow me down in the morning when I’m trying to get ready, AND it adds to my stress/exasperation levels. Secondly, I do agree with the other low ratings that the wand seems to “catch” a little more on the hair than the older models do, though for me it’s still a darn good curling iron in that respect, because of the generous, non-heated tip at the end, which allows me to hold the wand at the end and control the “catch” without burning my fingers (this is the reason I switched to the Hot Tools 15 years ago—I was tired of burning my fingers on the wands of cheaper brands that didn’t have a large, non-heated tip)—so I do appreciate this aspect of this newer model. I also agree with the lower ratings that mention how the push-button control doesn’t seem user-friendly and is a bit confusing, though once I figured it out it seemed second-nature—but I will admit that there is NO second-guessing the turn-knob model. I gave it a one-star because I am trying to send a message to the company to DISCONTINUE ANY of the models that have this version’s issue with the swivel cord! Perhaps I simply bought the only swivel-cord lemon out there—but if this is a systemic problem with this version, I wanted the company, and the consumer, to know about it. Thank you! Other than this, it’s a great iron, in my opinion—that’s why I keep buying the older versions and I hope those remain available for a long time.

This curling iron is amazing. Settings are for any hair style going from 280 all the way to 450 degrees. I have thick hair and my setting is on 380 and my hair curled perfect and last all day, even into the morning the next day. The wire is tangle free. This has left my hair in perfect curls all day!

This is definitely not an extended barrel. It’s just a regular size. I have extended barrel from hot tools and this is way short to buy a couple inches. Also, it says that it’s professional. This is just the regular one. I do have a professional one and the states professional on the toilet itself so I don’t really buy it that it’s professional. It seems too flimsy.

I was gonna get a fancier curling iron but this is really all you need. Beautiful curls that hold for a fair price. The spring has become a little loose but not a big issue

Me encanta, calienta bien rápido, deja muy bonitas las ondas.

Love this curling iron. The only brand I will ever buy! The gold plating helps protect my hair (I curl my hair every day), and the dual voltage means I do not need to carry heavy converters when I travel! The cord is also nice and long, and the swivel on it keeps it from tangling.

Sem dúvidas o melhor babyliss q já adquiri além de super fácil de usar e realmente esquenta e grampo dele ajuda bastante diferente de outros q tenho e o resultado do cabelo impecável de salão.aprovadissimo e recomendo.

Calienta super rápido, riza sin maltratar demás el cabello...

Doesn’t curl my hair AT ALL
