1" Nano Ceramic Curling Iron

The best curling iron I own! Very impressed with the weight of the curling iron & swivel cord. This curling iron also heats up very fast & curls last! I can see myself reaching for this instead of my other hair tools

LOVE this hair curler. Great bang for your buck. Works wonders. I have had for over a year and love it.

Great curling iron, gets hot enough and has nice long cord. I just wish it had automatic shut-off is my only complaint.

Love Hot Tools brand abc this one’s the perfect size

This curling iron is great in holding my thin hair within the clasp allowing me to curl my hair - this is a problem I've had with other curling irons - and it gets hot enough in a quick amount of time. However, I travel a lot and was given the impression that this was a dual-voltage curling iron. Well, it isn't. I'm keeping the iron because it works at home, but I wanted an iron that I could use on my travels as well as at home.

This is my 3rd curling iron that I have bought from Amazon. I have been steadily reading reviews and watching youtube videos. I returned a much more expensive gold Paul Mitchell that seriously would not curl my hair at all. I then invested in a cheap Conair 1 1/4 inch barrel because my smaller Conair is awesome, but that also disappointed when the beautiful waves it created literally disappeared after 30 minutes. I have been wanting a Hot Tools iron, but couldn't decide on which model. The company's gold plated curling irons are very popular and I am sure that would have worked also, but my main concern was my hair type: very fine, dry, long hair. Although my hair is not really damaged, it is delicate and does snap easily. I have been using olaplex and also protein and moisture treatments but still have to be very careful. The nano ceramic is supposedly the best iron for delicate hair and hopefully will prevent damage. Used it for the first time last night and so far I am very happy. I do find that with my longer hair in the back I needed to turn the temp up a bit, but even on 400 degrees I saw no smoke, nor did I notice a burning smell. I do use a heat protecting spray. In fact, the iron was very gentle. There is definitely a learning curve for me on this tool, but I think I am going to love it. The swivel cord is awesome, the weight and feel of the iron makes me believe it will last, and most importantly my large waves lasted through yesterday evening and into the night. I wore my hair in a loose braid last night while I slept. This morning I simply took my hair down and used some dry shampoo, combed it with my fingers and my waves still look amazing. If the iron continues to function this well I will likely purchase the 1 inch also.

Updating this review (as of 7/14) and lowering my rating from 4 atars to 1 star. I mentioned in original review that it did not get as hot as it should but then, the clamp started becoming loose and would not hold my hair. Now the power is flickering on and off constantly while curling my hair when Im twisting the iron… with only residual heat, it will not curl. I spent a long time attempting to get beach waves this weekend to no avail. I bought this iron in March 2025 and now its July 2025 and it is going in the trash! This company really should quit trying to cheaply manufacturer their products and get back to making Quality products or they won’t have a business. Original review: I had this exact curling iron when I was a hairstylist for 15 yrs and loved it. It recently broke so i ordered a replacement. Its still a very good curling iron but does not get as hot as the original one I had. I have the heat turned all the way up and it still doesn't heat enough to stay curled. Not sure if I just got a lemon but I'm disappointed in the quality this time. Still giving it 4 stars because it is easy to use, the perfect size, but i just wish it got as hot as the temperature states it is.

I’ve been curling my hair daily for years. This iron didn’t last half as long as my Amazon brand $25 xl barrel I had for years. After about 1.5 years, this hot tools curler started to have an unstable connection and would flicker on and off while plugged in and turned on. It also squeaks and got my hair caught in the hinge frequently. Finally it caught on fire during a vacation (lol) and I will be going back to Amazon brand because this is not worth the money IMO. Curled well but nothing extraordinary! I have thick hair and couldn’t do very large sections.
