ConairInstant Heat 3/4-Inch Curling Iron, ¾-inch barrel produces tight curls – for use on short to medium hair

I love this curling iron. I have had trouble finding one that is easy to use and has a decent barrel size. And heats up nicely. I have owned one like this before, but lost it. This was worth replacing. I have difficulty with larger barrel sizes because my hair is not long enough in the places where I need the curve. My hair will not respond unless wrapped around a barrel small enough in circumference, but not too big. Hence, the curve works with my fine hair, which will not be smooth enough in a larger-barrel curling iron unless I use additional styling tools—double damage.Unless you want more bells and whistles, you will be happy with this good-quality item. It is basic, with the on/off functions showing, and you need to make sure to turn it off.If you want to gift something, you might find it cost-effective to pair it with other hair products, like a heat styling leave-in product and clips to keep the hair sectioned like they do in the salons. I must use Amazon's gift delivery service because I live far from my loved ones.This is cost-effective and a tried-and-true method that still has a place in today's world. This is a product you can use carefully, yet you don't have to worry about the smell unless you push it with too much heat or products that aren't meant for heat styling. The speed and average temperature are easy. It will hold up well if you have the type of heart that usually responds. My hair is not straight and has a bit of natural wave. Though if you have straight hair, I think the medium barrel, or smaller one, will work well, especially with hair products for the body. For me this has great hold.Enjoy!

I ordered this curling iron because it’s the same kind that I had before, but it bit the dust.I keep ordering these curling irons because they really work great on my hair. They don’t burn my hair and I can curl it or straighten it with the 1 inch barrel perfectly. It heats up really fast. It’s lightweight and it makes my hair smooth or curly whichever I choose it to be. The thing is they don’t last but a few years at a time and I have to order another one. I won’t try another brand because I just really love the way this one works on my hair.I have medium length brown hair with a lot of silver and gray in it and this curling iron works great on my fine hair.

I have been using this curling iron for several year.....It is a great product and perfect for how I style my hair. HOWEVER, plast two purchases seemed lacking in the sturdiness of the arm: both within a short time of using it. The black part of the iron (which you push down to open the iron and insert your hair between, has broken twice) The iron can no longer used as there no longer the plastic covering on the thumb area of the iron. Once causing me to burn my thumb, ouch ! I have to order or purchase new irons several times. I am taking a chance by orderin this one more time with hopes that the this portion has been thickened or improved. The iron itself is easy to use and has done the best job on my hair which always results in compliments. Thus, I'm taking another chance that the new iron will not fall apart. Your product is great except the blace area where the finger is placed. I still have faith in your products but am order this new one with hesitation. I will follow up at a later date.

Nice little curling iron. It has multiple settings to get the iron as hot as you are comfortable with your hair. My hair is already damaged, so I like to set my curling irons very high. It was easy to use, and the curls held up nicely.

This is my favorite curling iron for every day use. I am on my third one! I use it each day and find it easy to use. It is a great value as well.

Love this curling iron! Mine from high school 10 years ago died and this was the exact one. It heats up fast works well and is hands down my favorite way to curl my hair. Good length barrel and there is no smell as reported by others.

I love everything about this curling iron with one exception - every time I use it, I burn my fingers. Every. Damn. Time. The cap at the end is not big enough. When holding the iron in place, at least one finger always winds up touching it. And darned if it doesn't hurt! A lot!! Other than that, I'd give it 5 stars.

Really great for the price I paid! I needed something good that would be delivered fast and this was the best choice. Works great and has all the setting I wanted.
