HOT TOOLS New and Improved 24K Professional 2" Extended Barrel Curler with Clamp for Loose Inflatable Curls | 24K Technology for Long Lasting Results and Longer Barrel for One

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. 🙏

Love this larger curling iron for my naturally curly hair! Initially thought iron was too heavy and long but quickly got used to holding it. Also happy that it turns off in a short time when I'm done. Only drawback for me is the placement of the temperature button.

My wife absolutely loves this thing. I bought it for her after her last one broke. She wanted something bigger to help her with volume and this seems to have done the trick. A quality product from a reputable company.

Oddly enough there were some bad reviews written about this. And having used it now for two months almost 3 I have no idea why. This is a quality curling iron. It is well-made. And I thought it was incredibly well priced. I love it. It definitely heats up quickly, it Creates a very wide curl. The heat level is very adjustable and seems to work really well. The cord length is great. I have no idea why the people that wrote negative reviews wrote those negative reviews. I love it and if you have long hair and want big giant curls then this is the curling iron for you.

I’ve used and loved this wide barrel iron for 20+ years. But I must say the new length is terrible!!! When working the back of my head, I keep grabbing into the hot part because the cool end is now at a different distance from my hand controlling the iron. So then when I burn my fingers, I jump a little and the iron burns the back of my neck/upper shoulders—- I’ve had some pretty bad burns there!! So now I have to wear a turtle neck and a protective glove (which is most awkward for manipulating hair into the iron). I truly wish Hot Tools would go back to the shorter barrel!!
