Hot Tools Professional Marcel Curling Iron - 1130CN

This is legit seller

I have been buying Hot Tools marcel irons for years. If you have hair that won't keep a curl, this is a great iron. It gets really hot and makes nice lasting curls. This barrel is 1.25 inches around which makes a nice soft curl. The iron is the same length as any curling iron and has an extra long cord making it easier to move around the bathroom. After learning how to use a marcel, I can never go back to spring irons again. With marcel grips, you can control the curl so much better and clip the hair much tighter. This is the least expensive marcel I have found and it works like any professional iron.

It is so hard to find Marcelle irons so I ordered this one and the handle was so sticky that I could not use it so I sent it back and ordered another and that one had a very sticky handle as well. Has anyone else had this problem and when I say sticky, it’s almost as if hot hair removing Gigi wax was rubbed all over it and it’s impossible to take it off. I’m so disappointed because I really like hot tools, but I think I just need to find another brand

I believe this had a few negative reviews because it can be difficult for people who aren’t familiar with the marcel style curling iron. Most professionals use marcel curling irons. This isn’t your typical spring curling iron. You have to understand how to use them and know that they work differently. I thought that this was a great value for the money! Works just as well as more higher priced professional marcel irons! Created amazing curls! I highly suggest this curling iron for anyone experienced with a marcel style iron. If you have only used spring curling irons, please know that this isn’t for you unless you are attempting to learn how to use a professional marcel.

After recently cutting about 2 feet off of my naturally curly hair, I was surprised to find out my curls disappeared and turned into more of a stringy wave. Not particularly flattering. I've never really used a curling iron on a regular basis but needed something to help make my hair appear "done" as opposed to "I just woke up". I had no idea how to use this when I purchased it, I just saw a few beachy wave hair tutorials that mentioned the use of the Marcel iron. The spinning handles terrified me. The first day I used it, I used it incorrectly and while my hair looked nice, it was not the look I was going for. The next day I watched a few youtube videos on how to use it, and attempted again. WOW! I got exactly the look I was going for and it didn't take very long at all. I am usually a wash and go girl, so the small amount of it took to create the waves I was going for surprised me. The thing that's great for me is the adjustable temperature setting. I can turn it up as hot as I need to. With course thick hair you generally need a little more heat than most curling irons provide. And after I mastered the use of the curling iron I was intimidated by the spinning handle, in fact, it's great. I don'tt think I Will go back to my regular iron or wand for a while. I definitely recommend this iron.
