Overview

Not a straight barrel wand, this Hot Tools iron has an extra long tapered barrel that widens from the tip to the base. The barrel and heater surface are nano ceramic, and the iron plugs into a wall outlet.

The case is a tapered barrel that gives a range of curl sizes from one tool, with ceramic heating and a long cord. The limit is detail: no list of heat settings, no clamp description and no mention of auto shut off.

Who it's for

Styling waves and curls at a wall outlet is the situation, helped by the long cord and the tapered barrel. Shoppers wanting a cordless tool, a straight barrel or confirmed auto shut off should choose a different tool.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Tapered barrel for varied curl sizes
  • Nano ceramic heating surface
  • Variable heat settings
  • Suits curly and wavy results
Cons
  • Number of heat settings not listed
  • Corded only, no battery option
  • Clamp style not described

Performance notes

The tapered barrel gives a wider curl at the thick end and a tighter curl at the narrow end, and the ceramic surface spreads heat across the barrel. The listing credits the nano ceramic particles with a smooth, shiny finish, and temperature is adjustable up to the top setting.
