Our verdict

A mid-width corded flat iron with rounded edges that can straighten or curl. Look elsewhere if you want a cordless tool or a wide plate for very thick hair.

Overview

Hot Tools builds this flat iron around titanium heating plates with a ceramic and titanium body. The edges are rounded, which lets the same tool pull hair straight or roll it into curls and waves.

The reason to consider it is the mid-width plate and rounded edge that handle both smoothing and shaping with one tool. The limit is control: the listing gives a top temperature but no list of heat settings, so it is harder to judge for fine or damaged hair.

Who it's for

Straight or curly hair that needs smoothing, and an occasional curl or wave, suits a mid-width iron like this. Travelers who need dual voltage or a cordless tool should check other options.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Titanium plates heat to a high maximum
  • Rounded edges for curls and waves
  • Ceramic and titanium construction
  • Mid-width plate for most hair lengths
Cons
  • Heat settings not listed
  • Corded only, no battery option
  • Listed for 110 volts, no dual voltage

Performance notes

Titanium transfers heat quickly and evenly across the plate, so each pass flattens the hair with less repeated pressing. The rounded edges let the hair bend around the barrel when the iron is twisted, which is how the same tool forms curls. The top temperature governs how much heat reaches the hair, so fine hair needs a lighter hand.
