Seems to heat up ok. Absolutely hate the "handle" to hold down the hair. It gets way too hot and hard to hold with your fingers. Arrived in a smashed box. The box had been opened and the bag the item was in was also opened. We shall see how long it lasts. Was it returned because it did not work properly?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This curling iron gives my hair a shiny finish. Once my hair is cooled it appears silky and has a nice sheen. I like the look this iron gives my hair. This barrel can create waves or ringlets depending on the angle and degree I turn the wand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It heats up quickly and evenly. It is very light weight and the color of the curling iorn is very pretty and unique. I think it keeps the heat pretty well. I really like the digital display so you can adjust your settings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t expecting to love this curling iron but have really been wanting to try something higher than my 1 inch barrel. This 1.25 inch is easy to adjust to and makes the perfect curl for my fine, longer hair. The curling iron is classic looking in a very light pink with black and gold finishes. I like how easy it is to change the temperature by twisting the barrel bottom compared to my other curling iron. The digital display even looks nice and ensures you are at the correct temperature. This also heats up quickly and goes up to 455 degrees F so there are lots of options depending on hair type and curl hold required. Overall, I have now decided to replace two other curling irons with this one so this is also helping me to save space in my hair tool drawer. Definitely a win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never had this brand before but looks like it is a good one. Heats up in 30 sec nice color , had a slim sleek design and heats up to 455 degrees. This looks like a really good one.
