24K Gold Professional 1 1/2" Extended Barrel Curling Iron with Clamp for Bouncy Curls, Faster Styling, Less Damage & Long-Lasting Results

Hot Tools is always the best hair curlers. Good quality, heat up fast, doesn’t burn hair off and the curles come out amazing. It also came fast the following day and the day before the event saving me time from going out to pick one up.

The 2 inch barrel is amazing for loose curls, body, and gentle movement for medium/long hair. Yes, curls intentionally loosen and fall—that’s the point! If you need a tighter or longer lasting curl, go with a 1.25 or 1.5 inch barrel. This curling iron is excellent quality, very reliable and has a solid build. Highly recommend!

I love this curling iron. I used it while on vacation and liked its durability. I purchased it in the 3/4 barrel size and I have thinner hair which struggles to hold a curl and I loved how it managed and held my hair. The heat varies for this barrel so you can choose how high or low you want the heat. I saw reviews on the clamp length but I didn’t have an issue with it. I loved the plastic end on the end of the barrel so I can hold and roll for a better curl. I noticed that using this iron it’s more user friendly so I was able to curl my hair quickly with the same amount of parting as I usually do. I also have shoulder length hair and the only thing I would be worried for are my long hair girlies running out of barrel to curl. I’m excited to continue to use this I think it’s worth the money for its functionality.

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. 🙏

I’m a big fan of the Hot Tools Model 1102…but the OLDER version of this curling iron with the twist-knob temperature control, not this “newer” version with the push-button temperature control. My main problem with this newer model—and the reason I almost immediately stopped using it and went back to the older versions, and only pull this one out when my newer version is unavailable—is that the SWIVEL CORD IS USELESS. It doesn’t really swivel. That means that by my third curl, I’m trying to untangle the cord by holding the product upside down and letting it dangle, like we used to do back in the days of telephone cords—and all this does is slow me down in the morning when I’m trying to get ready, AND it adds to my stress/exasperation levels. Secondly, I do agree with the other low ratings that the wand seems to “catch” a little more on the hair than the older models do, though for me it’s still a darn good curling iron in that respect, because of the generous, non-heated tip at the end, which allows me to hold the wand at the end and control the “catch” without burning my fingers (this is the reason I switched to the Hot Tools 15 years ago—I was tired of burning my fingers on the wands of cheaper brands that didn’t have a large, non-heated tip)—so I do appreciate this aspect of this newer model. I also agree with the lower ratings that mention how the push-button control doesn’t seem user-friendly and is a bit confusing, though once I figured it out it seemed second-nature—but I will admit that there is NO second-guessing the turn-knob model. I gave it a one-star because I am trying to send a message to the company to DISCONTINUE ANY of the models that have this version’s issue with the swivel cord! Perhaps I simply bought the only swivel-cord lemon out there—but if this is a systemic problem with this version, I wanted the company, and the consumer, to know about it. Thank you! Other than this, it’s a great iron, in my opinion—that’s why I keep buying the older versions and I hope those remain available for a long time.

This is perfect for my long hair. Easy to use and really well at making the hair wavy. Different temperature controls.

Great size. Heats up quickly. Curls hold well overall. However after the second use, the spring sticks a little when I open the curling iron, put my hair in, and then it won’t naturally close so I have to push the clamp closed by pushing it in the opposite direction to clamp tightly on my hair.

This curling iron is fantastic. It gave me beautiful curls. My hair typically doesn't curl easily and the curls don't last. Not with this one.

Love this curling iron. The only brand I will ever buy! The gold plating helps protect my hair (I curl my hair every day), and the dual voltage means I do not need to carry heavy converters when I travel! The cord is also nice and long, and the swivel on it keeps it from tangling.

Es un producto con muy buena relación calidad precio. Hay otros de marca solo que te duran un poco más pero también te cuestan mucho más.

The product ceased functioning after three months of use, and I am currently navigating the return process. Unfortunately, this has been my most disappointing experience with after-sales service from Amazon to date.

Very interesting, it says 24K coating, but I have silver.
