I’ve used this curling iron for several months now and it consistently delivers soft, natural waves. The tapered barrel is perfect for my medium to long hair. It heats up quickly and stays at a steady temperature. My hair feels healthier after each use, and the finish is smooth with no frizz.
Bella Davies –
The curling iron works well for creating beachy waves. The 1.25-inch end gives great volume, and the heat retention is excellent. I noticed less damage compared to my old curling iron. A bit heavy, but worth it for the performance.

I love the Black Gold surface—it feels premium and heats evenly. The tapered barrel gives a soft, natural curl without over-processing my hair. It’s durable and easy to clean. My stylist recommends it for clients with fine hair.
