Conair INFINITIPRO Tourmaline 1 1/2-Inch Ceramic Curling Iron, 1 ½ inch barrel produces soft waves – for use on medium and long hair

I already had this curler in the 1" size. That one is great for big, soft curls. But some sections of my hair are very stubborn and don't like to curl or stayed curled. I also sometimes wanted a more pronounced curl. The 3/4 inch was the perfect diameter to get the fun, bouncy curls I wanted for some looks. The curl lasts for days! With no product - just my hair and this curler. Which is saying something as my baby fine hair is very hard to curl. A tip to getting curls that last without product - mist your hair with water before curling. I learned that trick from a Conair steam iron I owned years ago - it was the first curling iron that gave me curls that lasted. Sadly, mine succumbed to mineral deposits clogging the water line and they don't seem to make the steam irons anymore. Misting your hair works nearly as well though. My original foray into ceramic irons was years ago when they first hit the major chains and only plain ceramic was available. The plain ceramic was far too rough for my fine hair. My hair would cling to it and break, so I went back to the metal ones that left me with flyaways and lots of split ends. Then I read about tourmaline ceramic. Seemed to be an improvement over the ones I used in the past, so I purchased the Revlon tourmaline curler in the 1". Loved the tourmaline, hated the curler. The tourmaline worked great to smooth my frizz gently and make my hair shine; however, the curler kept shutting off on me while I was trying to curl my hair and the clamp cover fell off after a couple weeks of use. The cover I just glued it back on, but I could not get the iron to stay on for a whole curling session. I have loved previous Conair items I have used, so I decided to give their tourmaline a try. *The tourmaline finish wasn't as smooth as the Revlon finish, but it doesn't tear my hair like the plain ceramic curlers, so it's still a win. *The heat STAYED ON!! *The curl lasted longer than the Revlon curler. *I like the heating controls a lot better on the Conair. You can choose the actual Fahrenheit temperature (who knows what 22 actually is?). *The barrel cover they include with this curler is also a big plus - solid and easy to put on. *Another plus is the tab counter stand - nothing for your hair to get hung up on and nothing to manage before putting the iron down. *The cord is quality; it swivels easily and doesn't twist into a knot (the Revlon one did - hard to curl when you're fighting a cord).

Great great tool. This is my 3rd replacement. I’ve purchased a new curling iron approximately every 8 years. Product faster heating element & very happy in getting ready Highly recommended this curling iron & brand

This is an awesome curling iron, which heats up super fast and even across the entire curling surface (no hot spots). The multi-heat settings and LCD readout are also clever and very useful features as well. The cost is amazing and the shipping from Amazon couldn't be faster! So, with all of these raves, why do I not give it a perfect 5 star rating? Well, two minor quibles keep me from giving it a perfect score. First of all, the LCD panel displays the temperature setting that you selected, but it gives you no indication of when the iron has been heated to that setting. There should be some sort of visible notification to let the user know that the iron has achieved the desired temperature. Also, included in the box is a clever slip on cover that you can supposedly slide over the iron, after it has been shut off, to protect you from the hot surface of the slowly cooling iron. However, the slip on sleeve becomes extremely hot to the touch, so it offers very little protection. And since the cover is plastic I am afraid that it could possibly melt and/or cause some damage to the iron surface. Overall I think this curling iron deserves a solid 4 and 1/2 stars, but falls short of a perfect 5. I feel very confident in recommending it to anyone looking for a high quality iron that will meet or exceed their expectations. This iron is a top performer with just a couple of little shortcomings.

I always get these. Works great for thick hair too straighten and curl the way you want.

Great size if you want a tighter curl. Great for short hair. Holds hair firmly and releases hair very easily. Very smooth, no sticking. Several temp levels make it easy to control the curl you want. Nice long cord.

This is a great curly iron

I had one very similar to this one and when it was on it's last leg I saw this and bought it because my last one was a Conair that lasted 15 or more years. But this one has a tip on it that people say is too short so they say their hand slides down and they get burned... no, that's not the problem. The black tip ITSELF gets burning hot a little more than halfway down on it where it's supposed to be cool! I burned myself on it a few times. It really hurt. I had to use aloe vera on my burn. The other thing that is wrong with this one is that the clamp is not very strong and your hair slides right out. I had to keep re-rolling my hair while I was in a hurry. I sent this one back and got "old faithful" Conair "Instant Heat" Curling Iron. It never accidentally gets shut off, the tip never gets hot, and it will last for years and years. And even though it's not tourmaline, I saw no difference at all in my hair. You might want to check that one out.

Love love love it, makes wave like the ocean lol

Not good

Great value, fast shipping. Works great! Love that you can adjust the temp. It also heats up super quick and includes a cover.

Provides great heat and curls.

Barely curls the hair

Heats fast and works perfectly.
