Review: Great curls - Hot tools is considered a professional grade curling iron. With that said it definitely is. 8 years later this tool is still performing like it was brand new. The only thing I've had to do is remove the plastic purple inserts near the swivel point and remove all the hair that was embedded to re-enable the swivel action. I can't say enough about this long barrel iron .I've had hair from just below shoulder length to almost waist length in the past 8 years and it makes beautiful spiral curls every time. I only wish they made a smaller barrel for tighter curls. The one inch iron gives me curls that lasts 2 days on my longer hair. 4 days on shorter hair. I'm now a retired hairdresser, after 45 years in the business Hot tools is my go-to I would definitely recommend this iron . Review: "This product is perfect for achieving loose curls that last all day." - Product Review: Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron (1’’) – HT1181 Product’s Ideal User The Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron (1’’) – HT1181 is the ideal product for at home and professional use. This product is perfect for achieving loose curls that last all day. Evaluation Criteria This product evaluation is based off of the following criteria: 1. Price. This curling iron compares to others that cost less than $100. 2. Heats quickly. Curling irons should be convenient to use and require little time to heat. 3. Produces long lasting curls. A good curling iron should be one that produces long-lasting curls. Overall Assessment I have used my Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron (1’’) for a few weeks now and each time I have use it I been even more pleased with it than the last. I chose to purchase this curling iron after doing some research online and finding many articles had rated this curling iron as the best. At $31.80, this curling iron seemed like a steal since it was ranked better than curling irons triple the price. This curling iron does what it says it will in the product description. It heats up quickly and produces curls that will last all day. There are variable heat settings you can choose from. The directions included with the curling iron recommend three different heat settings depending on whether you have fine, regular, or thick hair. The highest setting is 430 degrees, which is the one I use for my thick hair. It heats to temperature in under five minutes, making it convenient to use during your morning routine. One drawback of this curling iron is that it does not have an automatic shut off timer, but if you are careful about shutting it off and unplugging it after use, then this shouldn’t be a problem. Curling your hair is quick and easy with this curling iron. Within minutes, you can change straight, boring hair into beautiful loose curls with volume. The curls are soft and shiny, not frizzy. They will last all day and sometimes into the next if you use hairspray the day before. For the cost of this product, I feel you get a tremendous value. So far, it seems very durable and like it will last for years. I love my Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron and will recommend it to anyone looking for the curling iron with the best value on the market. ## Features - 24K GOLD BARREL: This versatile gold curling iron and wand is the tool of choice for professional stylists.

The 1.25 or 1.5 barrel? I want looser curls** A: I recommend the smaller size, which will allow you to curl larger sections at once with less time with heat on your hair. You can run your fingers through the curls to get looser curls. I have the 1" and the 1.25" and have medium/long hair that's medium fine and all one length. I use the 1.25" for body and 1" when I want more defined curls. The curls stay more defined throughout the day using the 1". **Q: I have long, almost to my waist hair, straight...what size should I get if I want "curls", not just a soft "s" shape? Is the 2 in too big? Should I go** A: A 2 inch curling iron will give your hair some light body in your hair. Similiar to blowing drying it with big round brush. But, if you are looking for curls, I would go with a 1" or 1.5" for bigger curls. If you want tighter curls, get a 1" wand. There are all kinds of videos on how to curl long hair with wands. You can get two different looks depending on how you wrap your hair around wand. Good luck! **Q: Is it dual voltage? Thanks.** A: It is 110V. American voltage. I bought a power converter. **Q: purple or gold??? so confused, seems like ceramic is better for hair but I see more ppl buying the gold one. help pls!!!** A: Ceramic has always been my preference. But when I wanted to buy one that had a smaller circumference, I spotted this one. The price was so much lower than ceramic I thought I'd give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. It heated much hotter than other metal barrels I have used in the past, and has a decent range of temperatures. I use the middle of the range and it doesn't burn my hair, but gives it a nice firm curl. I use a ceramic on for a 1'" curl on the top of my do, and if I didn't know that one was metal and one was ceramic, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in their results. Don't think you could go wrong with this one. I give it a two thumbs up. One other note about curling irons, while ceramic is very good, I think the critical element is the ability to be able to set the heat control over a wide range of temperatures to accommodate your specific hair composition. Good luck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great curls *by T***Y on April 4, 2026* Hot tools is considered a professional grade curling iron.

I've used all the top brands, from Chi to GDH - everything, and my most expensive curling iron was over $150. So I feel like a bit of an idiot to discover that this Hot Tools XL is less that $40 (including tax and delivery), considering it's the best curling iron I've ever used. Yes, dramatic statement, but there's no way to understate the greatness of this curling iron for women with hair like mine. It no longer takes two tries to make one curl (with regular length barrels, my hair was too long to curl the entire length at once). The extra length is amazing, and because I bought the 1.5 inch, my curls are always loose and bouncy, never tight. I do have a few tips, however, for anyone considering purchasing this: 1. It gets very hot if you turn it up to maximum heat. Even if you're confident that your hair can handle it, start with less heat the first few curls to get a sense of how it really is for you. This might be the hottest curling iron I've ever used. That being said, my hair likes the maximum heat, but it took a few curls before I learned how much hair I liked per curl, and how long to hold the hair in the iron. Better to be safe than sorry. 2. Another reviewer complained about the clip not going all the way up the barrel, and she gave the curling iron a 1-star because of this. My question is, why do you need the clip to go all the way up? If your technique is correct, you only need a clip at the bottom of the iron to hold the ends of your hair in place. As you wind the curling iron up your hair, your hair should lie flat against the iron, and you should be pulling the iron away from your head a little to give your hair a very gentle stretch. No full length clip is needed - and with the length of this barrel, a full clip would be really long, super clunky, and you'd risk burning your face with it. I mean, think about it. Even when I've used irons that had full length clips, my hair was wrapped around the OUTSIDE of the majority of the clip anyway, secured only at the ends. 3. For the best, most long-lasting curls, remember that you can technically use a curling iron as a flat iron, too. That's how I used to do it back in the day before they made flat irons! The best curls happen when you straighten AS you curl (which is why curls made with actual flat irons last forever). Here's what I mean: Take the section of hair you intend to curl, and starting near the top (closer to the roots), use the curling iron like a flat iron to smooth the section of hair from top to bottom. When you reach the bottom, clip the ends and then spiral the iron to make a curl like you normally would. Because you straightened it first, your hair should be extra flat and smooth as it's wrapped around the iron. Hold for however long you need, and then release. I find that smoothing the hair shaft first from top to bottom and then making a curl keeps the curls extra smooth, extra shiny, and they last all day - without any hairspray. (If you're a newbie to this technique, try it first without any heat - but this technique is a game changer). ## Frequently Bought Together - HOT TOOLS Pro Artist 24K Gold Extra Long Curling Iron/Wand | Long Lasting Defined Curls, (1-1/4 in) - HOT TOOLS (2018 MODEL) Pro Artist 24K Gold Curling Iron | Long Lasting, Defined Curls (1-1/4 in) - Hot Tools 1 1/2" Curling Iron, for Beginners, Long-Lasting Results, Defined Curls, Easy to Use, with Temperature Control, for All Hair Types, up to 430℉ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/15946937-hot-tools-2018-model-pro-artist-24k-gold-curling-iron](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/15946937-hot-tools-2018-model-pro-artist-24k-gold-curling-iron) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
