Review: It's everything it promised to be... I'm actually quite pleased with how this works. I have medium length, fine, thin hair. At first I was going to get a1"barrel but I'm glad I stuck to the 3/4" I plugged it in and the directions tell you the best setting to use depending on hair type my "hard to curl" type is anywhere between 21 and 25 and is always put it on lowest setting possible. It heated up very quickly. Before Curling I put a Thickening Lotion and Volumizing Mousse in my hair as well as used thermal protectant. I curled small sections at a time... Only needing to hold for about 9 sec and I was really pleased with how smoothly my hair slid or if barrel when I released the clip. I set each curl with a Curling pin and when my whole head was cooked down and set, I released the curls from the pins. Wow, I can't believe how beautifully they turned out. I held the iron vertically so my curls were soft, bouncy ringlets, varying in size depending how large an area of hair I used. The curls are so soft and manageable to the touch. I had nice body and just ran my fingers through to spare them and misted with a light finishing spray. Definitely a change up from the deep waver of large Curling iron. I love what this does... It's simple and to the point while working wonders in my normally hard to curl hair. I definitely recommend it you just need something to get the job done right without any frills. Very happy I purchased.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it shinny silver or a matte color.**
A: To clarify, Conair confirmed that they don't make the shiny silver solid chrome models anymore.  If you're upset about this like I am, give them a call to let them know that you want the old chrome models back again - 1-800-326-6247 .

**Q: does this one have the aluminum like metal, or the more solid shiny slick metal. There is a difference and I cant find the latter!!??**
A: I have to disagree on the Hot Tools 24k Gold curling iron.  Unfortunately your hair won't slide out of it like the Conair chrome barrel did, it's ok but not as nice.   The barrel feels like a cheap metal, don't think you're getting a 24k gold barrel for $30, you're not.  There are also a lot of complaints that it burns people's hair and stops working after a short period of time.  I also contacted Conair and clarified that they no longer manufacture the chrome barrel curling irons at all.  If you miss them, like I do, please call them like I did and request that they resume making them again - 1-800-326-6247.  I've yet to find a suitable alternative, at least for the 1 1/2" barrel.  More dumbing down of everyday products.

**Q: Have shorter hair and considering 1 - 1/2 inch. Does it come with a glove as shown in pic? Thanks.**
A: My hair is 3-4" in length and this iron works great. It does not come with a glove.

**Q: I need a tangle proof swivel cord as I curl my hair in one direction.  Is this what I'm looking for?!**
A: This cord gets twisted and tangled. It does swivel, but that didn't stop it. Once it's twisted it's twisted for good too.

*by A***S on 12 November 2025*

I had one of these for about 18 years and I loved. My old one finally got to the point I had have it at the right angle to get it to turn on so I luckily found one and it’s identical. I love them!
