INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Nano Tourmaline Ceramic Hot Curl Brush, 1-Inch

Ladies, I love and die by ceramic hot curl brushes. I returned to this 80's invention in 2015. And, this model (1") is BY FAR THE BEST of them all. I have tried my best to locate a fair market priced 1-1/4" curling hot brush THAT gets extremely hot as this one. I've been through several other Conair models and foreign manu's -- none of them do.How these combed curling irons works best is --- EXTREME HEAT. Heat equivalent to a professional flat iron and by QUICKLY-yyyy moving your hair through (just like we do with flat irons) these combed iron brushes (in seconds) beautifully smooth out your cuticle, leaving a soft gorgeous gloss, and create a full body luscious curl (unlike a clamping curling iron can do, bc the clamping action is pressing the curl far too hard).You do not need to smooth out with a blow dryer first. For full volume... just blow dry, getting lots of texture, then let this smooth and curl.But they must get EXTREMELY HOT to achieve this (without all turning into some work). But also: I DO NOT want my hair in contact with the heated drum for more than a veryyyyyy quickkkkkk "set and sweep through." As, I want that curl to be hard set in for the evening. Only extreme heat will deliver this.And well, this model does this (so, start off with its lower heat option if your are a beginner;0)Though it may get a lot hotter than my other models (which, one can always dial the heat downwards if desired), because my hair is in contact with the drum for a splinter of time, this model is actually less damaging than the ones I have where I have to hold my hair wound super tightlyyyyy to the hot drum, wait, wait, wait... release, and only hope that curl sets (super irritating,)The 1" drum is best for medium to shorter lengths (or your front/top shorter layers). I'll continue to be on the hunt for a 1-1/4" model that gets as equally hot and is not ridiculously priced (fyi on this, I have previously found 1-1/4" drums that get super hot but a few months later they no longer do. It's like the internal heating coils take a nose dive).WARNING, HAIR ENTANGLEMENTS: Words of caution if you are not use to a hot COMBED curl brush... IF YOUR HAIR GETS LODGED, well, that's USER ERROR-rrrrrr, it's not the apparatus itself. So, begin in lower temperature settings until you get a reliable technique and unplug this immediately if you hair gets locked in (basically do not let your hair overlap several times).Enjoy!

Best hot brush ever. Good heat options with auto shut off after 45 minutes

The curling brush has black and red teeth the red teeth are hot. If you roll the iron down tight the red teeth will touch your skin and slightly burned. Did not leave an actual burn just hot to touch. A curled the hair well.

This is a great curling brush. Heats up quickly. Easy to use

This is a very effective hot iron/brush and is at an attractive price. I recently had several small surgeries on my right hand which made it impossible for me to style my hair as usual with a blow dryer/brush since I'm right handed. My hair is fairly short, fine, and somewhat thin on top so I needed to have some way to style my hair but with only my left hand. After reading reviews about numerous types of curling iron/brush products that were in this lower price range, I chose this and am very happy with it. The little info pamphlet suggested heat settings for different types of hair which was helpful and accurate for my hair. This product enabled me to do a fairly good job putting a style in my hair which made me feel lots better. It heats up very quickly, and did just what I wanted it to do. You do have to take some care when putting it near your face since the alternate rows of red bristles do get hot, and the rounded tip also gets pretty warm. However, even using it clumsily with my left hand, I did not burn myself and was able to make my hair presentable. Very satisfied with this product.

I bought this curling iron about 3-4 weeks ago. I hate it. It has several heat settings, but the lowest setting will burn your scalp or fingers/hand if you get too close to the barrel. I couldn't tell from the picture, but the red bristles are really short and if they touch your skin that puts the barrel too close to your skin and you will get a burn. The on/off button and heat setting buttons are right where my hand holds the handle so it often gets turned off accidentally or the heat is increased which is a really bad thing since the lowest setting will burn your skin. The only good thing I can say about this product is that it has a 1" barrel which is the size I was looking for. The handle space needs to be longer. The bristles need to be all the same length-like the black bristles. And the lowest heat setting needs to be lower. I'm going to try buying the heat resistant glove I saw and see if it will keep my hand from getting burned, but it won't help my scalp. If I could return this item I would, but I don't think you can return hair items after using them. I REALLY HATE THIS CURLING IRON.

Easy to handle for a person with Arthritis!

It does heat up well. I have thick hair that is difficult to curl. However it has half long black tines and half short reddish tines. They run the length of the barrel in alternating rows. The short ones heat up. I kept burning my fingers.... NOT OK.Also, the curls are a bit loose for my taste: maybe OK for the AM, but I'll be surprised if they "keep."
