1 1/4 Inch Extra Long Barrel Curling Iron, Ceramic Tourmaline Curling Wand Professional Dual Voltage

Heats up quickly and good for long hair. Get complements each time I use this for curls in my hair. No hair pull. Good iron quality and value for the money.

After reading many reviews on several different curling irons I decided to go with this one by IKV. I was specifically looking for a 1.5" extra long barrel for my long, thick hair. I had a regular length curling iron with the same width barrel for quote some time but decided it would probably be easier to curl my hair more quickly with one that had a barrel long enough to accommodate the length. The iron heats up quickly, has digital temperature controls, the cord comes with a velcro strap for storage, and to me the pressure of the clamp is just right. The pressure is neither too much where I am it is dragging and pulling and I am unable to slide the curling iron down the shaft of my hair as I curl, nor is it too light where my hair just slips right through. Once my hair sets and the curls fall a bit I have beautiful loose curls/waves all day - the exact look I wanted to achieve and expected from the bigger barrel. I did read some reviews that mentioned the clamp lever was situation at a bit of an odd angle that made it tiresome to use the iron and clamp for extended periods. I did not find this to be bothersome to me and preferred this "problem" over other reviews I read about other curling irons whose clamp lever was too weak and flimsy and ended up bending completely. The only feedback I would share with the manufacturer is that the tip of the iron could be a bit more substantial to protect from burning one's fingers. Then again, the iron did come with a glove for heat protection and this personal preference did not influence me to consider changing my rating. If you're looking for an extra long barrel curling iron the delivers on performance and quality without costing a fortune, I would strongly suggest this product even over some of the more expensive brands.

The cord is very long, great for a salon environment. The barrel itself is almost TOO long. It's been about 2 weeks now and I'm finally getting used to the extra 1-2inch barrel extention. I think for me, being a hairdresser for 20+ years, my brain has adapted to the length of an average curling iron barrel. This length is great however retraining my brain to NOT grab the hot 1-2 inch extention, has proven to be a challange. Every day it gets better but just be prepared for a few involuntary burns the first few days!

I bought this for styling my daughters’ long hair. It heats up to 450 degrees, & has a long enough cord. Used it today for the first time and it worked beautifully. Fantastic value and quality.

I bought this for a gift, and it was not wanted because she couldn’t reach with her thumb to open the curling iron. So I thought I’d use it because I have a big hands and sure enough I couldn’t use it either and I kept burning myself the one time I did use it. My thumb couldn’t grip fully to open the curling iron to release the hair, it kept slipping. And unfortunately by the time it came back to me I could not return it

The curling iron heats up quickly, which is really the only major positive I found. Unfortunately, the overall design has several issues. The iron is quite heavy, which makes it tiring to hold for extended periods. When I set it down, the barrel feels top-heavy and doesn’t rest securely on the small built-in stand, so it’s always tipping over. The barrel itself is smooth, and I didn’t experience any snagging or pulling, which is a plus. However, the clamp doesn't grip the barrel tightly, so there’s very little tension when I try to pull my hair through. I have fine, thin hair, so that might be part of the problem—but even so, the lack of tension made it hard to get a proper curl. I understand that a thicker barrel doesn’t always mean better curls, but in this case, the low tension meant my hair barely curled at all. This product might work better for someone with thicker hair, but it just didn’t do the job for me.

Finally bought myself an extra long barrel and this does wonders for my hair! The perfect size curls and works well. No smell. Wide range in heat level.

I love this curling iron. It’s the perfect size for my hair length. It heats up quickly with multiple heat settings. Great product.
