What customers say about "Key Specs"

Hot Tools HT1181 Professional 24k Gold Extra-Long Barrel Curling Iron

I like that the heat can be set up to 430 degrees.
You can adjust heat ranging from 280-430 degrees.
Love the long cord.
It is high quality, holds hair firmly, heats up quickly, has a long cord.
I also love the extra-long cord.

Bed Head Wave Artist (BH305) Deep Waver

The Wave Artist works like a crimper and puts the perfect wavy curls in my hair. It takes about the same amount of time as straightening.
Love this styling tool - heats so quickly. You can't mess it up, and my hair looks amazing with just 5 mins of styling.
It takes under 10 minutes and leaves my hair looking so voluminous and wavy.
This makes perfect waves. Easy to use.
The only issue is getting it to look good at your roots - which I find to be quite tricky.
The cord is pretty short.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Hot Tools HT1181 Professional 24k Gold Extra-Long Barrel Curling Iron

This size is just perfect, not too big where it doesn't do much and not so small that I look like shirley temple.
I have long hair and this is the perfect size for me.
If you have long hair this curl size is perfect and I highly recommend this curl size and product!
Perfect size for me, works well.
You can tell it is well made, has good weight to it, & the cord is very durable & strong.
But the weight of it was too much for me.

Bed Head Wave Artist (BH305) Deep Waver

The waver looks like a good quality that will last a long time and I am in love with the teal colour.
Easy to use, lightweight, which is very important.

What customers say about "Details"

Hot Tools HT1181 Professional 24k Gold Extra-Long Barrel Curling Iron

I would suggest playing around with heat settings and find what works for your hair type.
It heats up very quickly and the heat settings are accurate.
It has the cool tip so its easy to grab without burning yourself and you don't have to wear gloves!
The heating element goes from 280 to 430. I wish there was a lower setting than 280. For me, 280 is just too hot.
he "on" indicator light is very, very dim.
The indistinct indicator light is pretty much useless.

Bed Head Wave Artist (BH305) Deep Waver

The iron heats up very hot too which is good for thicker hair. Its very quick and easy to use.
Easy to use it gets really hot but has a heat setting. Easy to use definitely recommend it.
It heats up quick I like how there is one one temperature so it eliminates the guessing part.
The lock function is practical so it does not take up too much space when storing it.
Also wish there was an automatic shut off feature.

What customers say about "Power"

Hot Tools HT1181 Professional 24k Gold Extra-Long Barrel Curling Iron

Swivel cord never tangles and my iron came with a spare spring.
It is high quality, holds hair firmly, heats up quickly, has a long cord that swivels easily, and most importantly, it does an awesome job of curling my long, wavy, unruly hair!
I really like the swivel factor of the cord, as obviously you turn it a lot while you are using it.
It does heat up fast and the swivel cord is a great feature.
The swivel action is very convenient when you're styling but that's also the point where the cord deteriorated and broke.

Bed Head Wave Artist (BH305) Deep Waver

The cord length is great, plenty of room to maneuver around with it. I’m very happy with it! Highly recommended for a fun, beach summer style!
The cord doesn't tangle and it comes with a heat resistant glove so that you won't burn yourself.
Love this. It gives the perfect beach waves. It is quick and easy to use. It gets hot enough to do the job. I like that the cord is long. I don't feel tethered to the wall.
Super easy to use and heats up fast. Hair turns out great. Just like you see on the pictures on that package. Cord is also longer than your average hair straitener.
Short cord - have to be pretty close to the outlet and gets a little tight when working the far side of hair.
