I religiously curl my hair with a 1.25″ curling iron… lol. But seriously. I curl my hair most of the time because of my hair’s natural wave and I’ve always preferred a 1.25′ barrel. I’ve always wanted a T3 iron, but they’re seriously pricy when you can purchase a curling iron for under $30. This one is ceramic and a “one pass.” It has 5 heat settings, the lower 2 creating “beachy waves.” I decided to finally give it a shot. No plans on returning this baby. It is SO nice. It is EXTREMELY smooth and doesn’t pull or break the hair. I curled on setting 3 and 3 days, 3 Peloton rides, 2 walks, and about 10 messy buns later, I still have beautiful bouncing curls! I am so in love with this curling iron. So far, I would say it is worth the price. Would I pay full price for it? Probably not. But when it goes on sale, definitely worth grabbing one!
