Customer Review

I have been using a 1-1/4" marcel curling iron (same brand) for several years and love it. I thought I might try the 1 inch. There is a huge difference in barrel size between the two. At first I thought I must have ordered the wrong size or my old one was actually larger than I thought. However, I measured them, and they are only 1/4 " difference in size. The difference just looks a lot more.

I put mine in "unlock" mode so that the handle rotates when you use it. This is how I prefer using it. However, on my new one, it is very stiff, and I have trouble getting it to rotate freely. I don't know if it is just because it is new and needs to be used for a while or if it is slightly defective. I will keep spinning it so that it is not as tight. Other than that, I can't complain at all about it.

If you have never used a marcel curling iron before, I highly recommend practicing with it without heat or at a VERY low heat setting. I have used them for years and I still burn myself. I get careless, grab my hair with one hand, swing the curling iron toward it to grab the hair, and accidentally get my arm instead of the hair. Ouch! Be careful. If you can get past that, it works incredibly well. I would not want to go back to a spring type curling iron. I even use my larger marcel iron to straighten my hair. It makes it much smoother than a flat iron. Plus, it doesn't catch/pull the hair like a flat iron can sometimes do.
