Some days (mostly on Sunday mornings when we’re running around frantic, trying to get the four of us presentable for 9am church) I truly envy the male species and the 2-5 minutes it takes them to do their hair. Other days I think they really miss out on the opportunity to create a new look with an assortment of sweet smelling products and fancy tools. Getting ready in the morning is sometimes like an art class, and I love being able to close the door, sit on a cute stool, and pretty up!
Beauty Stop Online is a treasure trove of makeup, styling tools, nailpolish, hair care, you name it. Anything you could want when it comes to dolling up, they’ve got it. Beauty Stop Online gave me the opportunity to review their Hot Tools Nano-Ceramic Tapered Curling Iron Medium 1″, sold for $38.99. I love this little weapon!
Take note of the cone-shaped wand, and how it is tapered. This creates larger curls at the top, and tighter curls at the bottom of the strand. It can heat up to 450 degrees, and a new Pulse Technology allows the iron to heat up quickly and retain its heat with an “instant heat recovery” feature. The tip is extra long, so you could really wrap a lot of hair in one twirl. The temperature dial is easy to turn, but I think it can be budged higher or lower if you’re not careful.
This tool comes with a heat-resistant glove, which is really a godsend for my frequently burned fingers! I always seem to touch the barrel even if I’m consciously trying to avoid it, and wearing this glove allows me to style quicker and without feeling so paranoid about placing my fingers in the wrong place!
What a useful glove! I hate getting burned! I think this also saves time I usually spend making sure the next spot I place my fingers isn’t going to fry me. I just grab the section of hair and go. This iron is the Medium size, and it tapers from 1″ to 1/2″, but Hot Tools also makes a Small and Large iron, ranging from 3/8″ to 1 1/4″.
The tapered barrel really creates some fun crazy curls! They are diverse and natural-looking curls, which are perfect for an updo! My hair is naturally straight, but used on curly hair, this would control the curls and tame the frizz.
