Bio Ionic Long-Barrel Curling Iron vs Autopilot 3-in-1 Rotating Curling Iron

Buy the Bio Ionic Long-Barrel if you have very long or thick hair that standard irons can't wrap in one pass. Its barrel runs 2 inches longer than average, reaches 430°F, and has a 9 ft swivel cord, so long sections curl without re-clamping. The Autopilot is the better all-rounder for most people: a 1.25-inch far-infrared ceramic barrel, a 360-degree rotating clamp, and a cool tip that converts it into a wand or a marcel. Owners rate the Bio Ionic well (4.4 from over 3,000 ratings) and praise the reach; the Autopilot wins on versatility and control, but its single barrel size and rotating clamp take practice.

• Choose the Bio Ionic Long-Barrel if your hair falls past your shoulder blades and you want one pass per section with a long cord and high heat.
• Choose the Autopilot if you want one tool that works as a clip curler, wand and marcel, and you style medium-length hair.
