Is the 1.5-inch barrel right for my hair?

The 1.5-inch barrel makes loose waves and soft curls. It suits medium to long hair best; shorter hair may get little wrap from a barrel this wide.

Does the titanium barrel damage hair?

Titanium heats fast and holds heat steadily, but it runs hot. Buyers note it runs very hot, so use the lower settings and a heat protectant, especially on fine or color-treated hair.

Can I use it while traveling abroad?

Yes. It is dual voltage, so it works with a plug adapter in most countries. It also has a 45-minute auto shut-off in case you forget to turn it off.

What comes in the 5-in-1 kit?

The kit includes the 1-inch, 1.25-inch and 1.5-inch barrels, plus a ceramic paddle brush and a heated thermal round brush. The single-barrel option includes only the barrel size you choose.

How is it different from the previous model?

It adds the extended 6.5-inch barrel and the multi-barrel kit. Some owners say the body feels less durable than the earlier version.

How many heat settings does it have?

It has 12 settings from 240°F to 450°F, so you can pick a lower heat for fine hair and a higher one for thick or coarse hair.
