Product reviews of 1108 - MARCEL GRIP, 1", 85 watts
Review: Hot product
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This product came in a very timely manner and it is a great hair styling tool!! Works great!! Review: Love Hot Tools Marcel Irons
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I have had these Hot Tools Marcel irons before. Mine have always lasted several years, but since the last one quit i was using a regular iron, and just kept putting off buying another Hot Tools Marcel. Now that i have one again - I remember just how much I love them. They work so fast in my hair. As always with a Marcel you have to be careful of how hot they get and not having a covered tip. It does take some practice to use the marcel, but it is worth it. I can make a title curl or loose curl with the same iron. I have always purchased my Marcel Irons from my hairsytlist, and was a bit nervous to try purchasing on line. After a month of using it, i see no difference and was very happy with the price! Review: Love how it works, but mine was a bit "stiff"
Beauty product: 4 Stars
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.
