It heats up quickly and can get very hot. I use mine set at 385 degrees.  When in use, keep it moving to prevent scorching.
I'm very pleased with this curling iron.  It is much longer in length than any curling iron I've had in the past.  It heats up in no time and it's easy to use once you get the hang of it.  I can use it without the glove but I recommend using it with the glove until you get used to its extended length.<br />It can get very hot depending on which setting you use.  I use mine set at 385 degrees.  A nice feature is that the temperature locks once it reaches its set point.  The ceramic coating prevents static and frizz.  To prevent scorching, I don't hold it in my hair for very long and keep it moving while it's in my hair.  The curl holds all day.
