Xara 1" Infrared professional ceramic curling iron - Love it!
I recently purchased this curling iron based on what other reviewers had to say.  I am very happy that I did.  I have recently gone back to work in an office after several years of working from home.  This means I actually have to do my hair more often.  After several mornings of burning my fingers, I ditched it for a new one.  And I can't get used to the gloves that you can buy to help prevent that (and never got any with that curling iron).<br />I am so happy with this purchase for a few reasons so far...I have not burned my fingers!!  That's a pretty big reason for me!!  I did receive gloves with this and I am thinking of trying them, they seem to be a better material that the ones I had before, so maybe I will get used to them.  But so far, the tip hasn't gotten so hot that it burns me.  Secondly, I like the temperature adjustment on this because you actually 'click' it with a button, the Baby Bliss has a dial which can easily get bumped during styling (making it too hot!)  So my temp stays exactly where I want it unless I change it.  And finally, the other main selling point for me was that it uses infrared light!!!  Infrared light is a penetrating light and is actually less damaging.  It isn't just heating the outside of the hair strands, and trust me it helps hold my curls longer.  I am a brunette with med thick hair, but finer strands.  Basically, my hair feels thick, but it's finer hair.  And although I have natural wavy/curly hair, for some bizarre reason, it won't hold a curl from a curling iron all day.  Strange, but true.  Overall, it seems to be a very well constructed curling iron and I am happy I am saving the health of my finger tips and my hair from damage.  I am actually going to see if they make flat irons with the infrared technology to replace my current flat iron that is acting up.
