The barrel is not made of ceramic and tourmaline.
The barrel is a metal barrel covered with a ceramic/tourmaline coating.
(I was cleaning the barrel when I noticed there was a small mark where the coating happened to chip off of the barrel.)
The ceramic/tourmaline coating did not perform as advertised even in conjunction with anti-frizz and anti-humidity products.
The spring for the iron is extremely loose.
The On/Off button is poorly placed.
The heat setting button is poorly placed.
The iron does heat up very well; however, the tip of the iron is not insulated from the heat, which makes it almost unusable if you are accessing one of the higher heat settings.
The curling iron stand is not insulated, which may present a possibility for a burn if you are not aware.
The curling iron did curl my hair beautifully, but the curl did not last once I stepped outside. It did not matter if the weather condition outside was dry or humid, the curl simply did not last. I have used this curling with Kenra Thermal Spray and Matrix sleek.look Iron Smoother on separate occasions; both are good, salon quality products. I received the same results when using the Curlmaster curling iron I purchased from a local Sally's Beauty store.
It is possible another user may encounter better results since hair types are so varied; however, I would not recommend this curling iron in general because it is falsely advertised as a tourmaline infused ceramic barrel, when it is not, the coating appears to be composed of tourmaline and ceramic and should be clearly advertised as such, and because it does not produce the results, again as advertised. I own the 1 3/4 inch version of this and I absolutely love it. It's the best curling iron I've ever owned, and I highly recommend it.
