I love the NanoCeramic curling iron from Hot Tools.
It heats up quickly and stays at an even temperature while I use it.
It also has a handy dial for more or less heat depending on what hair texture Im working with.
This one is my all-time favorite budget-friendly ironit lastsforeverand delivers great results, whether youre a professional or not.
Plus its wand has a barrel thats extra long and actually ideal for working with extra length.
The technology in this iron is great because it helps keeps the hair hydrated, and curls ultimately healthier.
I prefer to use the T3 Convertible iron, which has seven interchangeable heads that offer so much versatility.
