Readers' Choice Winner: Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron
Why: "These gold curling irons really are the best. They heat up so fast, create great curls and last forever. I have the 1" and 1 1/2" barrel curling irons and I've had them for over 5 years. I have not regretted my purchase, and should they ever die, I would totally repurchase. In addition to being hardworking, great curling irons, the springs are stiff (in a good way) and the smooth barrels don't pull hair. I love them. "
