2. Bio Ionic OnePass 

   

 This is the best product to style your hair while not damaging it at the same time. This is a rare deadly combination.  OnePass comes with an outstanding feature of nano-ceramic plates. This enables quick hairstyling and saving time like no other product.

What sets apart this straightener from the other ones of its league is the fact that it has silicone strips on the plates. Not only will this make your hair silky-smooth, but it will also help keep the moisture in the hair. The cherry on the top is that silicon iron heats quicker than other materials. This makes OnePass the fastest heating iron in the market.

Most loved feature of OnePass is that it is super quick and saves time when you are running late and want to quickly get done with your hair. It also soothes frizzy hair which is predominantly experienced in humid and hot weather. Contrarily, one drawback of the straightener is that it takes a lot of maintenance. A lot of dirt is attracted on the rod and requires timely cleaning.

Key Features

• Works just before the microwaves and a medium infrared region called far infrared.
• Nano-ionic tech ensures that your hairs get heated to the core.
• Plates are covered with mineral to protect hairs and rod from getting burnt.
• Heat can be controlled to various temperatures.
• Light in weight. You can hold it for a longer time.
• The speed strips make it the fastest flat iron.

Comparison

Comparing OnePass with other curling irons in the industry we can certainly claim that inbuilt silicone speed strips and nano-ionic built definitely stands it out from other products in the market. However, if we compare it with Beachwaver Pro curling iron and Chi Arc, we can say that it does not have the auto rotate function and requires a bit more of an effort than the ease of product use offered by Beachwaver Pro and Chi Arc.

Our Verdict

The OnePass is fast, efficient, and really makes your hair gleam. You no longer will be leaving the house with messy hair without even spending much time on the hair. That extra time spent already on hair curling can be spent on a long nap or managing other chores.

 

 

3. Chi Arc 1″ Curling Iron

   

Chi Arc is also an automatic curling iron. The automatic function adds product convenience and ease at curling the hair. You can just roll around your hair and let Chi Arc do its magic. The auto rotate feature comes in handy for girls who are not pros in curling their hair. You don’t have to fret and worry about not being an expert on the skill and asking someone else to do it for you. Just grab it yourself and press the auto button and get it done in a few minutes. This also alleviated wrist discomfort which is experienced while manually doing it. Also, the automatic function provides even curls.

Also, the best part loved about Chi Arc is that you can control the temperature. This is a rare feature and leaves it to the user to decide how much heat they want to let on their hair. Some girls are experiencing hair damaging and in a bad phase of hair, for them, it is recommended to not overheat their hair. This feature comes in handy for such users. Temperature control also helps you decide if you want pitch-perfect hair to go for a formal evening or you want to just lightly neat up your hair which can be managed with low heat. For formal hair it is recommended to use higher temperature as that will tighten the curls to last longer and look more firm. This is surely a feature to have in the best curling iron for long curls.

The ease of product use is acclaimed by all users. However, some of them have complained that they do not like the beeping sound of the product. Apparently, it is very annoying for them. So, this is just a heads up for anyone who does not like beeping sounds.

Key Features

• The barrel has automated rotation for your ease.
• Heats up in just 30 seconds.
• You can control the temperature thanks to the digital LCD screen.

Comparison

Chi Arc offers auto rotate function which is not offered by OnePass or Hot Tools Professional. Also, the temperature control feature is not a widely known feature for curling irons and sets Chi Arc apart from them. It is not present in OnePass as well. However, Chi Arc is slightly lower priced than OnePass. So, we can observe at a lower price than OnePass you can get auto rotate function and also the temperature control feature. Comparing it with Hot Tools we can see that Chi Arc does not come with rubber heat resistant mat and doesn’t offer replaceable springs.

 Our Verdict

Overall, it is an awesome product. Temperature adjustment prevents unnecessary damage to the hair. The automatic function also makes it easy on the wrists and enables you to get even curls. Chi Arc is definitely worth the money and worthy to be included in our list of best curling iron for long curls.

 

 

4. Hot Tools Professional 24k Gold

   

This one comes with a sturdy clamp and appears very well made. In addition to two extra springs, the curling iron also comes with a black heat-resistant rubber mat to lay the curling iron on that is about 4 inches by 8 inches approximately. This mat is such a life saver. Many times when you are using curling iron which is fully heated up it is difficult to place it on the dressing table or anywhere. The heat can damage the cloth or surroundings. That mat makes is easy to set the curler aside after doing a small ray of hair and then picking it up again from the mat without worrying about it damaging the surroundings.

It is ideal for thick hair which is not managed easily. The iron is however not as long as it is claimed by the company and it’s not ideal for ladies with long hair. But the curls are long lasting and you don’t have to worry about crushing your hair if you lay down for a while or sit back on them even tangling them up because of they so sticky. The curls last long, therefore you don’t need to use a lot of hair spray for them to set back properly. It can be managed with less amount of hair spray.

Comparison

Hot Tools Professional comes with two extra replaceable springs and heat resistant rubber mat. This is an exciting addition to the whole package which is not offered by Ouiast Curling iron and Chi Arc. However, it lacks the auto rotate and temperature control feature offered by Chi Arc.

Our Verdict

Hot Tools professional is a good value for money. At a good price, you can fetch one of the best curling iron for long curls along with two extra easy to replace spring and rubber heat resistant mat.

 

 

 

5. Ouiast Curling Iron

   

Ouiast Curling Iron comes with 1.5-inch curling wand which is ideal for big curls. It is one of the best offers one can fetch in less than $30. The product, however, has received a mix of good and critical reviews from the customers.

It heats up quickly which makes the waiting timeless. Just turn on the curler and get going with the curls. Also, it has an automatic shut off.  The iron is designed with user-friendliness in mind. It controls actions are placed where they should belong to. You don’t have to twist your wrists to reach the odd control buttons. You don’t have to freak out on accidentally shifting the temperature up to a burning level.

The curler comes with ceramic tourmaline which is a highly desired feature. It glides through the hair and never breaks or burns them. The ceramic tourmaline barrel release many negative ions to lock more moisture in the hair. That makes the hair look healthy and create a shiny vibe with less damage and frizz. Additionally, one button is used for all purposes. Just press the button to turn on, and later also press the same button to choose temperature from 300 to 430F. Later you can double press to unlock when the LED screen display says “Loc”. Just press the button and hold for 2 seconds and it turns off. So, it’s pretty much easy with only one button.

However, regarding the curls staying firm a couple of mixed reviews are found. Some of the customers have recounted for the curls to stay firm for long.  Conversely, some of them have encountered some difficulty. Critical feedback received by a few customers about the product is that the curls don’t last long. So, it is recommended to use a good amount of hair spray if you want to remain firm for longer. Also, fine and silky hair is observed to slip out of the clasp part. So, it gets challenging to keep trying your best to keep trying the hair not to slip out while spinning the curling iron to get the perfect curl of your desire.

Key Features

• Barrel length is ideal for Long Loose Curls.
• The barrel is layered with Ceramic gives additional heat protection.
• A single button to control the operations.

 Comparison

In comparison to Hot Tools Professional, this curling iron is more economical on the hand. Ouiast Curling Iron also operates only with one button. Both of them can heat up the iron up to 430F and provide perfect heat for curling hair. SwanMyst and Ouiast both come in around the same price range. The features offered by both of them are pretty much alike as well offering ceramic tourmaline coating barrel and quick heat up.

Our Verdict

Despite some of the critical responses this product is worth it and a good purchase at an economical price. It is recommended and a good purchase if you are on a budget and eyeing on a high-end product, it’s preferable to buy and try this product first instead.

Comparison

That is just my personal preference based on the fact that I like the 60-minute auto shut off and heat resistant glove. I usually struggle to keep my hand safe while using a hot iron, that’s why heat resistant glove is an attractive item being offered along with the curling iron for me. However, if you are a pro and don’t really require a glove you can go for Quiast curling iron.
