The CurlBar by Hot Toolsis ergonomically angled and uniquely shaped like an "L" which helps stylists achieve long-lasting curls in seconds without strain. This iron also features an optimal time feature, which can be set according to the client's hair type and texture.

"Gone are the days of awkwardly holding your curling iron upside down and backwards in hopes of creating the perfect beach waves. With Hot Tools’ new curl bar, which is shaped at a 90° angle to easily spin your strands into spirals, all you need to do is hold the wand upright, wrap your hair around the bar and let your waves take shape."

--Jillian Ruffo, People Style

This singling out had Terri Taricco-Cropp, vice president of marketing for the professional beauty group at Helen of Troy, makers of the CurlBar, understandably proud.

"We are the ONLY hair appliance on the list!" Taricco-Cropp says. "Go Hot Tools and team!"
