PHOEBE Curling Iron, Dual Voltage Travel 1 Inch Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Hair Curler Hot Brush, Professional Anti-Scald Instant Heat Up Curling Wands, Heated Styler for Long Hair

I've been using this curling brush for a few months now and thought I could properly evaluate it. First, I have fairly fine hair that's more on the thin side than thick. It's shoulder length, but was about 6" longer when I first got the brush, so I've tested it on both lengths. I have to say that I've NEVER had a curling tool iron or brush or even hot rollers that would hold a beautiful curl in my hair for any length of time, until now! The Phoebe curling brush actually sets the curl in my hair and will hold curl for hours. I've attended outdoor weddings and BBQs in the higher summer heat and still had a pretty good head of curl (it does help if I use more product in my hair on these occasions). This was unheard of before for me.It took a little while for me to get used to the curling brush, especially with longer lengths of hair, but it was doable with practice. I think the biggest key I've found is to section your hair off neatly so you don't have hair sticking up behind the piece you're rolling. If your brush contacts some of those hairs you didn't intend to roll, you can get it caught and get panicky. If you do get it a bit caught, shut off the heat immediately and calmly try to tease out those hairs that caught in the teeth. Then you can unroll the length you intended to curl from the brush. It might help if you have another person handy who can see what's going on and has more free hands to untangle the hair. This really only happened a time or two until I figured out a better procedure to keep those stray hairs out of the way while rolling. You can use a clip if needed to hold the hair away, but it's not really necessary with some practice.I also found that if you have really long hair and you want the curl to start higher on your head than just the ends, you can start rolling the portion closer to your head and heat set that before incorporating the end length. Again, a little practice. If you're like me and haven't curled your hair a lot recently, I found some how-to videos on YouTube from Dry Bar that were very helpful.I like the construction of the Phoebe. I often accidentally hit the on/off button when styling, but the nice thing is it won't shut the unit off unless you depress the button for several seconds. It's easy to set the heat and has a digital display showing you what setting you've achieved (I have it set at about 355 for my fine hair), and it also shows you the progression of degrees as it heats up. It heats up pretty quickly too. Because of the bristles, I don't burn myself as easily and it nicely combs out the hair while curling. The cord is VERY long—maybe a bit too long for me, but it's always nice to have more cord than too little. The grip of the handle is very comfortable in my hard and easy to hang on to while working on your hair. I would highly recommend it, and have recommended it to a lot of friends and family who compliment my curls! The price is very reasonable compared to higher-end brands that probably deliver similar results. I really can't think of any negatives—it's one of those exceptionally pleasant surprises you rarely find in a product!

I purchased this in 2018 and it still works great in 2025. I'm guessing that it is still the same but photo shows a slight change in aqua handle.

I ordered this Sunday night and got it by midday that same Tuesday. Great on shipping. Did some research and decided this one had the best reviews on IG, YT and here on Amazon. I normally use a Tourmaline Wand from a different company but I even though I got my time down to 20 minutes and get phenomenal results on that, I just wanted something easier and faster for every day use. Packaging: great. New, came with everything and the wand was in a felt bag. Perfect for traveling. Product and use: Cord is LONG. Great. Swivels 360 degrees - which you'll definitely need for use. Heats up in 30 seconds. Has a lock/feature so that you don't accidentally alter the temperature once you find your optimal setting. Lightweight, the right size to hold (for me in particular with small hands). Recommend hair be at least 90% dry if you're going for curls that will last and keep their form. I started with 50% dry because I wanted to use it to dry my roots and go directly into curling. I sectioned my hair and used about 1-1.5" sections of hair. My hair is soft wavy/curly and requires higher heat to get it straight or curled. I set the temp for 380° and that was perfect for softer curls. I'm sure if I wanted more tight curls 390 would have been fine as well. It's important to use a NON-STICKY heat protectant so that you are able to twirl the wand while you're curling. I wrapped my hair around the barrel once and then used the wand to rotate up or down in the direction I wanted, while pulling away from my body. The bristles stay cool to the touch. You can easily tangle the hair if you are trying to do too much at once or if you wrap the hair around the barrel too many times. If your hair products are sticky or leave a residue, this will also create a problem for you while twirling. First time use it took me about 5 tries to perfect the technique. After that it's pretty quick and easy to use. Even heat throughout, and I love the ends that stays cool - it enables you to hold the wand and tip to pull the wand through your hair and keep a continuous rolling motion. The 360° power cord rotation is handy here. Overall I give it a 4 out of 5 because my hair did get tangled a few times and I was worried about it burning or sticking to the barrel - which it never did. This is a problem because it was still applying heat to already curled hair that I was trying to unroll. Might have been my inexperience... Will update after I've used it a couple of times. Definitely worth the money so far.

I have two others of the same brand - this size and the smaller. I absolutely love this brush. I tend to burn my ears and neck with a regular curling iron. No issue with this one. It catches my hair well and makes a nice curl, that lasts all day. It is dual voltage so works well for international travel. It comes in a lovely bag which also helps with packing.

I am totally in love with this curling iron - so much so I purchased a second one to keep in my travel bag! I have very thin and fine hair and have struggled with other irons that pull my hair out as I use them. With this one my hair curls very well yet it flows right out without catching. The price is fantastic for the quality of the product. I highly recommend it!

I loved this iron and I used it almost daily. The problem is after about a year all of the teeth started to break off. It’s like they can only stand so much heat overtime and then they start to get very brittle. I do not feel this item is worth the money if it’s only going to last About a year.

Got this one to keep in my travel bags. Have had my original purchased one for several years and it is still working great. No complaints.

This curling iron has an exceptionally long, stiff cord which is a bit of a nuisance when using the product. Also, it has a dial to change the temperature, but the temperature does not change, It stays on 355, which must be the default. Otherwise, it works as expected.
