Revlon 1" Perfect Heat Ceramic Curling Iron

Revlon Product Review

I recently bought the Revlon 1″ Perfect Heat Ceramic Curling Iron from Wal-Mart for $10.48. Great price!

I’ve bought a lot of Revlon products before. So, after using this product, I decided to write my review.

I’m going to be totally honest about the pro’s and con’s of this product. So, please read the whole review.

Product Features:

Size: 1″

1″ ceramic barrel for large curls
30 heat levels
60-second fast heat-up
Automatic shut-off
World-wide dual voltage

I did like how the curling iron worked for the most part. It heats up in 30 seconds. Now, that’s definitely a bonus for those who don’t have a lot of time. It has 30 different heat settings for different hair types.

Hair type Heat level

———————————————————————————————

Fine, thin hair 1 – 6

Wavy to medium hair 7 – 14

Thick hair 15 – 22

Coarse, hard-to-curl hair 23 – 30

The safety features are a definite plus. It features automatic shut-off, tangle-free swivel cord, and safety stand. When used according to directions, it’s a great curling iron. Compared to a regular curling iron, the Revlon Ceramic curling iron gives a better, long-lasting curl and doesn’t dry out your hair.

Unfortunately, the first time that I used the Revlon 1″ Perfect Heat Ceramic Curling Iron the handle was very loose and the buttons slipped into the handle. I was very disappointed with the way that it was put together. It was difficult to get it put back together. Once I got the on/off buttons back in place, I tightened up the screw on the bottom of the handle. So far, it’s working okay. Other than this technical difficulty, it works wonderfully.

However, I would definitely recommend spending a little bit more for another ceramic curling iron. Sorry Revlon, I would have to give this curling iron a thumbs down. If it falls apart on the first use, it’s not worth the money.
