Is this heat safe? Is it safe to hold a hot curling iron? Thank you!

i never tried to put the hot curling iron in. i think it would melt a little. you might wanna put a silicon pad on the bottom and put the iron.

I store my curling iron in there so it's warm to hot when I put it in but it quickly cools down. Not sure if you use it to hold it while you are using the iron.

Your iron will probably drop in at an angle so the handle and tip would mainly touch the plastic.

I usually wait until the curling iron cools down. I have a 1-1/2" curling iron, so it takes up space. I place it in one of the smaller sections. Hope this helps.

I have put my flat iron and curling iron in while warm with no problem, but have never placed them in while HOT.

It is made out of plastic. A quick brush with a curling iron won't ruin it but will mark it and if you accidently leave it on you're looking at a big old hole.

In short, yes. My hair absolutely does not hold a curl to save its life. I think hot rollers in general are better for hair that doesn't hold a curl. The key to keeping a curl is letting the hair cool in the curl shape. When you use a curling iron they fall immediately, instead of cooling in the right shape. I own these ones specifically and I really like them. They take WAY less time to curl all my hair than a curling iron and it holds longer. I wouldn't say they're miracle workers, but definitely an improvement.

I have used my curling iron on them with no problem. I do condition then occasionally just to keep them from breaking. I honestly believe they are human hair.Sure feels like it if it's not!

Mine isn't exactly heat-resistant. After washing, I was unsure if the curls would bounce back but they did. There were a few that seemed....flat, so I tried out my curling iron on its lowest setting and it didn't go so well. It didn't flat out melt, but it did somewhat heat it into a tangled clump.

Yeah u can curl w/it, but the outside of the iron is very matte-textured, not smooth, so it kind of pulls on the hair. Not comfortable to curl with.

From my experience, as long as your hair is dry, no! It's never a good idea to have your hair wet/damp when using any heat appliance that is plugged in! So spray your hair with your protectant and finger dry it in, then curl it!

So far! My wife uses the curling iron and hair dryer and puts them back hot. No discoloring or melting that can be seen.

I do not use heat for these. I use a curling mousse and sleep when them overnight. I have tried to curl my hair about 4 hours prior to an event and it has worked but it is not as curly as if I were to sleep overnight in them.

I just asked my niece and Yes you can but don't put curling iron next to the head because it can melt.

It heats up pretty fast....It works well for me. I would recommend this curling iron. Also it doesn't get too hot, where you have to worry about burning yourself.....Some of the newer irons are dangerously hot, that's just my opinion.

I like this one too. It curls fabulously well. My hair usually curls and then straightens before I ever get to work, but with this one, it gets soooo hot that the curl holds...and you don't need very long hair to go around the barrel. HOwever....it is so hot you will need to set the temp down a little and not use it on hi, AND, like was said before, you CANNOT put it down on your scalp or touch it with your fingers, bc it is soooo hot.

It kind of was for me! I have really long, straight hair that won't hold a curl unless I sleep in French braids which isn't really a curl... This gets up to 410'f which is much hotter than a curling iron.I used this wand and a little bit of Aussie hairspray and it last for hours! And I would also consider my hair "uncurl able"

I cannot help you, as I have not used my curling brush. I have a larger one that heats instantly and the helen of troy brush is so slow I have not had the time to wait for it to heat, so just skip using it. Maybe one of these days. I think I had a Helen of Troy brush at one tme, and have never had a problem with any of them with a rolling barrel or a loose grip. The other reviews sound as if the only way to have a good experience is not to use it. I ordered a different brand (don't remember what it was, but it did not heat at all, so I guess those of us with short hair will just have to go for a longer hairdo!

Any heat causes some damage, but this is far less than a flat iron. Speaking of which, I finally shelled out the bucks for an expensive flat iron that gets *extremely* hot 430 degrees. My hair is so much better and it takes 1/4 the time

No. And that's true for any flat iron or curling iron for that matter. You'll wind up damaging the hair follicle. Granted, you're already doing damage by using heat tools, but extreme heat applied to wet hair is not good. Spray a heat protectant on your wet hair, dry hair naturally or with a hair dryer, then use the flat iron.

I do not use this curling iron everyday, just when traveling, so they last me forever. Sorry. But I do love this curling iron, it is great.

no it will burn it and may cause it to feel like burnt plastic if you use a curling iron.
