how hot does the iron get? Would it curl thick course hair?

The curling iron gets quite hot. I keep it at work to fix a few curls if needed. I could not use it for my whole head of hair - like you I have a lot of hair and this curling iron is small and doesn't grab the hair that well.

I have very fine hair and it works great for me. It gets plenty hot but I'm not sure about thick, coarse hair. Sorry I can't help you much.

I have fairly thin/fine hair so not sure how it would work on thick/course hair. It does get quite hot and quickly. I don't use it as my daily curler because of the size.

Yes! This gets super hot super quick. Better than my expensive plug in iron.

I would hesitate to say for sure---my hair is very fine, and getting thinner as the years go by It seems to be as hot as any other curling iron I've had over the years!

The outside does not get hot. I think you can put a little bend or curve on the ends while smoothing the hair, but not curl with it.

Hi. I have thicker curly hair and this straightener gets my hair bone straight. No need to set it on the highest heat because that could potentially burn your hair I set mine on 375 to 400 and it gets my hair straight. I think that this straightner is better than Chi.

I love my Iron, I have very thick curly hair and it gets my hair extremely straight. I tried others and this by far is the best.

Its really hot about 420°F. I have thick hair and it straights my hair perfectly, it took some minutes to get super hot but no too much and works pretty good.

It gets pretty hot.. There is no temp control on it. I'm assuming 400, since that the max on most flat irons

I have thick hair , so I have it at the hottest setting. With that said it takes less time to straighten my hair

It curls as good as my other flat iron, a one inch Revlon straightener that I thinks gets to about 425°, so it works pretty well. If you use hairspray on the curl itll last longer too. But it does a good job on its own for curls.

Have never tried curls, though I would say probably, yes. Does not get hot in the handle area at all. This iron is skinny, but not as short as others that may have more of a heat in handle problem.

Don't know. Don't use as it doesn't get hot enough to curl my very straight hair.

I have straight hair and have never used a Flat Iron so I really don't know- it doesn't get very hot. I would say no! If it were a substitute for a flat iron I'm sure the manufacturer would state that in the description.

it straightens very fast according to my girl friend, but we are negro and her hair is thinner her sister uses it too and her hair is thicker and she says it works great they never push it up to the highest heat

You can definitely curl your hair with this flat iron. That is what I use it for.

It has a very high heat setting and will work well for thick hair. My hair is wavey and with a round brush I can easily straighten my hair.

The heat that I use is between 15-20. Not sure in Fahrenheit how much is that but from the curly iron the hear start from 5-30. Hope the answer help you.

my hair is probably inbetween thick and thin. there is no temperature control, so this things heats up quick and gets super hot. if i were you i would look for one that has better temperature control so you don't fry your hair off.

HOT! Set the memory temperature to your hair type, as this flat iron can go 400+!
