When we think of the gold standard of the best curling irons, Hot Tools obviously comes front of mind. Known for their powerful hair styling tools that are suitable for all hair types and textures, the beloved brand is running a too-good-to-be-true Amazon deal on the 1.25-inch Pro Gold Curling Iron today. Coming in at just $22, this rare 45 percent off price drop is one you don’t want to miss.
We firmly believe that a trusty curling iron is a staple to have in your arsenal, and the Hot Tools Pro Signature Gold Curling Iron offers endless styling versatility, with the ability to create everything from soft, romantic curls, bouncy blowouts, to tight ringlets and loose waves. It heats up quickly (up to 430 degrees) with damage-control heat settings, and “Pulse Technology,” which allows it to maintain even and consistent temperature, removing the risk of hot spots. It also features an extended cool tip for safe gripping as you flip strands, and a convenient, long swivel cord for easy mobility.

The shiny tool is an Amazon curling iron bestseller, with over 15,00 five-star reviews. But it’s also a favorite among celebrity hairstylists. Kendall Dorsey, a celebrity hairstylist who’s worked with Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B, especially recommends the Pro Signature Gold Curling Iron for textured hair, “because it gets hot quickly (it takes only a few seconds to reach 430 degrees) and maintains its temperature for the duration of styling,” he explained in an interview with The Strategist. “But it also has lower heat settings for other hair types and comes in a variety of barrel sizes, so you’ll be able to find an option that matches your particular curl type and hair texture.”
It’s a go-to tool for WWD Shop editor Olivia Cigliano, too, who’s been testing it out for over a year. “I have long, medium-thick hair with lots of layers and curtain bags, and it’s been a long search to find a curling iron that reliably holds a curl — without having to goop up my hair with product,” she explained. “This iron creates the smoothest ribbon curls that hold their shape all day without hairspray, and allows me to style my whole mane in mere minutes. I love that I can use it as a wand, too, for a more tousled effect. Out of all the curling irons on the market, this is my holy grail.”
In total, three barrel sizes are a part of Amazon’s flash deal, including the 1.25-inch barrel, larger 1.5-inch, and small 0.75-inch size. We recommend the smaller barrel for shaping shorter hair styles, or if you’re looking to create a more defined curl, while the 1.25 and 1.5 barrels are ideal for medium to long hairstyles. We anticipate that this steal on top-rated hair tools won’t last long, so run, don’t walk to get your hands on one.
