I've been a Helen of Troy curling iron user for a number of years. The only beauty supply store I found that carried them, recently sold to new owners, and they no longer offer this brand. I've hesitated when it comes to searching for items on the Internet because I'm not that computer proficient. However, in my desperation, I've allowed my fingers to do the walking, and I'm quickly gathering testimonials on my personal searches and purchases with Amazon.Regarding my experience with this brand, I have very cotton-candy, fine, hair and as I age, it's not as thick as it used to be; consequently, fine, AND thinning, even though I wear a shorter, brush-up, style. Helen of Troy curling irons are the only brand I've found that provides the fullness I need without crimping, burning, bending the ends. The iron is so hot, and curls so well, I sometimes can get multiple days from one use. The only problem is my own clumsiness; I keep dropping them, more times than not, and that quickly shorts out the heating element depending on the type of surface it hits. It's not unusual for me to buy two replacements a year; generally, I buy in pairs because I don't want to be without a 3/4". I have one in every size from 1" down.I'm a die-hard fan of this brand and I was thrilled to find it on Amazon. Please continue to offer your varied products so we retirees still have some buying options and flexibility; especially when it's a product that has been regularly used for years. I found ordering them on line can be quite a cost savings as well.Thank you, AmazonPatti Carter
