Anyone experience a "burnt" hair smell using this curling iron? Trying to replace my current one that leaves me with a bad smell.

Not really a burnt smell but this curling iron doesn't hold your hair.. It slips out while you are trying to curl it..

I read these reviews and bought one anyway, because I loved how my hair looked after my stylist used it on me and because I figured that I take much better care of my things than most people do. I actually used it twice and it burned out!! I was disgusted!! Amazon refunded my money, thankfully!! That was a couple of years ago and NOW that I see people are still complaining about this occurring and I've experienced it, I haven't repurchased another. Buyer beware!

I dont think u can. U would have to do as the other person suggested and superglue the tip back on or get another curling iron. I havent run into that problem yet. Sorry

I had mine for longer than only a few months but it did start losing heat. I think it may be because of element getting clogged due to hair product but I would check with manufacturer to get clear answer and possible solution.

I never had that problem with mine unless you got some hair caught in it and that may leave a burning smell.

I have had this flat iron for several months and have had no problems with the handle getting hot. I am not sure much curls you are wanting but I have short hair (down to my jaw line) and it does a real nice job flipping my hair under. I haven't tried any curls before just a quick flip of the ends.

I hate it i don't use it at all. It doesn't curl, it damages the hair so much. Get the nume instead i heard a lot of good interviews about it or ghd

I have not tried to use this with a curling iron, but I did use it with my Instyler. It is really important during use that you don't spray too much or your hair might get crispy or burnt. Additionally after use it is important you clean the barrel so it doesn't get gunky. If you don't do that you will ruin your curling iron. Same with any other heat tools.

Honestly, I do not suggest you buy this model. Maybe I just got a bad one, but it didn't work and I returned it. I suggest you try one made by Revlon. They all blow hot air, but with less force than a blow dryer. The barrel does get hot, be careful if you hold your hair around it. I actually love the hot air brush as opposed to a curling iron, it's gentler on your ends, but the result is more subtle and doesn't last as long as a curling iron. It works best if you use it on damp, not wet hairI hope this helps.

I'm not sure I gave mine away since I didn't like it n it burned most of my hair off. :(

I noticed a 'burnt odor' emanating from the hair dryer before initial use and was also concerned. After a few weeks of daily operation, the odor's dissipated. We've had our Remington hair dryer for several months now, and there's no unusual odor, just normal from what you'd expect from a very hot heating element.

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.

Well I hope that does not happen to me for a while. I also love this item it does not damage my hair and it looks so beautiful. I only have 2 settings on mine. Maybe now that I know it does work, I will opt for a more expensive model.

I can't tell you if it's intentional but I've had two of these and as soon as they hit hot water the curls at the bottom straighten and the center bundle undoes itself. As far as I can tell if doesn't harm the functionality of the product but it is rather odd. I've also noticed that the first few times it goes into hot water it puts off an odd smell and colors the water yellow. I tend now to soak it until the water runs clear.

I definitely don't recommend recommend this, but I accidentally left my curling iron on from Saturday (today is Monday) and only noticed that I had done so because an object on top of the counter was warm when it shouldn't have been. I obviously turned off the curling iron, then looked for damage: none found. That sounds pretty heat resistant to me. Hope this helps!
