It gets hot enough, I have medium thick hair, the only problem with it is the size...if your hair is not mid length or shorter, you won't like it. I used it in Europe and it did the job, but I would only use it for travel, not at home. Also, because of the design, you can burn yourself easily.

I have short hair that's pretty thick. It does a good job for me. I liked the one I bought for travel so much, I ordered another for home use.

I'm not sure of the actual temperature, however I have long, fairly thick hair and it curled mine just fine...and the curl held for several days. I just curled the ends and since this has a very small barrel, I did smaller sections of hair than I do with my full size curler. Just one word of caution...it's easy to burn your fingers if you forget that the end of the barrel is VERY small and try to grab it like a full size curler. :-)

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 cannot tell you a temp but I have really coarse hair that requires an extra hot iron and this one gets really hot.

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.

500F, it heats up fast, but it too, damage the hair. My advice would be to not use the highest heat especially if you have fine- normal hair.

Yes I curled mine on the highest heat setting, and then straightned it again, but like any normal hair im sure if you left it on for to long it will burn, i left my heat iron on my counter for to long and it burned that. It gets staticy though so use a light mist spray bottle to keep it down. But to answer your question yes! :)

The one that I have gets very very hot. I need a lot of heat for my hair to hold curls. This one comes with a glove but I have to use 2 gloves with mine. I love this tool and am going to get another one but just a little bigger.

I think so .my hair is normal to thick hair with a little wave and this doesn't curl my hair it doesn't get hot enough so I got rid of it.

I have never tried to curl my hair with it, but just the ends, and it works fine. It does heat up pretty quickly, and very hot. I have it for few months now, and I LOVE IT! Hands down my fav flat iron so far.

My hair is curly but fine, so this product is perfect because it has a 360/370 heat setting that doesn't sear my hair or make it smell "burnt". Even putting it to its highest setting usually works well and doesn't harm it, but its harder for me to get the ends to curl. I'm not sure how this product would work for very coarse hair.

Maybe I'm breaking the rules, but I use a med/low heat and hi blow setting and it works great for me. Maybe there is the minutest amount of hair separation that would not have happened if I had used it on cold (and taken FOREVER to dry it), but my curls always come out pretty tight and neat.

The temperatures go from 300-450. I, too, have fine hair and with other irons have had problems with the plate being different temperatures on the edges from the middle, which ultimately let to serious hair damage. I have not experienced this at all with this iron.

Hi Amber, it gets very hot. Hotter then your regular curler. Also it doesn't have any support "legs" if you want to put it down so I was hanging it over the towel holder "bar"

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 think this dryer gets very hot. I Have to turn it down to warm. And I think it does dry the hair faster. And because I dry my hair in the garage I stand up and read a book and turn around to dry it faster

I don't know but it has a wide range. My hair is difficult to curl so I keep it on the hottest setting. I grab a hunk of hair, flat iron it, then use a roller. My hair gets so hot I practically burn my fingers sometimes and I'm forced to drop the hair, so I think it would be hot enough. Hope the info helps.

hi, i just got a chi a little while ago and it works very well! i think it curls better than anything.. and i thought when i got it that i wouldnt get hot on the outside but it actually does.. stinks right? but i learned how to curl my hair very well without putting my fingers on that end of the straightener. i think you should get the chi anyways and just learn how to do it without touching it. its actually a lot easier than it seems.. and practice makes perfect... i did not go out in public the first time i curled it :P
