Category Contenders & Field Comparison

Price-wise, the Hoson Curling Iron Extra Long Barrel for Short and the CONAIR Infiniti Pro Curling Titanium Corded are in a dead heat this week. You will not spend noticeably more on either one, making everyday usability the deciding factor.

Here is an interesting angle from our weekly numbers: the Ion Titanium Pro Curling Iron usually sells in a higher price tier, but it has temporarily dropped right into this same ballpark.
