Enzo Milano 25mm (1") Round Classic Clipless Curling Iron

Bottom Line

The Enzo Milano 25mm (1") Round Clipless Curling Iron is very simple -- just a 1-inch, clampless straight barrel. It doesn't offer adjustable settings or additional safety features, which is both a pro and a con. Users find this iron easier to use than those with too many buttons. However, it doesn't work as well on hard-to-curl hair. Despite a one-year or possible lifetime warranty, this product may be a gamble, as one reviewer says Enzo Milano charges shipping and warranty fees.

Performance

Creates natural-looking curls. Reviewers praise the Enzo Milano Clipless Curling Iron, saying it doesn't cause crimp marks like standard irons and creates natural-looking curls with relative ease. The Enzo Milano Clipless Curling Iron doesn't have a clamp to hold hair in place but instead requires users to hold their hair with their free hand (using a heat-resistant safety glove). This iron gets mixed reviews, with some saying it works very well, and others saying it isn't powerful enough to create lasting curls or to style hard-to-curl hair. Some blame this on the lack of temperature control. The Enzo Milano 25mm Round Clipless Curling Iron comes with a one-year warranty, and if owners fill out the appropriate forms within one month of purchasing, a lifetime warranty is also available.

Ease Of Use

Simple and speedy. The process takes some getting used to, but owners say that once you have the hang of it, the Enzo Milano Clipless Curling Iron is fast and easy to use. Reviewers also say that because it's clipless, it is easier to control the tightness of your curls. The included heat-resistant glove, however, gets mixed reviews from users. Some say the glove is a must-have because the iron gets very hot; others found the iron more difficult to use with it. And some say it isn't necessary. Due to its simple flip-switch, the iron's controls are very easy to use.

Safety

For a clipless iron, fewer burns than expected. Burns are commonplace among new clipless curling iron users, yet we found them less common here. This may be due to the fact that this iron has only one temperature setting, which users don't find to be as hot as other irons. With that said, the Enzo Milano Clipless Curling Iron is short on features in general, and lacks a major safety feature in this category, an auto-shutoff function.
