Does anyone still use curling irons?

I own 2, but only use them for emergencies when I want a curl but don't have time for a no/low-heat style. In fact, my curling irons get less play these days than my flat iron! Really, I'm trying to phase both of them out.

No. I can't remember the last time I used a curling iron, it's been years. I do own a few though.

Ditto. I have large and small barrel irons but they have been in the bottom bathroom drawer for quite awhile. I was never any good at hot curling my hair. Since I joined this site, I use Carusos for spiral curls and such.

I rarely use it since LHCF. I'm natural, so when I flat iron my hair, I may use the curling iron just for an extra bump, but I was a real curling iron junkie in the past so I'm forcing myself to break the habit. Overall I'm forcing myself to use as little heat as possible!
I'll probably break it out for special occasions, but who knows, I may switch to rods soon..
