Keep
in mind that your choice will largely depend on the type of hair you have and
the kind of curling style you want to achieve. The size of its barrel
determines the size of curls it produces.
- Big Waves - A curling
iron that is 2" barrel
will create large, loose waves in longer hair, or help smooth short hair. TIP:
Wrap large sections around iron to smooth... wrap small sections to create
waves.
- Slight Waves - A 1-1/2" curling
iron will create nice, soft waves. TIP: Curl small
sections of hair with the curling iron, then clip each section to head.
When cool, release pins and run fingers through hair.
- Big Curls - The right size
used to create large curls is usually 3/4" to 1". TIP: Spritz small
sections with mousse, then wrap them around iron and hold for five
seconds. Release curling iron, let hair cool, then use fingers to separate
curls.
- Tight Curls - To achieve
the perfect little ringlets use a 3/8" to 1/2".
TIP: Wrap small sections from ends to roots in a spiral. Hold five
seconds. Release curl, then let cool... spritz with hairspray, but do not
touch!
