Tell me what curler to buy

[studytime45]

My hairdresser uses (I'm pretty sure) a 1inch curling iron with a clip, but uses it as a wand (DOES NOT use the clip). She also only loosely wraps the hair section and holds it for a brief amount of time. This makes a looser wave.

I just re-watched Verona's old hair tutorial yesterday. Have you seen it?

She has some other more recent hair tutorials as well.

I have a 2in and a 1 1/4 inch.

2in creates more of a "style" waves and the smaller is looser and more curly.

I like both for differ reasons.

Make sure you are only curling the middle of the strand. That's most important.

I use a 1 inch. Day one hair is initially a bit too curly, day two is perfect beach curls.

I use curlesque by tigi and scrunch into wet hair. Blow dry on low with a diffuser. Then I scrunch bedhead manipulator into it. Gives it volume and makes it more beachy. Then I spray the hell out of it with tresseme level 3 hair spray and don't touch it all day lol.

I agree with kellykapowski. First day curly hair is meh (see my fall picture lol). second day looks much better.

I use a Nume Reversi wand for beachy waves. It goes from thicker on one end to skinnier on the other end and I find it gives me natural, beachy waves with minimal effort. There is a learning curve to using a wand without burning your damn fingers, though (at least for me).

I use a 1.25 inch hot tools.

My hairdresser said 1.25 inch barrel, preferably Hot Tools brand. Wrap hair around the barrel, starting from at least 2-3 inches down from the roots.

I use a flat iron. It takes practice though.

Sorry for the extreme close up. I have very thin fine hair naturally curly hair. I use the Instyler and it totally changed my life. It smoothes out the frizz and gives really pretty curls that last all day.

I have a 1.5 inch wand with the little clip thing. If I want beachy waves, I put all of my hair into a high ponytail and take big sections from there.

I use a 1" Hot Tools. My hair doesn't like to hold curl though so I have to over-curl it so that it falls into a loose curl. It's curled that way in my avatar pic.

eta: here's a better picture from a couple months ago

Your avatar and pic are identical here! LOL.

The Sedu Revolution curling iron is by far the best I've ever used. It takes like 5 minutes to curl my hair and the curl stays for days.

eta:  just finished doing my hair now.  Not good at taking selfies, sorry.

*poof*

Flat Iron curls:


1.5" revlon curling iron curls:


I don't see much of a difference between the two, but flat iron curls last longer for my hair.

Thanks! I only post good pics, though. :-)

I use a 1 inch barrel and wind my hair around without using the clamp. My hair holds a curl well so I don't use hairspray but I do make sure my hair is 'gritty' to get good volume and hold. I like bumble and bumble sea salt spray or oribe dry texturizing spray.
