Hair tip of the day: Curling Irons!

Curling irons come in many barrel sizes. There are teeny tiny barrels,gigantic barrels and every size in between. In general, smaller barrels are for shorter hair and bigger barrels are for longer hair. Although a 2" barrel can be excellent on shorter hair to get a flip going. It gives just enough bend to the ends without giving curl. A 1/4" barrel is fantastic for giving natural curl a little more polish. Just a few well placed curls with this tiny iron and VIOLA, a more finished looking curl. Curling irons also come with a spring style or a Marcel style. The spring style is what most people have grown up with, the Marcel style is a more professional style of iron and gives better mobility when curling the hair. It's really a matter of preference as to what style will be most comfortable for you. Whether your hair is long or short, it's nice to have a few different barrel sizes in your arsenal so that you can get as many different looks as possible. When using the curling iron to curl the whole head it's nice to alternate between smaller and larger curls. It gives a more natural and interesting look to the hair. The possibilities are endless. So grab some irons and happy curling!:)
