Curling Iron Tips
So let’s start with how to choose your perfect curling iron. Whether you prefer marcel, a spring curler or a clipless curling iron, you’ll get great results either way. What really matters is the size. Knowing what type of curl you want to create will help you narrow down your options to the right sized barrel. So check which style you’re looking for to find out the size you need. Tight, spiral curls: If you want small, spring curls then a slim .75 inch barrel size is ideal. This kind of curly style looks great on short and fine haired girls as it’s a real volume booster. Basic curl: For the regular curly look that you can change depending on how much hair you curl at a time (thicker sections = bigger curl), a medium sized 1 inch curling iron is perfect. Loose curls and waves: For voluminous curls and flowing waves then a large barrel ranging from 1.5 inches to 2 inches is your best option. If you just want waves then a double or triple barrel curling iron is a good choice. Next, you’ll want to know how to get what curling irons were created for. Start by plugging it in and setting it to a low temperature for fine or fragile hair, medium for normal hair and high for thick hair. Then, take a 1 inch section of hair and place the ends under the clip while you roll the iron upwards for spring curling irons or wrap it around the barrel for clipless models. Hold for 7-10 seconds and then release. Never style wet or damp hair or you’ll end up with frizzy results and curl different sized sections of hair for a natural look, remember that real curls aren’t in perfect rows. Lastly, for a curling iron that is spotless for the best results here are a few ways to wipe the gunk off your curling iron. • Dampen a soft cloth or a cotton pad with water and wipe off the barrel while the curling iron is completely cool and unplugged. • If you don’t have any professional cleaning products, you can use household items such as rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover, but remember to wipe it off with water afterwards. • A small blob of shampoo on a slightly wet cloth is great for removing hairspray residue. Dedicating just a few minutes to wiping off the buildup from hairstyling products can prolong the life of your curling iron and will also ensure smoother curling for your hair. So keep it clean and it will thank you by keeping your hair beautiful. Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com Kristy is a professional stylist and full time writer for Rylees.
