Dress? Check. Makeup? Check. Hair? Err! Disaster! So, what made you look like you chose a "Retro" theme when the fact is you were trying to get the flawless bunch of bouncy curls?
Does this mean you lack the curling/hair styling skills? Nah! It strictly points out to the size of the barrels you own. Ah, now you get it? Well, who said size doesn't matter? It really does, at least in this case!
So, to slay with the perfect rings of flawless curls, first you need to know and set the "relationship goals" between your hair length and the barrel size, and then, your desired hairstyle and the accurate barrel size.
Know the length of your hair. Is it short, medium, or long? Well, knowing the length of your hair assists you in choosing the perfect barrel size.
Pro tip:
The barrel size of the curling iron you choose must be proportional to the length of your hair.
If you are more like a lady boss with a dynamic, short hair, then, you should be choosing the small-sized barrels i.e., 3/4'', 1/2'', 3/8'', 5/8''.
The gorgeous and smart looking long hair girls should go for the large-sized barrels i.e., 1.25'', 1.5'', 1.75'', 2''.
If you are slaying with the ravishing and pretty medium hair length, then, both small-sized barrels and large-sized barrels are happy to serve you in adding your hair some more charm!
Well, if you are in a mood of changing your medium-length hair to short hair or vice versa, or even growing your medium-length hair to lengthy, strong hair, then, it is difficult to choose the barrel which should be suitable for all the hair lengths.
The 1'' barrel is your go to for all the length types. Thus, you do not need to change your plans in giving your gorgeous hair a brand new diva look! Be it short, long or medium, you can always curl it up with the way you want it to be by using a 1'' barrel!
