If you are just entering into the exciting world of curling your hair, you might be a little overwhelmed at first when you are trying to decide what kind of curling iron to get.  There are so many to choose from!  Here is a quick guide on how to choose which is the best curling iron for you:

1.  The smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl.  If you want to create small, spiral curls, you need a smaller barrel.  Anything under 1″ is best for creating ringlets.  And if you have shorter hair, a smaller barrel is going to better grip your hair.

2.  For volume, think big.  If you want to have big, thick curls or just want to add a bit of “oomph” to your style, then go for a 1″ to 2″ barrel.

3.  Ceramic is best.  Any type of heat can damage your hair.  You want to do all that you can to protect your hair and having a ceramic finish on your curling iron gives you added protection.

Remember to experiment and just have fun with your hair!
