Barrel Size and styling tips.
Our 1” barrel is the most versatile barrel size and can create many different looks. The 1" barrel is always a great place to start, and then you can build your collection from there! We also have some styling tips below, that provide additional flexibility for all of our tools.
- Try lowering the temperature setting on your iron for looser waves.
- Vary the time you keep each lock of hair on the barrel. Try for 2-3 seconds for looser waves and 3-5 seconds for tighter waves.
- Take larger sections when curling and hold the iron for a shorter amount of time before releasing the curl, for looser waves.
- Normally, we recommend waiting for your curls to completely cool and set prior to running your fingers or a brush through them. But if you want to soften the look, brush through while slightly warm.
- If you can skip a few days in between washing, start with a smaller barrel on day 1 (like our .75") and watch the waves soften on each consecutive day for a whole new look!
