Curling Iron recs

I blame my stylist - he used it on my hair on Friday and now I never want to look back... What size barrel would I need for that loose, sexy curl look?

Your hair did look amazing in your bday pic.

Here's my opinion. If your hair holds a curl well, get a 1.5 inch. My hair does very well with that. If your hair is fine or does not hold a curl well, get something a little smaller. The curls will loosen on their own.

I did a quick look on youtube. This one seems like a good example of what you'll get with a 1.5

I agree....a 1 1/2 inch will probably do the trick.  That's what I have, although my hair only holds a curl for about an hour, no matter what I do.

My hair is super fine. =( The curl managed to stay in all day though... Hm...

You should ask your stylist what kind of products he used...I'd be interested to find out if there is some kind of magic product for holding curl in super-fine hair.

Def use 1.5 inch, unless you have a hard time holding a curl, then use the 1 inch.  I use the 1 inch on my hair, but it's shorter.

Lelekay - I wish there was some magic product.  Definitely don't try to get clean hair to hold a curl if it's super fine (like mine), I always curl mine on the second day.  The other thing I do for me - and my hair clients - is take the hair in sections, curl each section then use a working spray to help give it a little more hold before moving it.  Also be sure to let each curl cool as that will help set it.

I would do a 1 inch and grab bigger sections of hair. 1.5 does not hold the curl as long. Get a hot tools curling iron off folica.com
