Get Great Hairstyles with Two Inch Curling Irons

Kate Hudson's golden waves on the Red Carpet!

The larger the barrel, the less defined the curl.  This is an important rule of thumb to remember when choosing your curling iron size.  If you are looking to create tight ringlet curls, a small barrel is what you are looking for, most likely under one inch in diameter.  If you are interested in creating waves and adding volume, then a larger barrel will suit you best.  A two inch curling iron is a great tool for creating soft waves that are romantic and natural looking.  These curling irons are best suited for long hair that is shoulder length or longer in order to create waves.  For shorter hair, a two inch curling iron is great for creating volume since the hair will not actually wrap around the barrel more than once.  Kate Hudson’s hairstyle here is a great example of the laid back and beachy look that you can achieve with a two inch curling iron.  Simply curl hair all over with your curling iron, set with a hairspray and then finger comb the curls loose for a naturally wavy look.  Have fun and experiment with your two inch curling iron to see all the possibilities you can create!
