What to Do with a 2 Inch Curling Iron

2 inch curling irons can be used for a variety of hair looks.

Curling irons come in all different shapes and sizes, and in general you can choose among them based on the size of the barrel. If you want to have tight, springy curls, you should go for one with a small barrel, like a 3/4″ curling iron. On the other hand, if loose, sexy waves are your objective, you would be better off with a curling iron that is 1 1/2″ or more in diameter. Personally, I prefer a 2 inch curling iron, because it helps give me the bombshell/supermodel waves I love! Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to look like you belong in a Victoria’s Secret catalog (from the neck up, at least!) then this is the styling tool for you. As with any curling iron, make sure your hair is totally dry before you curl. (I like to blow dry with the nozzle of the dryer a few inches from my hair, pointing downwards so it seals the cuticle and leaves my hair really shiny.) Then, you should divide your hair into smaller 1 or 2-inch sections and wrap each piece around the barrel of your 2 inch curling iron for no more than 5-7 seconds. When you release the hair, you’ll have a perfect loose wave! This look is great for special occasions or just everyday wear. You won’t believe all the compliments you’ll get!
