finally someone explain clearly how to choose the right curly iron !!thank you

[calliehamilton]

I didn’t realize there was such a huge difference in just 1/4 inch! LOVE the bigger waves. More beauty tips, please :)

[audrey]

I absolutely love the way the 1.25 inch barrel looks on long hair like this.

[whathaveudoneday]

Very cool, by the looks you got, I think combining the two would look amazingly natural and bohemian.

[glindabustamante]

This is exactly what I needed to know before I commit to a size...thank you. I'm going with the 1 1/4 inch. I appreciate you sharing your research! <3 <3 <3

[tanyafernandes]

Finally a video that shows the exact differences!

[iambetsymurillo]

THANK YOU. I've been looking for this exact sort of video; we have the same hair- length, color, texture and hold. This helps me make my choice in buying an iron! xxx

[natalyyepezrico]

You just convinced me to buy the 1 1/4! Thanks for a very informative video!!

[cassandracastillo]

1 inch for the win! Ordering from Amazon, thanks for the comparison because I was contemplating but I have medium to long hair and I love the way yours came out!

[Handbaglvoer]

Thank you. I have the 1 inch and love it since I have very straight hair so it keeps my curl up for 3 days. Now I’m getting the 1.25 inches for a different look. Before watching your video I thought I needed the 1.5 inches. Thank you so much. Very surprised that .25 inches already makes a difference.

[victoriallanos]

Thank you so much! I've been looking into curling irons and was so confused about which barrel to get, was afraid the 1 1/4 would be too big, but seeing both results on your hair, it's definitely what I'm looking for.

[Itsnikitax]

Your voice is so relaxing and this video was so informative and literally exactly what I was looking for!!

[noel]

Very informative video. Thank you. I’m Team 1.25” here. My hair is up to my waist, the soft and bouncy curls suit best for me.

[Amber-kghf]

I love the 1" look. Thank you so much for sharing!

[cenglar]

This video was super helpful, exactly what I was looking for! Great tips for both picking a curling iron and a nice loose wave tutorial to boot!

[nazminsultana]

Great informative video bekah, i have been looking for the difference since yesterday night but couldn't find anything. Just now got your 1. Its highly helpful thanks once again 👍

[blahblahblah]

Best review on explaining curling irons. Thank you!

[MrsQ]

Wow! This explains and shows perfectly why my hair keeps looking so messy (almost frizzy IMO) I have been using the 1 inch for so long. I finally picked up a 1 1/4 inch today and I’m excited to use it. I’ve got long thick hair but the actual strands are fine.

[trickycoolj]

Have a 1" hot tools from when my hair grazed my shoulders, and now that it's similarly long to yours I've been trying to figure out what size to get to add a little wave since it's too long to scrunch and air dry anymore. Did not consider the extra .25" would come out with that nice loose look, figured I'd have to get in the 1.5-2" territory!
