New Delhi, Sep 19 Regardless of your curling iron experience or whether you just use a barrel on Saturday nights, the range of sizes can be confusing. You may create tight ringlets, springy spirals, beachy waves, and tousled ends with the right-sized curling iron. Find out the appropriate size to use.

CURLING IRON, 2"

The 2-inch barrel iron is great for folks with longer hair since it gives hair a slight bend toward the end that resembles a blowout. With the option to have rounded ends or a very slight wave at the ends, this size gives you enough of body and volume while enabling you to create the appearance of a blowout.

1 1/2-INCH CURLING IRON

This iron size is the ideal choice for anyone who wants their hair to seem thick and healthy since it combines a structured wave with abundant body. To achieve a beachy texture, swap out your traditional iron with a wand.

5/8-INCH CURLING IRON

Your naturally curly hair will look more uniform and have magnificent curls thanks to the 5/8-inch curling iron. It significantly improves a shag's appearance. Wrap the hair just once with this smaller iron, leaving the ends relatively straight for a little mid-strand movement.

3/8-INCH CURLING IRON

It's crucial to keep a 3/8-inch iron on hand for persons with naturally curly hair. It's the perfect size to define unruly ringlets after letting your hair air dry.
