Enzo Milano Conico 18/9mm Curling Iron

Well, if you are savvy enough to be reading my blog, you probably already know the answer. Curling Irons are a reverse flat iron, and what you need for everything from loose spirals to tight ringlets.

The type of iron that you opt for, will depend on the type of curl that you want and the type of hair that you have. Curling irons with small barrels create tight curls while those with large barrels produce waves. Although fine hair curls easily at lower temperatures, you’ll need an iron with higher heat settings if you have thick, coarse hair.

My favorite curling iron of the moment is Pro Silk’s 1 inch ceramic digital curling iron, it has a versatile ergonomic design and a dgital LCD temperature control that instantly heats up 428F. I am a fan of its swivel cord, and it really did create awesome ringlets without burning or drying out my hair! Check it out – and be ready to ride the waves this summer!

Choosing and Using a Curling Iron

The secret to the red carpet banana curl look is a really great curling iron, and the new T3 PRO EverTwirl Curling Iron is great. It’s super user friendly (i.e.: easy for even me to figure out), available in a 1 1/4″ barrel size for looser, sexy waves.The temperature is also adjustable – meaning you won’t make it too hot and end up burning your hair in the process.

Even if you iron your hair straight, daily, a good curling iron should be an intrinsic just-in-case member of your hair tool wardrobe.

Sitting Around, Twirling My Hair

A medium-size curling iron like this gives your hair the soft waves you want when trying to create the old-Hollywood glam look for an event like weddings or if you want to give your hair an oomph factor on a casual day.

A shoulder length hair would be perfect for this curling iron. I can almost envision the soft curls that are also giving the hair that much needed volume. The right amount of curls and volume to give you confidence to walk out of your house feeling beautiful .

It’s $89 from Ulta.

Ulta’s T3 Pro EverTwirl Curling Iron

When I have a little bit of time to prep myself which is far in between these days, I usually turn to my trusted curling iron. Adding waves to my hair adds a little bit of styling in my long hair which I wear down most of the time.

To achieve this look, I actually shared the step by step process at Beauty Bento Box back in October of 2007. I’ll repost it here for reference :

1. Apply mousse while wet then blow dry
2. Hold the curling iron vertically, gather sections of hair in between the barrel of the iron. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Depends how curly you want it. Keep holding the iron in vertical position.
3. Repeat process. Don’t pick the curls until all sections are done.
4. Use your fingers to pick the curls.

An essential curling hair tip I have is to keep holding the curling iron in vertical position for this kind of waves. Horizontal position will achieve a different kind of waves on your hair.

I have choppy bangs right now but I still take out my curling iron once in a while to give my hair some waves when I have time. I don’t curl my bangs though, just the rest of my hair. It actually looks pretty if I say so myself. I have no pictures though  because I find myself always in a hurry afterwards. Just imagine the pictures above with bangs .

I Turn To My Trusted Curling Iron For Curls

Let me share with you this very helpful tutorial that I’ve found, on how to use the curling iron to achieve really sexy curls that look like your hair’s sorta out-of-bed, beach look.

What’s very helpful about this tutorial is it teaches us on how to actually divide the hair in several sections to curl our hair correctly. God, I have been wondering about that for the longest time already since I pretty much gave up on my curling iron already. Perhaps, it’s time to revive it!

Happy Weekend, everyone!

Curling Iron Tutorial : Create Sexy, Gorgeous Locks This Christmas!

The above picture is Miley Cyrus ( more popularly known as Hannah Montana, as my baby sister worships her haha ) sporting gorgeous loose locks. Oh boy, how I love this girl’s hair.

I’ve always wanted to curl my hair – I think what triggered that fantasy was that when I was about 6 or 7, mom showed me a magazine with a model, her long, lustrous brown hair was permed in its most beautiful shape. She had loose curls, and it couldn’t be sexier than ever. My mom said, “Sophie, I want you to have this kind of hair one day.”. Then, I grew my hair long , even now. With the nature of my hair which was coarse and frizzy, I couldn’t have my hair permed with the fear of making it more frizzy and big! I consulted my local salon for a perm, and they suggested for me to have my hair undergo hair rebonding, then have a digital perm after. That sounded alot. And expensive. I left the salon that day with straight, rebonded hair.

Now that I could not touch my hair and try a curling iron for it would damage the hair rebonding done on me, I’d love to share fabulous Sasha’s experiment on her new hair iron ( Congrats, Sasha! ). I loved her look and told her she looked like cutie Hermione Granger of Harry Potter. She also wrote a review about her new beauty hair styling tool ( and toy ), and featured gorgeous Dexie sporting another style of curl using the hair iron. Wow. B5Media ladies are such beauty vixens! I’m so glad to be part of such a pool of talented beauty and fashion bloggers!
