The 1 1/2″ iron is great for voluminous curls. A 1 1/2″ barrel allows you to create a full curl without it being too tight. For an extra beachy look, pull the coil slightly once it drops from the iron to ensure it stays sexy and loose.

The 1 inch curling iron is a go to for anyone with medium or shorter length hair, or for a whole bunch of waves and curls.
The 3/4″ iron is the BEST for perfect corkscrew curls, particularly for vintage inspired hair + updos.
