Instructions

1. Analyze your hair type and length. Consider the styles you wish to create. Each barrel size will create a different look depending on the type of hair.

2. Style fine hair by purchasing a curling iron that has a large barrel, one and a half or two inches in diameter. This gives you body and a soft curled line. For shorter hair buy a smaller barrel.
