Hairstyles Curling Irons PicturesFrom time immemorial, women have used many methods to add waves and curls to their hair. Curling irons can be traced back to the late 19th century when a French inventor Marcel Grateau invented a system of styling hair into curls using heated rods. The curling irons of today have come a long way and offer ease and convenience to change the wave pattern of your hair from tight curls to cascading spirals. A curling iron has a metal rod that heats up and a plastic grip for you to hold and style your hair. It is essential to place the curling iron at the base of the hair and then roll it up till the ends. Often most women work the other way round, thereby creating a frizzy look.
Place the curling iron about an inch from the scalp and rotate the rest of the hair through the iron as you work it down the hair shaft. Once you have held the hair for about 10 seconds, open the curling iron and release the curl. Repeat this for all sections of your hair. Shake out the curls and watch the bouncy hair cascading down your shoulders. Used right, a curling iron can lend your hair a glamorous makeover in minutes. A few well-placed curls and you can be all set for the special look. You can get innovative and add just a few loose spiral curls around your face. You can try a few seductive curls along the back of your neck.
If you want big, bouncy waves, use a curling iron with a very wide diameter. For tighter curls, use one that has a narrower diameter. Here's how to choose the right curling iron for the type of look you're after...
Big Waves
A curling iron that is 2 inches in diameter will create large, loose waves in longer hair, or help smooth short hair. TIP: Wrap large sections around iron to smooth... wrap small sections to create waves.
Slight Waves
A curling iron about one-and-a-half inches in diameter will create nice, soft waves. TIP: Curl small sections of hair with the curling iron, then clip each section to head. When cool, release pins and run fingers through hair.
Big Curls
The size used to create large curls is usually three-quarters to one inch in diameter. TIP: Spritz small sections with mousse, then wrap them around iron and hold for five seconds. Release curling iron, let hair cool, then use fingers to separate curls.
Tight Curls
The size used to create tight curls is usually only three-eighths in diameter... these narrow curling irons produce a ringlet effect. TIP: Wrap small sections from ends to roots in a spiral. Hold five seconds. Release curl, then let cool... spritz with hairspray, but do not touch!
