A Quick Guide To Curling Iron Sizes

We receive many emails and phone calls from customers who want to replace an old curling iron but aren't sure what size their curling iron is. Because the size is rarely marked on the iron itself, it can be tricky to determine the exact measurements - especially with brands that have several models. So, how do you determine the size? The curling iron size listed on our website is the size of the iron's diameter. This is true for all brands and models we carry. To find out what the diameter of your curling iron is, it is easiest to measure the circumference of the barrel. You can find out what the circumference is by using a flexible measuring tape and measuring around the barrel. Divide the measurement of the circumference by Pi (3.14) to get the diameter. How do you know which size to choose? If you are buying a curling iron for the first time, all of the different sizes available may seem a little overwhelming. When choosing a curling iron size, keep this simple rule of thumb in mind - the smaller the diameter of the iron, the tighter the curls will be. If you are planning to use your iron to make extra-tight curls, consider purchasing an iron that is 3/4" or smaller. For full, loose curls consider choosing a 1" or 1-1/4" iron. For big waves and extra volume, a 1-1/2" or 2" iron is best. Customers with very long, thick hair may find larger curling irons easier to work with.

   Is it better to get a curling iron or a curling rod? What's the difference and which is better? I never curl my hair, and usually straighten it if I do use a hot tool.

   Hi Pearlessence, thanks for your comment. The primary difference between a curling iron and a curling rod (also known as a curling wand or a clipless curling iron) is that a rod does not have a clamp mechanism. Most rods come with a heat-resistant glove and users wrap their hair around the rod with their hand. We have several rod/wand models available including the popular Enzo Milano clipless irons and the T3 SinglePass Whirl Professional Wand. To view all of the models, please visit the clipless curling iron page on our website. Rods tend to create looser waves so if you are looking to make very tight curls, a traditional curling iron is probably a better match for you. Some clients, however, find that the clamp on traditional curling irons leaves creases in the hair and so they prefer using rods. Both are really versatile hair styling tools; it really depends on your personal preference and the look you are hoping to achieve. Please feel free to call our Customer Service department if you'd like more information on any particular model.
