Curling Iron Users...

I have fairly short hair which I have always used a flat iron on. Recently, my stylist showed me a new way to style it with a 3/4 " curling iron.

I am having the darnedest time keeping my hair from sliding off of the curling iron. Have any of you ever used a curling iron brush? I wondered if the teeth on it would make it easier to keep my hair from sliding?

Quinny, if you have manageable hair that responds to low temperatures, Calista Tools performer is the very best curling devise I can recommend. If you require higher temps, InStyler makes a combination flat iron, toothed curler just like Calista's but which reaches temps as high as 450. ( Amazon, $35.00) The best feature, common to both brands is that you can get the curl you want without burning yourself!

The trick I learned for flat iron curling, the most effective for this head of wiry, resistant hair, is to flick the iron as it reaches the bottom of your tresses, winding the iron in the direction you want it to go. Sometimes it is best to slide it out as you do this like Christmas ribbon curling. In this cae your tendency to lose the hair at the end of the pass will work to your advantage. Just follow through with the winding motion and your surls should form automatically.

Good Luck
