It’s not a one size fits all! 
There are two things you need to consider when curling hair..

1. BARREL SIZE
2. SECTION SIZE 

Depending on the look you are trying to achieve, you need to consider the size of your curling barrel! 
For a blowout look, 1.5” is the better option. 
For more defined waves, 1.25” is best! 
 
When curling, make sure that your sections are even throughout! I recommend taking a section of 2-3 wefts each time. Anything larger will result in a much looser curl and uneven heat distribution throughout the curl. Meaning, the curls will not last as long.

1 inch vs 1.5 inch curl - what’s the difference? We curled two strands of the same hair with a 1 inch curling iron barrel (left) and a 1.5 inch barrel (right), to show how barrel size can really make a difference in achieving the look you’re going for! A 1 inch barrel is perfect for those more defined curls, or with a light hand, beach waves! A 1.5 inch barrel is going to help you get the blowout look or the no makeup, makeup look of hair!
