Avoiding Shirley Temple hair? Looking for that salon professional waves? Aren't we all! 

Hot Tools Professional has created a curling iron for all types of hair textures. 1¼" 24K Gold Curling Iron/Wand is the golden ticket for beautiful beachy waves, curls and volume. 

Ever wonder what curling iron I use at the salon? Now you know! The handle's grip is very comfortable. And we all know curling does take longer than straightening. So you want to be comfortable all the way. “The 24K Gold plating distributes heat evenly and provides smooth surface for frizz-free styles.” -Hot Tools Professionals. Most curling irons take time to warm up. But the Gold Curling Iron has a fast heat up which gets hot quickly and remains hot. Hot Hot Baby! ! ! 

It can heat up to 430°F. Now just because the heat temperature rises up to 430°F doesn't mean you crank it up to the max! Thats a big NO NO! The best setting is 380°F. This will help protect your hair and still give the perfect curls. 

                                                    Below are a list of Tricks and Tips 


 Temperature Breakdown
  • 300°F - Fragile fine hair
  • 340°F - Thin easy hair 
  • 380°F - Normal texture hair 
  • 400°F - Wavy curl hair 
                   400°F should be the max use. Anything higher than that is cooking your hair.

Glam Waves
  • All curls should be in uniform direction 

Beachy Waves
  • Alternate your curls so the curls bounce off of each other

Tips 
  • Clean hair does not hold curls as strong. Hair should be a day old for best results.
  • Always use hair products prior to drying 
  • Hair must be completely dry before curling 
  • Spray texture spray afterwards instead of hairspray! 
  • For practice: Curling iron should be off to get comfortable correctly gripping the hair inside the clamp.
