Before watching your video I thought I needed the 1.5 inches. Thank you so much. Very surprised that .25 inches already makes a difference.

    Have a 1" hot tools from when my hair grazed my shoulders, and now that it's similarly long to yours I've been trying to figure out what size to get to add a little wave since it's too long to scrunch and air dry anymore. Did not consider the extra .25" would come out with that nice loose look, figured I'd have to get in the 1.5-2" territory!

    Thank you so much Bekah. Your hair looks gorgeous! I have med short VERY FINE hair. I would like the look of the 1" in curls but with my length of hair, what curling iron would you suggest? And any curls I have ever put in my hair, they slip out within an hour or so. My curls just slips through my hair! And again, what are the products you suggest? Also (sorry!) do you measure the circumference of the barrel of the curling iron to get the size of the iron? Thank you so much!

    • @Bekah_and_co_prohair
      @Bekah_and_co_prohair  Pƙed 3 lety

      I would say the 1" would be fine for you. Make sure you're using a hold product before drying. Thickening spray by Bumble and Bumble is good. Or pure volume shampoo and conditioner by pureology to get some texture in it to hold your curls.

 it depends on your hair. If you tried before the cooked you might have a better chance, but then the curl wouldn’t hold as well.

      I haven’t used the Kristin Ess iron so I’m not sure. I’ve used hot tools forever and have always had a good experience. 1” is definitely more versatile. You can always use the one inch and brush through the curls while they are still warm and you can get a similar look at the 1.25”

      This is so true!!!!! I just tried the 1.25 inch yesterday after using my 1 inch all this time on my shoulder length hair and my waves/curls didn't last as long even though I used the same products and technique!

    What is the purpose of pre heating the strand?

      It helps smooth the hair strand if it’s curly or frizzy and it helps distribute the heat more evenly so you can curl it faster/helps it curl better.

    Wish my hair was this thin. I have to curl 3 separate layers, takes over an hour to curl everything and my hair is to my shoulders :(

    Extended barrel!?! I have long think hair and the extended barrel will work better than the regular size barrel.

      That’s valid. Try taking smaller sections and give yourself time to practice!

    Wonder if anyone’s told you that you look quite similar to actress Olivia Colman!
