If you are a person with naturally straight hair, your absolute best friend may be your curling iron. You see, that is usually how it always works. If you have curly hair, you wish that your hair is sleek, smooth and straight. If you have straight hair, you wish that your hair had curl, bounce and volume. Luckily for everyone, there are lots of great styling products and appliances on the market that can help us achieve just about any style that we are looking for.

If you are looking for bigger, runway-style curls, the CHI Professional Ceramic Curling Iron can help you create your style quickly and easily. This iron has a 1 1/2" barrel and an ergonomic handle, making it very easy to hold and use. You can also control the heat setting yourself to adjust to your hair type or the kind of style that you are looking for.

When looking to use a curling iron to style your hair, you want to be sure that you start with clean, dry hair. It may be easiest to clip your hair back in multiple sections and style one at a time. Some people like to use a light-hold hair spray before they start. It is best to start underneath, especially if you have a longer style or thicker hair type.

To begin curling, you should open the iron and insert your hair, being careful to close down on the hair evenly at the ends. Roll the curling iron up toward your scalp and hold for 10 to 15 seconds. Now, open the curling iron to release the curl. Follow this same pattern on the other sections until all of the hair has been curled.

For a sexy, sultry style you can now flip your head and shake out the curls a bit. You can style the rest of the way with your fingertips. For added hold, you can use another touch of light hair spray to maintain the life of your curls. If it is a tighter, smaller curl that you desire, all you need to do is use a smaller barreled curling iron on your hair and follow the previous steps.
