I have coupons for Ulta and need a new curling iron (my kids took mine over Thanksgiving break!). I have straight hair and it's so hard to hold a curl. Any recommendations? I want to get a 1 inch and a 1 1/4 inch curling iron.

I use a Chi flat iron. Only thing that will get my hair to hold a curl. I have very straight, asian hair. Not an ounce of curl.

I only use a 1 1/4 inch curler. It gives more of a wave than a curl. No specific brand though.

I bought this one a couple months ago when it was on sale for something like $35. All of the other curling irons I have owned cost $20 or less. My hair is really straight and doesn't hold a curl well. It works really well. Chi Lava Ceramic Iron |

Hot Tools is what I’ve had the best results and endurance from in my salon.

Thanks for your replies! I will look into those curling irons. I can't stand my straight hair. I used to get perms just to hold the curl a little.

There is a ways to twist a flat iron/straightener so that it curls your hair. I will try to come back and post a link. I can't access YouTube right now. |

I use the L'ange Le Duo. The air cools the curl as it's being made, so it holds really well.
