How To Use a Curling Iron

With the right tools, styling your hair can be a lot of fun! Barbar curling products produce perfectly soft and bouncy curls without over drying because they are coated in tourmaline and titanium with ionic components. In addition, using curling irons with a variety of barrel sizes like the Barbar Spring 3 in 1 Tourmaline Curling Iron enables creating curls in a variety of styles and sizes. To ensure silky and shiny curling results, we suggest using shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments such as the Barbar Crystal Seal.

To begin, shampoo and condition your hair thoroughly. If your hair is dry or damaged, let the conditioner sit in for a few extra minutes before washing it out. Use a towel to dry your hair as much as possible. To avoid frizziness, apply about 6 drops of Barbar Crystal Seal and spread it evenly throughout your hair. For thick hair, add a few extra drops and for thin hair use a little less. Utilizing a curl enhancer on thin hair can amplify curl results. Dry your hair completely with a blow dryer before beginning the curling process. Based on how big or small you want your curls, choose barrel sizes that are appropriate. Smaller barrel sizes will create tighter curls and bigger barrels sizes will create looser curls.

To amplify curling effects with short hair, use a small barrel. Divide your hair into one inch thick sections and work on each one individually. A comb can function as a shield to prevent burns on your scalp from the hot iron. Using just the tip of the curler, place the section between the curler clamps and hold in place for ten seconds before releasing. Repeat these steps on each individual section.

Work your way up

With long hair, it is best to start at the bottom and work your way up. To do this, simply tie up the top half of your hair. Separate the hair into one inch sections and remember to pick the barrel size according to how big or small you want your curls. Hold the end of the hair between the clamps of the curler and roll the curler around the hair until you reach the scalp. Hold for ten seconds and let it go.

Use a little more Barbar Crystal Seal if your hair is still frizzy after the previous steps have been completed. Remember that once your hair gets wet, it will go back to its normal state. In between curling, use a deep conditioning treatment like the Barbar Resuscitating Treatment or the Ionic Protein Treatment to keep hair moisturized and nourished and to prevent dryness.

Additionally, some of the Barbar irons are designed specifically to create more exotic styles like zigzags or spirals. Feel free to contact us if you need help deciding which iron is good for you. If you are traveling internationally, choose one of the Barbar hair products which comes with a built-in universal adapter so you can safely plug your curling iron anywhere around the world. Once you are accustomed to using the curling iron, feel free to create new and fun hairstyles! The possibilities are endless!
