Curling Iron for Waves

Who said you could only use curling irons to create curls? These versatile hairstyling tools can be your best friend when you long for deep, flowing waves to give your hair added texture and volume.

For a curling iron that is designed for waves, look for a model that boasts a bigger barrel over an inch wide. Keep in mind that the bigger the barrel the looser the curl, so depending on the look you’re going for you can choose the size you need.

You may already know about the different types of curling irons on the market, and although the most common is the spring curling iron which people believe to be easier to use and completely fool-proof for curling, your best choice for waves is the clipless curling iron. This model may not seem as intuitive as its traditional counterpart, but it’s certainly superior at achieving different styles. A great brand is the Karmin Salon Pro Clipless Curling Iron which is elegantly designed and uses the purest tourmaline ceramic barrel for the softest, shiniest and longest lasting curls imaginable. This model heats up to a perfect 410°F which is just right for any hair type.

So once you have a pro quality curling iron, how do you use it to create gorgeous waves? Here’s how:

1. Comb your hair through to untangle and apply some heat protectant to shield your hair from damage. Comb through again and section your hair up into layers. Pin the top layers up so you can start from the bottom.

2. Plug in your curling iron to let it warm up, then take one section of hair and place the end of it on the barrel near the handle of the iron and then wrap the rest around it moving upwards towards the tip. Hold it in place for about 10 seconds and then slide the barrel out.

3. Repeat step 2 until you’ve curled the whole layer and then keep working your way upwards until you reach the crown of your head.

4. Tousle the curls with your fingers to give them that loose wavy effect and a more natural look, just make sure not to brush them out. Mist some hair spray to hold your new waves in place and to add a glossy shine.

And there you have it! Perfect waves from a professional curling iron. So if you want brilliant waves and many other beautiful styles, give Karmin a try and enjoy the benefits yourself!
