Beautiful Hair Doesn't Have to Be Difficult

Curling irons are the ticket to gorgeous hair!

Everyone wants beautiful hair, right? (Well, every woman, at least…I’m not sure if most men want their hair to be described as “beautiful,” although you never know!) But unless you’re one of the very, very lucky few who was born with naturally gorgeous locks, having amazing hair requires some serious work. At least, that’s what I used to think…before I discovered my personal secret weapon in the fight against boring, lackluster hair: The humble curling iron! It may seem obvious to some, but I really had no idea how much of a difference a curling iron would make in the way I feel about my hair, and as an extension, myself. Curling irons give me the freedom to wear my long, straight, relatively “blah” hair in a variety of ways. I can use a large-barreled iron to give myself big, sexy, flowing waves. I can use a spiral curling iron with a small barrel to give myself tight, springy, classic curls. You can even straighten your hair with a large-barreled iron, which is great for those days when the frizzies pop up! Above all else, I swear by ceramic curling irons over metal ones. Ceramic curling irons won’t damage your hair, and they heat up faster - and hold the heat longer - which means that you’ll spend less time styling and more time looking fabulous. Every woman needs to own at least one!
