Today women all across the world are reaching for their 1" Curling Iron to help add body and bounce to their styles. No matter what length, texture or style your hair may be, a curling iron will be able to help you add a variety of different looks.

Have you ever wondered how the celebrities create all those beautiful soft curls and volumous waves to their hair? Well I have, and I finally have the answer and it’s not magic…it’s a one inch curling iron! The curling iron is a fabulous tool to have around the house for those days that you may want to change up your style. They are designed and made with the highest quality materials; they heat up quickly, maintain heat evenly avoiding any damaging hot spots, and are available in ceramic, coated ceramic and metal barrels just to name a few. The one inch curling iron is a universal tool that can be used on short, medium or long hair to add a bend, create curls, flips or waves.

Curling irons come in three different varieties; they are spring loaded, Marcel or Clip Less wand. A spring loaded iron is great for the average consumer because it is easy to use and controlled by you, a Marcel iron is geared towards the salon professional and a Clip Less Wand has no clamp, you simply wear a protective glove on your opposite hand and wrap your hair around it. The most popular and best selling is the spring loaded iron because it is so easy to use.

I recommended the following spring loaded one inch curling irons;
