I have 2 daughters, one with a head full frizzy hair, one with straight thin hair. Both use straighteners. My youngest noticed a mini/travel. What's better 1" or 2"?

I'm sorry, I have only ever used the 2" size. I would say you can dry/straighten more hair at a time with the 2" but that's just my opinion. I wouldn't want to use a "mini" for everyday use.

The ideal sizes depends on length, not hair type. Two inch for long hair and one inch for short hair is standard, but some people prefer the opposite, for example, someone with short hair may prefer two inch because it helps them get done quicker, or someone with long hair may like one inch better because it's easier to create a flip. The temperature is what is significant with hair types. Always start out with a low setting, then go up from there (or down) gradually depending on need. If you're smelling burnt hair, it's too high (which really should go without saying but I've seen a lot of women use settings regularly that are this high). If it's too low, obviously your hair isn't going to get straightened or its going to take a huge amount of time to get it straight. I'm guessing the girl with thin hair will use a lower setting than the one with frizz. I wouldn't start either out higher than 15 on this flat irons settings.

Depending on your hair lost... I started with 1 before I lost any... I'm 28 and I have more hair than both my brother & cousin... It could be this, if you have noticeably thining or receding hairline go with 2 or 3, it can't hurt to start with 1 then 2-3-4

I have short hair that's pretty thick. It does a good job for me. I liked the one I bought for travel so much, I ordered another for home use.

I use a quarter size dollop before I blow dry my hair. Use less if you have short hair.

Same answer as the other lady gave. If you hv shorter or thin hair you want to get the small size.

Yes, and I have very short hair, although I like the 1/2 in. one better. It gives me more body as I have exceptionally straight hair. I bought them both, but do like the 1/2 in. one better.

Sounds like you have a lot of hair. I would go for the bigger one (1.5). It's going to grab more in the bristles with the bigger surface area on the brush, and likely cut down on the amount of time it would take to style. I always find a bigger barrell easier to wield than a smaller one with these dryers, curling irons, etc. My hair is just past shoulders, layered, fairly thick and wavy and this works wonderfully!

I just measured mine for you, and it's exactly 2.5", which is more than enough to work with a 2" wide section of hair. On the chance that you are new to using a flat iron, working with a section of hair any wider than that would be harder to manage without getting awkward bends in the hair.

I think it really depends on how long your hair is because if it's past your shoulder you should probably get two so it doesn't look choppy and if you have short hair you should get more than 2, depending on how long you want it, but not this one because I believe it only comes in one length

Actually 1 will do. I have very thick hair but with 1 blended well. The only thing i did not like was i was unable to curl or straighten it. The hair will not let u do anything

I would say this depends on how tight you want the curls to be. I have a one inch barrel, but my hair is quite short. For longer hair, I would say a 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch would be better.

Hi Eileendresser, if you check out my review of this product you will see that I have short hair and I bought the 1 1/4 inch hot brush first. It worked after a fashion, but then I went back and bought the 3/4 inch hot brush and am much more satisfied with that one.Judy

Personally I like the Handy size the best. The small one (or the size down) is just to small to do a decent brushing job, and i have used the larger (the size up)(my sister had one so it was in our house, but even she didn't like it) and i find it really clumzy. Just to big to do a nice job. I don't know if this helps much, but i can tell you that i honestly get grouchy when i loose or break mine and don't have it to brush my hair with. MY hair is waist lengh, but it isn't the length that matters to me, it is the way this brush massages your scalp that is so important to me.

I have this set for travel and a larger set for home. I take one curler from my full size set and bring along with the travel set. I have longer hair and it's easier to get the desired effect with 6 rollers.

It doesn't really matter about the length . The size depends on what type of curl you want. Baby curls create more of a tight sherly temple look, bigger ones create more of a wavey look

My daughter has straight hair. She prefers it to other brushes because the bristles are softer and there's no bud on the tip. Tangles are harder to get out, but it doesn't hurt her as much.

I think one will be okay. But if you want it thick and long, then two. I use 1 1/2 for a thick and long water curls.
