Take the larger one when you say heave curly hair would you mind specifying your ethnicity I got this for thick negro hair. It works great the large one is better for thick curly hair

It can be used to straighten heavy curly hair. It also polishes and shines the hair. Most likely a 2 inch would work the best for your hair.

My hair is just past my shoulders in length, and I use rollers 2" in diameter. I fit in there perfectly but I think anything bigger wouldn't fit comfortably.

If you want smaller (ringlet type curls) then go with the smaller barrel. The larger barrel is going to give you bigger (beach wave) curls.

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.

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 have long hair and I chose 1 1/4 inch. It is perfect for loose big curls. Hope this helps.

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!

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.

I have used a remington wet 2 straight , and ill tell you . I made a great choice by switching to this conair straightener . it heats up extremely quick , and the plates move according to the thickness of your hair and decrease the puling at the ends which can be relatively painful . its overall a really good hair product .

Generally speaking, 2 inches is good for shoulder length hair. If your hair is heavily layered (as opposed to all the same length) and/or very fine you may want to go the size down. If you have bangs and want to use the 2 inch model on them, it will be far too large. But again, if you have medium to thick hair at shoulder length, the 2 inch would be the way to go.

i never used the biggest ones but i think they ranged from about 1 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch. the smaller ones always worked better for my daughters long hair.

I must have the 1-1/2" one as it is way too big for my pixie cut. Really can't use it effectively.

I own both 1 mm and 1.5 mm. My skin is quite resilient so they both work fine for me. If you are sensitive to pain perhaps you should start with the 1 mm system.

I have shoulder length hair, and the size of this spiral curling iron worked great for me. I had nice full curls. The elongated plastic tip really helps with control and keeping the fingertips from getting burned.

I had long hair when I got this. Its also semi straight but gets a funky wave in it. I always used a 2 inch but I really like this 1 inch. This one heats really fast which may be why it works so well.

I have really long hair but each plate has 3 waves in it and I can never get to close to my scalp without burning it so in my opionion if i wouldnt want to use it if my hair was any shorter then about shoulder length. Hope that helps you out some!

I think 1 1/4 in is a good size for short, fine, and thin hair. I also have a 1 1/2 in one and I like the 1 1/4 in better.
