Hot Tools Curling Iron suggestion needed

I have a really long straight thick hair.Im interested to buy a curling iron by Hot Tools.Im confused between the 1 1/5 inch or the 2 inch barrel?Im attaching a pic of me plus my hair lolz!

the 2 inch barel will give you loser curls which will most likely look like waves on you. i would say go with the smaller barell, your hair looks long and thick so the weight of it will most likely pull some of the curl out. With the smaller barrel you will still have some of the curl maintained even as the day goes on, where i fear that the larger barrel may just end up making your hair look straight except for at the very ends.

I don't even consider a 2" a curler... i consider it a volume maker and a wave maker, but a curler no... Even the 1 1/2" makes more of a wave than a curl. When I had really long hair, I always used a 1 1/4" and a 1" together.

I've never seen a hot tools curling iron larger then 1.5 inches...interesting! But essentially, a 2 inch curling iron should only typically be used to create mass volume at the crown.

I use a 2" barrel ceramic curler because I use it to add volume and control my hair's waves and cow-licks. A straightening iron is too straight, a smaller curler is too curly. It all depends on what you're using it for. I definitely recommend ceramic, less damaging.

I use Babyliss Curl Secret. It is very amazing, It can be up in braids all day long and will fall out without a kink.
Yes it is amazing, and yes it takes a bit longer to complete a full head of hair than using an iron.

I bought it from www.haircurltool.com. It is the cheapest I found. The price only $109.99 and I found a coupon code BABYLISS10. So it only cost me $98.99. I love it so much because it curl my hair very well. If you love to curl your hair, it is really a perfect one.

Mine is a Karmin G3 Salon Pro curling iron see the website (http://www.karminhairtools.com/karmin-professional-salon-pro-clipless-ceramic-tourmaline-curling-iron.html) the barrel tapers from 1.5" down to 1".   I have dead straight Asian hair.   I use them first thing every morning and curl my entire head especially the front and sides which I flick backwards.   I manage to keep my hair looking good for the entire day and the plus factor is that I do not have any burnt hair of split ends.
