Large barreled curling iron?

[#1]

I recently recieved advice that to get those coveted Sofia Vergara-esque curls, you should use a large barreled curling iron. I was wondering what size exactly and what are some good ones? I'm definetly a curling newbie but im going to try to learn!

I have a Hot Tools Gold curling iron, it wasn't expensive and gets the job done. It has a heat adjustment and a clamp to make it easier to roll up your curl, though after you get good with it, you can skip the clamping part. The 2 inch barrel will give you soft, loose curls.  Be sure to use a good heat protectant with it, I use Brocato Cloud 9, but any one should work.

Hi Gymchic365,

I really like the new Amika Triple Barrel Pro-Curler Set. I like curlers without the clamp because you get softer waves. I think that this one is great because of the interchangeable barrels. You can even do sections with all three to great different texture and volume.
