How can I create loose waves with a 33 mm barrel curling iron?
I just bought a curling iron and when I used it, I wasn't very happy with the results, but I couldn't return the iron, so is there any way to create loose waves with a 33 mm barrel curling iron?
Thanks!

Heres a fiew suggestions that work for me && also this is what my hair stylest does with my hair.
1) Take a strand of hair (not to larger) run a comb threw it and light spray it with hair spray. Then while its rapped around the curling iron curl it again.
After you have finisher curling your hair your curls have had time to sit and harden. Gently pull the curls apart to form smaller curls it makes your hair apear more of a wave look then an actualy curl look..
it takes alooooot of hairspray to get your hair to hold all day. If you dont spray it the curls will undo within an hour or so and it will not look good.. Don't worry your hair isnt going to look hard its gooing to look beautiful and well heald together.. Hope i helpd a bit =]

Your iron is a little over an inch, so this should work with your size iron.
From About Beauty:
1. Turn upside down and spray freshly washed roots with volumizing or texturizing spray. Massage it in
2. If hair is naturally coarse or curly, work a straightening balm through hair.
3. Brush hair (this works the product evenly through hair). Blow dry hair straight, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow cold air at the roots to add volume (cold air locks in a style).
4. Separate hair into three sections, securing with a ponytail holder.
5. To curl hair, use a wide-barrel curling iron. Starting with one section, take a 1-inch portion of hair, spritz it with styling spray or hairspray. Wrap hair around the barrel of the curling iron. (Wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. You don't want to 'clip' hair into the barrel. Wrapping allows you to curl all the way to the root). When you're curling, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid a crimp mark.
Release the curl after about 5-10 seconds (hold longer if you want a tighter curl). You should have a corkscrew curl.
6. Roll curl and bobby pin it close to the scalp. Skip this step to save time.
7. Alternate the direction of the curl as you work your way through each section. (It's all in the direction you wind hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by placing hair on top of the barrel and wrapping around, then switch by putting the barrel on top of the hair before winding it around). Alternating directions makes curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose.
8. Once pinned curls have cooled, release them.
9. Remove nozzle from dryer and gently loosen waves with cool air. You can also separate curls with your fingers, just make sure not to brush them out.
10. To add shine, spritz a hair serum .
11. Set with hairspray. Just don't overdo it, you don't want new waves to feel "crunchy."
