My mentor in Tulsa always said to use a 1.5 inch curling iron for short hair, not a 1 inch

I argued with her for months, thinking a smaller barrel gave tighter, better curls on my pixie-cut clients. After a client's hair came out looking crimped and frizzy, I tried the 1.5 inch like she said. The curls were way smoother and had more body, which lasted for two full days. Anyone have a different go-to iron size for really short styles?

Honestly who cares that much about half an inch. It's just hair, it'll grow back.

Tell that to someone who just paid a hundred bucks for a cut and color. That half inch can be the difference between a style that looks right and one that looks totally off. For a lot of people their hair is a big part of how they feel about themselves. It's not just hair, it's confidence. Saying it'll grow back kinda misses the point when you're stuck with a bad cut for months.
