Heatless styling methods have their merits, especially for gentle hair care. But when it comes to consistency in styling, precise curl formation, and long-lasting results, they often fall short. A Lena curling iron gives you unmatched control over curl definition, texture, and longevity—so your waves won’t lose shape by lunchtime.
Which Barrel Size Is Right for You?
Choosing the perfect barrel size ensures salon-worthy results tailored to your hair type and desired style. Here’s how Lena’s long-barrel curling irons stack up:
- 0.75-inch: Ideal for tight curls, vintage-inspired looks, or short-to-medium hair. Great for touch-ups or reviving Type 3 (loose) curls. Smaller barrels help curls last longer on hard-to-style hair.
- 1-inch: The versatile everyday choice for defined, bouncy curls with all-day hold. Works seamlessly across most hair types.
- 1.25-inch: Create effortless, lived-in waves with a “woke up like this” vibe—perfect for natural, casual styles.
- 1.5-inch: Go big or go home! Craft full-bodied, glamorous waves, especially on long hair, for show-stopping volume.
Want Sleeker Curls or Versatile Styling?
Try the LENA H11 Steam Hair Straightener for smooth, shiny results. Its vibrating technology enhances slip and shine, letting you switch effortlessly between sleek straight styles and bouncy curls.
Step-by-Step Guide to Curling with Lena
- Prep Your Hair: Start with dry, detangled hair (second-day hair works great—add texture spray for extra grip).
- Section Strategically: Divide hair into layers and clip up the top sections. Smaller sections = more defined curls.
-
Choose Your Curl Direction:
- Away from face = modern, edgy finish.
- Toward face = soft, romantic waves.
- Alternating directions = textured, dimensional curls.
- Curl & Hold: Clamp or wrap hair around the barrel, hold for 8–12 seconds, then release. Let each curl cool completely before moving on.
-
Set & Finish: Gently rake through cooled curls with fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Lock in the look with a flexible-hold hairspray or smoothing serum.
For extra-defined curls, use the LENA F9 Hot Air Brush—its vented barrel speeds up styling and minimizes frizz.
