Do you have trouble deciding which flat iron size to buy or when to use each? Take into consideration your needs when deciding. Do you want to be able to straighten and curl? Is the hair long? Do you have fine hair? All of these need to be kept in mind when choosing the flat iron size. Using the same size iron on every type of hair and style is not always the most efficient.
