1-inch (2.5 cm) Wand: Section hair into clean, 2-inch (5 cm) sections. Begin styling at the front. Point the tip of the tool downward and starting at the root, wrap the hair around the barrel, leaving about an inch (2.5 cm) at the end of the hair section free to hold on to with your fingers. Hold in place for several seconds, until desired wave or curl is achieved (time will vary with thickness of hair). Release hair and pull tool upward. Repeat with all sections.
