does this create tight curls as well?

It depends on how long you leave the iron in your hair. Honestly if your looking for SUPER tight curls you should get the Baby Curls instead of the Grande but I think the Grande does a great job with looser waves and tighter more defined curls depending on how long you leave it in. I'd say 5-10 seconds would be pretty loose and 15-20 seconds would be tighter and defined.

I have thick hair strands that become tight curls when I use this rod. I lose a couple inches in hair "spring" which lasts days. I do recommend being very careful not to birn yourself with this rod - I've gotten myself a couple times on my wrist when holding the hair ends - its a pretty good burn for a millisecond of skin contact...or smarter yet, use the glove that comes with the rod. LOL

If the wand held on the hair longer the tighter the girls become. For smaller curls use the narrower part of the wand.

Yes. I curled my friend's hair this weekend (she had fine limp hair also) with the straightener and it stayed all night into the next day. The curls come out tighter and voluminous. Go on youtube and watch how people curl their hair with a straightener. It comes out beautiful and stays for a long time irregardless of what hair type you have. I would also recommend using the curling irons that come in this box. I have thick hair that does not hold a curl well so the curling irons do very little for me. I think that if they are used with finer hair the curls will probably stay and it will give a nice wavy look. Yes.

It could help keep waves in - my hair stays nice and curly without frizz all day with this cream. I'm not sure it will magically make straight hair curly unless you hand crimp it or something.

No. Only straighten it. It works, strangely, very well on (even really) straight hair to get rid of the little quirks (like parts of hair tending to curl under or outward naturally). But no curls!

yes I have really fine hair so I don't use it to flatten as much as I use it to curl. I got this for me and my daughter loves it so much I am going to have to purchase another one.

Well my hair is wavy not curly and thickness and is on the medium side, it works well for me. When I use it, it does not make my hair feel stiff unless you use a lot.

The size of the barrel determines the tightness of the curl. My daughter loves the size of the curls using this curling iron and she has long fine hair. It has worked really well and we are happy with the product.

I think that would all depend on how tight you want the curl. This curling iron should be fine. You can always loosen the curl if it is too tight. This iron is very easy to use and the curls last all day.

Yeah, it probably would. Maybe loosen the curls a bit so they're not so tight.

Hi, I honestly can't say yes to your question because I only used it with my flat iron. However, my flat iron does have rounded edges that enable me to create great curls and I didn't get any "sticking" of my hair to the iron due to the product like I have with other hair products. Hope that's helpful. Thanks for asking.

I believe so. I really love this product, but the key for me is to put it on fairly wet hair and then scrunch will drying with a diffuser. Otherwise it will be still in your hair. With the method I use, the curls are pretty, not frizzy and not stiff. That's my experience.

Yes you can curl hair with it. Just takes some practice. I use it to straighten my hair but then I put a small flip curl at the end.

If you have curly hair, it will enhance and define the curls. I don't know if it will make straight hair curly. It is a nice product.

I had the exact same problem and this one really works, plus the curls are made five times as fast as when you use a straighter! When it comes down to it, it all depends on your hair, but I personally found that this worked so much better.

I believe so, though I'm really not an expert in curling iron size. It does the trick for smaller tighter curls. Hope that helps.

I dont think so, it is designed to smooth frizz from natural curly hair and make the natural waves softer, it would probably make your hair feel heavy and maybe oily.

If you want tight curls, then get baby curls. (We have not used the larger rod.) That is what my teenager wanted and it creates perfect tightly spiraled curls. Keep in mind that tight curls do make hair appear quite a bit shorter.
