A Curling Iron for Curly Hair…

By

When it comes to my hair, I’m a wash-and-go girl. I spend about 5 minutes on my hair on most days. It’s one of the advantages of naturally curly hair. I’ll admit that my hair is a bit wild and unruly looking at times, but it somehow looks kinda cute that way (sometimes…) because it’s curly. 

A Curling Iron for Curly Hair... 1On special occasions or when I’m feeling a little bored with my usual no-fuss style, I pull out my Bed Head Light Me Up 3/4″ Styling Iron. This may surprise some people since I already have curly hair. BUT naturally curly hair (although it does have its own charm…) is NOT the same as the gorgeous, controlled ringlets that irons produce.  

The Bed Head Light Me Up 3/4″ Styling Iron is specifically designed to “define naturally curly hair or to allow you to create your own masterpiece.” It features a nano ceramic barrel and heats up to 400 degrees in no time. I barely have to wait before the iron is hot and ready to work. Plus, the iron is funky and fun looking in bright turquoise with yellow buttons (a minor detail, I know…).

Bed Head Light Me Up Styling Irons are also available in 1″ and 1 1/2″ models if you want bigger curls. All Light Me Up irons can be purchased at a variety of retailers (including Target and Amazon.com) and cost around $20.

WIN IT! One winner will receive a Bed Head Light Me Up 3/4″ Styling Iron. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Tuesday, October 14 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

*UPDATE* The winner is #171 Rachel Belkin. Congratulations!

  13. Fuzzy, frizzy, curly, impossible hair. That’s me. Do you think this iron can tame it?

  16. My hair has lots of underlying curls but it ends up looking more wavy than curly by the end of the day. If I gave the curls a boost with a curling iron that would give me a whole new look.

  33. I have natural curly hair too – and while it does look cute at times, I could sure use a curling iron to make it pretty…

  34. I have “straight as a board” hair and must use curlers or a curling iron or I look like a “flathead”. I have a curling iron but it has a huge barrel on it and I recently cut my hair short so I need to try a smaller one.

  66. Oh I can certainly relate to the naturally curly hair and not having those controled curls like you get from salon style. Everyone always tells me they wish they had curl in their hair, but I guess we wish for whatever we don’t have. This looks like a terrific curling iron to help those of us who need some extra help.

  107. My hair is not really super curly, but not straight either. I wish it WERE one or the other! But this would work well with my naturally wavy hair!

  114. the grass is always greener on the other side. I have stick straight hair, but yearn for curls!

  117. I have naturally kinky curly hair and I have struggled with it my entire 37 years. I have shed many tears because my hair is so unruly and hard to control/manage.

    I do enjoy curling my hair and would be thrilled with an iron specifically for my type of hair.

    Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  119. My hair always flips up at the ends, when I want it to turn under. This would be a big help.

  124. This would be perfect for my naturally curly hair when I want to have nice curls instead of my normal ones! :)

  138. I use to have naturally curly hair, it’s more like natural wavy now so I would love to have this curling iron. The curling iron I have now keeps losing it’s teeth. So this smaller one would be just perfect for me. Great giveaway!

  143. I’ve never owned or used curling iron before, but recently, I sure have been coveting those pretty waves that I see in the magazines.

  147. Never knew there was a special iron for curly hair! Hmmmm maybe this would explain how I can’t get any other iron to do me justice!

  151. I have naturally wavy hair and blow dry it straight because I don’t know what to do with my waves…this may help. I need a new look!

  157. I hate messing with my hair. I need some incentive to spend time on it.

  160. my hair is fine and very straight…….maybe this curling iron would help me also…….(I am soooo jealous of those with natural curls!)

  162. I would love this! I also have naturally curly hair but it looks crazy a lot of the time, LOL! Thanks for the contest!

  163. I think my daughter needs to start doing something with her hair. This looks like a great idea.

  164. I have naturally curly hair, but it can sometimes need help because of its length and when humidity hits.

  168. I too have naturally curly hair, although it has gone more to a wve since having babies! I think this would be just the thing to perk it up and help give it some extra kick when I need it! Thank you for the chance!

  178. I would love to have a curling iron that heats up that fast! It sure would save me a lot of time and frustration.

  179. It’s about time they make an iron for curly hair. I’d love to try this! Thanks for the great contest!

  183. My hair is totally flat and straight. Big curing irons do nothing to change this, so maybe a small diameter curling iron will produce a little wave at least.

  188. I have naturally wavy hair, not tight curls but ocean like waves….and they often wave in the wrong direction! My curling iron died quite some time ago, so have been trying to keep my mop in control with blow dryer and brush, ugh. This would help, and I love the colors!

    Thank you. :-)

  189. With two daughters I could use a curling iron. My last one finally bit the dust after 15 years of great service.

  191. I’m definitely the “spend-five-minutes-or-less” on my naturally curly hair type, but would love to experiment with dressing it up a notch every now & then. This looks like a really nice product.

  204. I have naturally curly hair, too, but not quite as curly as yours! This sounds like a neat product…I have trouble with my traditional curling iron not really helping matters much when I use it. Would be nice to try!

  211. I have natural wave in my hair (I’m just now embracing it), so I’d love this iron to give my flatiron a break once in a while! :)

  220. With the flat Straight Hair that I have, I need a good curling iron that will help hold the curl in my hair.

  221. My “naturally curly hair,” aka: the frizzy puffball attached to my head, is a real pain most of the time. I’d really like to try this curling iron. I know Bed Head hairstyling products are work great.

  224. I also have naturally curly hair and I can relate to the “unruliness” that can be controlled with an iron. I also love the instant on feature on this one. Thanks for offering this opportunity!

  225. Received my first curling iron at age 12. . . 30 years later it’s still part of my quick morning routine. MKW

  228. I do not have super curly hair but I do have curly which I straighten thank you! =) Anyway.. I’d love to win this because now that I have shorter hair my big roll curling iron is too big. Please enter me to win. Thanks.

  229. This is the first time I’ve heard of a curling iron specifically designed for naturally curly hair, and I think it is great. As much as I adore my natural curls, they tend to be pretty erratic — and frizzy — and, well, annoying at times. :)

  230. I’ve always had a perm until about 2 years ago. Now I have to curl it if I want it to look nice, otherwise it is FLAT.

  231. My current iron is on its last legs. I love the color of this one and am sure that it could really amp up my styling options.

  233. Count me in! My hair doesn’t always know what it is, it’s not straight, but it’s also not super curly. This would help me in the morning for sure.
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  234. Ok so I love that it can be used on curly hair like mine too! : ) I always struggle with wearing it curly because I think it’s too unruly! I straighten it a lot but it would be fun to do it cute curly! : )

  236. I totally do not have curly hair, but I want it. I’m jealous of yours! My curling iron is from the ice age, which obviously does not do well when you’re trying to heat things up…this one would do well. :)

  239. Oh you are SO right! I have naturally wavy-curly hair, and it certainly does have some charm. The rare time when I decide to straighten it and then put curls in it? It looks marvelous! I would love to win this :)

  240. I, like you have curling hair, but it sometimes frizzes more than curls…grrr…I love being able to get up, wash and go, but this would be nice when I want to make sure it looks good for an evening out!

  241. Oh, how I have craved naturally curly hair. Alas, my lot is to have baby-fine, stick-straight, limp hair, but as my stylist is so kind to say, “Yeah, but you have a lot of it!”

    I would love a new tool to achieve some curl! (Glad to see you are back!)
