Help! What size is your flat-iron?

[BotanyGrl]

I'm trying to decide if I should get a 1" or 1.5" flatiron. Is it that much of a difference? Does the 1" flat iron get to your new growth easier than a 1.5"?

I personally recommend the 1". I have a 1" Solia and I looove it!I find the bigger ones too big for my taste and get the results that I desire with the smaller iron. With the smaller flat iron I can get to the roots easier, I can do curls and I can maneuver faster and easier. HTH!

ITA - I have the FHI 1 1/2... and am on the hunt for a .5 inch. The smaller irons give more control.

I think the smaller ones are better for more control and to get to the roots as said above. I have a 1" one. I think the bigger bulkier ones are more difficult to handle.

I have a 1" Chi for general purposes
and
a 1/2" or .5" WeeChi that I use for hairline and if I'm doing roots only

I have a 1" Sedu. I love it because I can get closer to the root on my natural hair. The only downside is I have to do smaller sections so it takes a bit longer.

I think a 1" will do the trick. You'll find that the slimmer the iron, the easier it is to handle.

Yeah the smaller the easier to handle and more precise.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going with the 1"
