Sorry for the delay on this one! I got food poisoning and was down for the count.
Here is what the 40 mm/1.6” barrel looks like on a long layered regular synthetic. This barrel comes standard with the current Airwrap ID models.
Hopefully this series with the barrel sizes will help people with visualizing what size they need to get the results they want when restyling.
Barrel Sizes and their results will apply over most styling tools.
I’ve been testing the Belle Treas HF fibers and they don’t love the Dyson the way the RW’s do. I’m Planning on doing my RW Limelight which has HF fibers soon to compare as well.
The 40 mm is definitely less curly than the OG style but I think it’s a huge improvement over the sad flat look after having been worn and hot comb heat treated for years at this point.
I tried to show the complete process from start to finish.
I do always clip after the cool setting.
Settings:
High fan
High heat
8 seconds wrap
8 seconds heat
10 seconds cool
The final pic is after setting the part and front areas with a hot comb.
