How to do little girl's hairstyles: How to hold in curl on super straight hair?

How to hold curls on straight hair?

I was recently asked on my Facebook page what to use to hold in curl on hair that is super straight. I have been struggling with this a bit with my own gals' hair, particularly my daughter with waist-length hair. Both of my older girls have fairly straight hair, and unless I use my teeny tiny curling iron, their hair would be flat flat in just a few hours. SUPER frustrating, right!? Especially when you spend a good 20 minutes curling it!

SO-I've been on the hunt! My sister in law recommended a curling iron to me, and after going to Sally's (where said iron was purchased), I found another iron that I have been very happy with as well. I think either one are great purchases and will do the job! The first is Argan Heat, the second is the Jilbere Nano Silver. We got the Argan, since it gets a bit hotter, and we figured, the hotter the better! (They are the same price--I ended up paying, with tax, about $35.)

Here's what we got:

 It's called Argan Heat, and it gets up to 400 degrees. I could list all the ins and outs of it, but basically it's not supposed to fry your hair ends (as long as you use a good thermal styling protectant) at the high temps. AND, it works like a charm!

Different heat settings:

And, check it out! This was taken AFTER a day at school! Her curls took less than 5 minutes. (I promise, no touch ups either!)

And hairstyle no. 2 that day, again, AFTER school!

I sprayed in thermal heat protectant and a light coat of hairspray before curling, and that was it! (I have about 5 min a head in the mornings before school. I RARELY whip out the curling iron.)

So go test them out ladies! Tell me if anyone loves it as much as me!
