Are hair curlers worth it? We have found that a flat iron will actually hold the curls much, much longer. As a matter of fact, they could last until the following morning even after going to bed with them. The curly iron only held the wavy look for up to an hour or so and on top of that had to use a lot of product in the hair which for one is never a good idea if you wish to keep your hair as natural looking as possible. So, do give the flat iron a try if you wish to go curly. We believe you won’t be disappointed.
