Use this porcelain ceramic spring curling iron to create curls or loose waves with volume, body, & shine.

Of course! A 0.75-inch (or 3/4-inch) curling iron is a fantastic tool. Because it's a smaller barrel, it's perfect for creating tighter, defined curls, textured waves, or a vintage, glamorous "Hollywood" look.

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to use your BaByliss 0.75-inch curling iron.

1. Prep Your Hair
Start with Dry Hair: Your hair must be 100% dry. Using a hot iron on damp hair can cause serious damage.

Apply Heat Protectant: This is the most important step! Mist a heat-protectant spray all over your hair to shield it from damage and help the curls hold.

Section Your Hair: This makes the process much more manageable. Use clips to divide your hair into at least 2-3 layers (e.g., a bottom, middle, and top section). You will work with the bottom layer first.

2. Set Up Your Curling Iron
Turn it On: Plug in your BaByliss iron and turn it on.

Choose Your Heat Setting: BaByliss irons heat up very quickly. Always start with a lower temperature and only use a higher one if necessary.

Fine or Damaged Hair: 280°F - 330°F

Normal/Medium Hair: 330°F - 380°F

Thick or Coarse Hair: 380°F - 430°F

3. The Curling Technique
For this guide, we'll use the classic "clamp" method, which is the most common for this type of iron.

Take a Section: Release a 1-inch wide section of hair from the bottom layer you left down. (The smaller the section, the tighter the curl will be.)

Position the Iron: Open the clamp and position the iron vertically (or diagonally) about midway up the hair section.

Clamp and Wrap: Gently clamp the hair, then rotate the iron to wrap the hair around the barrel once.

Glide and Twist: Slowly glide the iron down the hair shaft a few inches, then rotate again to wrap more hair. Continue this "glide and twist" motion until you reach the ends.

Secure the Ends: Make sure the very ends of your hair are tucked securely under the clamp to avoid "fishhooks" or crimped ends.

Hold: Hold the hair in the iron for 5-10 seconds. The time will depend on your heat setting and how well your hair holds a curl.

Release the Curl: Gently open the clamp and let the curl slide off the barrel. Try not to pull on it.

Let it Cool: This is key! Let the fresh curl cool completely in your hand for a few seconds (or use a pin to clip it to your head) before you let it drop. Curls set as they cool, so this step makes them last much longer.

4. Repeat and Finish
Continue this process, working in 1-inch sections, until your entire head is curled.

Once all your curls are 100% cool, you can finish the style.

For tight, defined curls: Gently mist with a flexible-hold hairspray and avoid touching them.

For softer, wavier curls: Lightly run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls.

For a brushed-out, vintage look: Use a boar-bristle brush to gently brush through the curls, shaping them into soft, uniform waves.

Finish with Hairspray: Give your final style one last mist of hairspray to lock it in.

💡 Pro-Tips for Your 0.75" Iron
Alternating Directions: For a modern, textured look, alternate the direction you wrap the hair around the barrel (one section away from your face, the next section toward your face).

Polished, Uniform Look: For a more classic or vintage style, curl every section in the same direction (usually away from your face).

Just the Ends? This small barrel is also great for touching up naturally curly hair or adding a quick flip or bend to the ends of a straight style.
