Avril's on the cover of April's cosmo and she looks really good. In the magazine, it tells you how to do her hair:
http://www.alavigne.org/displayimage.php?pos=-24939 - magazine scan Anyways, the thing is I have yet to replace my broken curling iron. Or my straightening iron. They both broke for some reason. I didn't do anything unusual to them but last time I tried them, they wouldn't heat up. Odd. So I need a new one. The curler was a braun cordless and the straightening iron was a gold-plated revlon. I recommend you don't buy them. 
Any recommendations for a new curling iron? And which size barrel do you think would be good? On the magazine it says "a small curling iron".. which doesn't help. I was thinking 3/4" or 1"? I have no clue! Oh, and while we're at it, any recommendations for a volumizing mousse? I have hair just like avrils, [maybe a bit longer than hers] long and stick straight so I don't know much about curling hair. Any help will be greatly appreciated! |

it looks like those curls were done with a 1" curling iron. i would
reccomend that you go to a beauty supply store, like sally beauty, and
get a good curling iron. tell the sales clerk the price range you are
willing to spend, and she can reccomend the best one in your price
range.  as for a volumizing mouse,
basically anything will work. if you want to get a good ammount of
volume tho, u should probably try something from a salon line. i would
reccomend something form Matrix Biolage!!

Hot Tools makes awesome curling irons. I have the 3/8" (absolutely awesome for tight spirals) and the 11/2" for softer loopy curls. Based on what it sounds like you're looking for I'd suggest a size between 1/2" and 3/4". The Hot Tools curling irons are usually under $30. But you will need to go to either a salon, or something like Sally's or Ulta to find one.
