What Is a Three-Barrel Curling Iron?

Three-Barrel Curling Iron Mermade Waver

@mermade.hair

A three-barrel curling iron is a hot tool that comprises a trio of side-by-side curling wands.

When used on a section of hair, the tool will create a soft, wavy texture.

Repeat the motions until you reach your ends, then move onto the next section of hair.

Start by prepping your strands with a veil of light-hold hairspray and a few drops of stylingoil.
