How to Use a Curling Iron for Dummies
It's been many decades since I used the daily blow dyer/curling iron combo to create my big 80s hair. But for an event last week, I thought it would be fun to spiff up my hairdo with some curl. I bought a 1-1/4" Conair Infinitipro and did my best to create a nice...
