One of the hottest looks right now features long, loose waves. I can't even begin to tell you how many calls I have received from hair professionals and friends asking where to get large barrel curling irons.

A beauty just crossed my desk. The Brazilian Heat 1 ½ inch Curl Iron is the perfect size to create beachy waves. The iron, by Belson, features a Tourmaline-infused ceramic barrel that heats up to 450 degrees in less than one minute. There is a digital display and temp-lock features that locks in the temperature to the desired setting.

Celebrity stylist Tippi Shorter has been using the iron on Alicia Keys and Keri Hilson, and it can be found in the beauty closets of Camila Alves, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson and Tori Spelling.

"Texture is at the forefront of hair fashion right now," says Tom Gebhart, Senior VP and general manager for Belson Products…the creator of this iron. "We're seeing a variety of curl patterns and sizes, but for loose, deconstructed waves, this is the perfect choice."
