I do the 25mm (which is simply shy of an inch) and it normally offers a tighter curl, however you possibly can all the time make it looser by wrapping bigger sections. I personally set mine to 370 or 390 levels, no have to go larger in my view! It’s solely $59 too, you possibly can store it proper right here.
