Most curling irons are designed for short to mid-length hair, not long or thick hair. If you have long hair and use these common curling irons, you may find that it takes a long time to curl your hair, and the curls often do not hold. This is because their design is not suited for the unique needs of longer strands.

No, you should never curl hair when it is wet or even slightly damp. The moisture trapped in wet hair, when combined with high heat from a curling iron, causes the hair to essentially boil from the inside and outside, leading to damage. This process can also produce steam that poses a burn risk.
