Which type of iron is best for styling? Curling irons, curling wands, and flat irons all give a different and equally fabulous look for any hair type! If you are in the mood to volumize, then definitely choose a curling iron or wand. In the mood to flatten your unruly locks? Then it might be a good day for straightening. You can also vary your look by choosing a different size barrel when curling, from wide to narrow, uniform to tapered, you have so many different looks ahead of you. Mix it up and experiment. How fun!
Which Mr Big iron size is best for my hair type? There are so many factors to consider when choosing a curling iron to fit your needs. Width of the barrel, iron vs wand, heat settings, and your hair type all dictate which Mr Big iron is the best fit for you. As a rule of thumb, longer hair is best using a 1” or larger, unless tighter curls are desired. Medium length hair will benefit from any size, creating different looks. Shoulder length or shorter hair will be best served with a 1” or a ¾”.
Which heat settings should I use? Many factors go into deciding which temperature is best for your hair type. Mr Big irons irons have a variety of heat settings from 180° to 450°, depending on which hot tool you choose. We have products suitable for all hair types! It's good measure to start with a lower heat setting for your first attempt at curling or flattening, and if it doesn’t work well, increase the temperature one notch and try again. Repeat this until you find a heat setting that works well for your hair. We advise using the lowest setting that curls your hair well as anything higher will be excess heat for no reason. As a rule of thumb, fine, thin, or easy to curl hair might benefit from a low to medium heat setting while course, thick, or hard to curl hair will benefit from a medium to higher heat setting.
How do I use and take care of my Mr Big irons? Every Mr Big product comes with an information packet in the box. Read this packet! It provides valuable information needed to operate and maintain your irons, and also includes safety instructions and the warranty information. To clean your Mr Big irons, use a soft, damp cloth on occasion to rid your barrel of buildup from hair products like sprays and serums. NEVER run under water and never use near water while plugged in. ALWAYS unplug your hot tools before cleaning.
I dropped my curling iron in the water. What should I do? If your electrical appliance falls into the bathtub sink, or anything that contains water, even if it is not submerged, DO NOT reach into the water to grab it. First, unplug the iron. Even if the switch is turned off, any appliance can still be electrically charged. That situation can be very dangerous and should be handled with caution. After the iron is unplugged, let it cool down to at least room temperature, and only then remove it from the water. After such an incident, the iron will be unsafe to use and should be discarded immediately. Dropping your Mr Big irons and other hot tools in water voids their warranty.
Are your irons dual voltage and how can I tell? YES! Our irons are indeed dual voltage! The voltage rating is either on the underside of the product and/or on the cord tag. Dual voltage products show a range of voltage such as 100V to 240V. If the voltage on your product is only a single number and not a range, then it is not dual voltage.
Single Voltage Example:
240V
120V 60Hz
Dual Voltage Example:
100V-240V
100V 90Hz/240V 80Hz
If you are still unsure, review the product's Information packet or Contact Us.
Will I need a converter or an adapter when traveling out of the US or Canada? So you have a great vacation planned out of the states and naturally you don’t want to travel without your Mr Big iron! Because our irons are dual voltage (100V to 240V), you won’t need a voltage converter when you travel abroad. (Yay!) You will only need to pack an adapter plug that is designed to fit the outlet holes of the country you’re traveling. You will need this for any product that plugs in to a foreign outlet. We recommend you buy a "universal adapter", which will cover you in ANY country. After plugging your iron into the adapter, it will now fit into the wall plug. Bon Voyage!
What does ceramic do for my hair? Ceramic is a superior product for curling iron and wand barrels. It produces the most even heat distribution of any substance and offers the hair much more protection from heat compared to a bare metal barrel. In addition, the negative ions that are created help reduce frizz! Ceramic is also lighter than some other materials, which is especially important with the extra length of the Mr Big hot tools. Our irons are BIG but surprisingly light weight. These are just some of the reasons why ceramic is the #1 choice of professionals... they can style hair all day and their arms won't get tired. :)
Do your curling irons contain asbestos, formaldehyde, or Teflon? Mr Big uses only naturally occurring minerals with outstanding thermal properties as insulators. Our products do not contain any of these harmful ingredients.
Can I use a scalp massager if I have a medical condition? Scalp massagers are designed to increase blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles. In addition to slowing down on hair loss, the stimulation can actually improve hair growth and thickness! As if that weren’t amazing enough, massagers can also relieve headaches, tension, and reduce stress, which is a major factor in hair loss. In other words, they are just plain fantastic! However, if you have a medical condition and think there could be cause for concern, please consult with your doctor before using any massager so he or she can determine if it’s safe for you to use.
How long are the cords on the different Mr Big styling irons? Mr Big styling products have cords that are of professional lengths, ranging between 8ft. and 9.5 ft. long. The extra cord length gives you the flexibility you need when styling anywhere, especially older homes where outlets are scarce. This feature also comes in handy when traveling as hotels are notorious for misplaced outlets. Happy Curling!
