I know we have some long pony tails flying out of the back of bike helmets here on TE lol. So, looking for some long hair styling advice.

I want some loose to medium tightness curls for my hair just to switch up the look (not a perm). My hair is basically one length with minimal layers, pretty fine, and almost to my bra strap for length.

The last time I got a trim, my new stylist sold me a nice quality flat iron which she showed me could also make these curls. Well, me trying to do it at home is a joke. I got a larger barrell curling iron, and can't quite get that going either. What's next? Rollers or something? Any tips?

TYIA.
