Le Duo Curls - 360° Airflow Styler

[@laura5371]

OMGOODNESS! Bought the Le Duo and for the life of me could NOT figure it out and I’m uber hair savvy…unti I watched your video! This clicked for me and now rockin bouncy curls! Thanks sooo much!!

[@CarrieAbrego]

Oh yayyyy! I’m so glad to hear that. What was it that I said that helped?

[@laura5371]

The way you held the Le Duo, while sectioning - I’m a middle school teacher and you showed how to use it, and didn’t over-talk about how to use it…and you have a great BFF vibe that’s not fussy or fluffy 😆

[@CarrieAbrego]

@@laura5371 hahaha you’re so sweet thank you. 😂And thanks for the feedback. It’s great to know the feedback because I’m so used to doing things a certain way that I forget what I’m even doing. ☺️

[@anyabartlett3547]

I'm so frustrated I want to cry- I'm trying to do exactly what is shown but I'm not getting curls!

[@CarrieAbrego]

Try gliding it slower than what you’re doing. Also if you have the heat turned up all the way try turning it down. Last, try spraying a little bit of a flexible hold hairspray beforehand. Feel free to send me a message on Facebook or IG too and I can help you further. Don’t want you to cry gf. So please message me 😘😘. facebook.com/CarrieYourBeauty instagram.com/carrieyourbeauty/

[@angeliquebullock466]

Gorgeous! I wasn’t sold until watched this and heather Haigler’s video!

[@CarrieAbrego]

Oh yay!! Takes some practice. The first time I used it I wasn’t that impressed, so just keep practicing and each time should get better.

[@kimberlyschroeder8270]

Looks so cute. I think I’m going to buy it for my birthday coming up. Great tutorial! Thx.

[@CarrieAbrego]

Yay! Hope you like it too.

[@melissareese7605]

I wanted to ask if you have ever alternated the direction in which you were curling each part? In the video, you mention that your curls were bunching into one big curl. The product does help separate the bunching but with every product I’ve used, at some point during the day, my hair would bunch back together. Once I started switching every other curl to the opposite direction from the previous curl, they didn’t bunch anymore. Hopefully I’m not telling you about something you already knew. It was just a game changer for my curls when I started to alternate. If you didn’t know and I didn’t explain it well enough, please let me know. 😊

[@CarrieAbrego]

Haha yes makes sense. I’ve tried that in the past and for some reason I always end up redoing the ones I did forward and like them better curled away. Not sure why the forward ones bother me so much. Lol I’ll have to try again. It’s been awhile.

[@TisiSandoval]

Looks so easy. Your hair looks beautiful!! I love it!!

[@scars1007]

Great video! Thanks for all the tips. Also, you are stunning and you don’t need any make up. :)

[@CarrieAbrego]

You’re so sweet. Thank you 😘

[@lindaf114]

Are you holding you thumb gently on the release button as you're gliding it down? I have very thick hair. I just feel like I have a hard time

[@CarrieAbrego]

I have fine hair so no I usually don’t need to press on the thumb part. You may need to add smaller sections of hair if it’s thick and you’re having trouble gliding it.

[@hollyjoy3192]

very helpful, appreciate your style of presentation. I've been looking for a tutorial for longer, straight hair . I bought one and had it all packaged up to return, but decided to do one more search for techniques I could try. I'll try to follow your lead!

[@ceceklyd8929]

I recently bought this a few hours ago and I'm excited. I used the discount code with the 70% off sale

[@CarrieAbrego]

How’s it going for you? Hope you’re loving it.

[@ceceklyd8929]

@@CarrieAbrego I'm still getting used to it😅 main thing is how to turn it off

[@CarrieAbrego]

@@ceceklyd8929 haha I think you have to hold down the on/off button for a few seconds until the lights turn off.

[@ceceklyd8929]

@@CarrieAbrego us it like when its heating up in the beginning where the lights flashes?😅

[@racheldody3]

Do you have a special discount code? I’m not finding it.

[@susanclark8102]

My first couple tries after viewing several “how to” were unsuccessful. My hair kept getting stuck midway through the curl and pull through technique! I pulled out lots of hair in the process. I ended up using my old regular hair curler as I ran out of time and to fix the botched curl job. Mea culpa! I just need to practice more evidently. The videos make it look so easy too.

[@memorybatho5530]

I hear a tip on another video that helped me with my hair getting stuck. Try to go to a lower temperature, it worked for me!

[@diamondsglitznglam]

Can you please help me I just got it and I truly can’t get it the way you do it ;( I really need it to work

[@CarrieAbrego]

Dang I just tried the Le Due Grande and it’s so much better. For the regular le duo you have to make sure to glide very slow and steady down the hair. I’ll try the regular one again and see if I come up with more tips, because it’s been awhile since I’ve used it

[@doreennemeth45]

Hi Carrie, I am getting the Le Duo for my daughter for her birthday. She really likes the comb you are using at the end. Can you please let me know where you got it as I do not see it on the L'ange website.

[@CarrieAbrego]

Here’s a similar one langehair.com/products/detangling-comb?_pos=2&_psq=Comb&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@CarrieAbrego]

Otherwise I believe I got it from Target a few years ago. Here’s some similar ones... rstyle.me/cz-n/ekdhrrcp94p

[@andreamurdock3980]

Is there a trick to curling the back?? I can get the front to look great, but the back, not so much. 🙄 Do you hold it differently?? I think that is key... figuring out how to hold it where you get the best curl. I can do my left side much better than my right. 🤷‍♀️ But the back is straight as a board!! 😭

[@lorenzalamenza]

What products should I be using before styling with this? I have straight thick hair and it is hard to curl. I'm getting a bit frustrated. Please lmk so I can get the right products bc I have the Le Duo and want it to work!!

[@CarrieAbrego]

I like to use the Trois chic three-way hairspray. I use that before hand for everything. It’s lightweight with a flexible hold. It’s not sticky. My curls always come out better and last longer when I use hairspray before curing. I just spray it all over my head. Not a ton. Just so that it hits everywhere. Let it dry for a minute. Then curl. When I’m done curling my whole head I spray again a little everywhere. I love hairspray 😆. I have fine hair though. You may not need to spray after. I recommend trying both ways and see what you like.

[@CarrieAbrego]

Also try gliding the Le duo down your hair at a slower pace. I’d go too fast you won’t get a food curl. Slow and steady.

[@laurencampbell6456]

@@CarrieAbrego thank you! I'm going to go get some products now!

[@monicaburdine]

Can you post a comment with the name of all the products you used?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Hopefully you found it all in the description. Sorry for the delay. Just got a new app that now shows me all the comments in one spot. ☺️

[@donnastevenson5613]

I love Lange. Do you use their shampoo and conditioner as well?

[@CarrieAbrego]

I use the Violet purple toning shampoo and Violet masque. I love those!

[@CarrieAbrego]

There’s also a brunette toning shampoo and conditioner, but I haven’t tried that one.

[@kellygiera4177]

What temperature do you set your Le Duo on?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Kelly Giera I think I had it set at 320 for second half but started at 360. I try to go as low as possible until it won’t curl. If your hair will still curl fine at 300 then do it at that temp. If you need higher then go higher. I get better results if I spray hair spray or salt and sea spray in my hair prior to curling. I can then get a curl at a lower temp and the curls will last longer.

[@ok2workout513]

does the hair have to be clean?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Mine works better when clean. Also I recommend the le duo Grande over the regular le duo. Works so much better.

[@xxtaylorlovesyouuxx]

What temperature did you do this with?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Usually mine is anywhere from 320-360

[@ginaramirez9875]

This really helped me! Thanks!!

[@panglee7957]

Love it! Wish it was that easy on long hair 😩🤔

[@CarrieAbrego]

I used it with my extensions and it worked well. The key is to glide down the hair slow.

[@SwedePotato314]

Hey! If you haven't gotten one yet.. they made a new one for long hair. It's the Le Duo GRANDE 360 Airflow. I have hair down to my bum and it works wonderfully. My mother in law got it for me for Christmas because I was convinced there was nothing out there that would work for me. But she was right. I use it with Living Proof restore heat protectant spray that has an extremely light hold to it and it comes out beautifully. I hope you find something that works for you!

[@crisg555]

What sprays do you use again?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Trois chic hairspray and Salt & Sea spray

[@christineebben75]

Where do you get the Trois Chic hairspray? I can't find it anywhere!

[@angiecastillo814]

How is this tool for straighten hair?

[@CarrieAbrego]

I still think a straightener works better because you squeeze it yourself and can clamp it as tight as you want. I guess you could clamp this one too by pressing the end together to create more tension. I haven’t tried that yet. Actually I haven’t tried straightening it with this tool at all. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

[@Danthechick]

Hi! What temperature did you curl your hair at?

[@CarrieAbrego]

I usually do anywhere from 320-360. Depends on the day. I try to keep the heat as low as it can go to still give me curl. I have fine hair and I’m trying to grow it out so really trying to keep my ends from frying.

[@lanimmie]

can you list which products you used?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Yep I’ve added them

[@joy-115]

I LOVE IT! I’m had u suggested the salt and sea spray!

[@CarrieAbrego]

Yes I love using that or the Trois chic hairspray before I curl.

[@aprilb1106]

Contemplating getting this. What is the benefit of curling this way as opposed to using a regular curling iron? TIA!

[@melissareese7605]

I recently got one and I’m amazed at how easy it is!! I’ve done hair for 22 years and I’ve used many different tools. You can get slightly different curls using a flat iron or curling iron. Especially, the technique you use. Some use one over the other just out of preference and I liked that I was able to get the benefit of having a 2 in a tool. What sets this flat iron apart from others is the cooling vents. Your curls will last so much longer if they are cooled. That’s also part of the reason blow dryers have the cold shot option. If you want me to explain why it makes such a difference, let me know and I will gladly explain! Another benefit I just remembered too(it doesn’t have anything to do with flat irons vs curling irons). Every flat iron I’ve used until this one, has pulled a few hairs with each swipe. I was so excited!! My 10 year old daughter hates when I straighten/curl her hair because of the pulling. She let me try this on her hair. She instantly fell in love and she also wants to learn how to use it!!! Needless to say, I’m in love with iron!!!! I apologize for the long reply. I just love it!! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I hope it helped!

[@CarrieAbrego]

With a curling iron you usually get more curl in the very end vs down the entire length of your hair strand.

[@joy-115]

By nourishing gloss do u mean satin nectar?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Yep! 😁

[@tiagravely6732]

I rocked my whole head with this le duo. Then I get to the last 2 pieces and they will NOT curl. Craziness

[@lindaf114]

I usually have one single piece on my head that won't curl or match every single time. Different spot every time but it never fails.

[@andread1744]

Same exact thing happened to me. I tried turning it off for a bit, let it cool off, and then tried it again and it curled 😊

[@CarrieAbrego]

Same thing happens to me sometimes. This would happen with a regular curling iron too sometimes. It’s like if it gets too hot it just doesn’t wanna curl. It’s so frustrating

[@suzanne468]

Is it normal for lights to be blinking when it's "Off"?

[@CarrieAbrego]

Yes mine rotates with blinks on all the temps when it’s off.

[@madisonstoyandresortreview]

U did great but the glitter filter throws me off be perfect with out

[@CarrieAbrego]

Haha totally I know. It wasn’t meant to get so many views lol…it was just an IG story I threw up onto KZbin until I got a real video finalized. But if you are contemplating this tool I highly recommend the new Le Duo Grande. Curls way better and easier. I just tried it a couple weeks ago. Here’s a live I did yesterday fb.watch/boU50zQtrZ/

[@vickimurray3252]

I cannot get a curl with mine :(

[@CarrieAbrego]

Hmmm maybe glide through your hair slower. And I’m not sure how much hair is in there but maybe try a smaller strand. ??? It’s tough when I can’t see you do it, but let me know if you’ve tried those and how it went. Also, maybe it is too hot or not hot enough. Play with the heat temp as well to see what your hair responds to better. For me, I keep it at 320 or 360 degrees.

[@ashleyd9522]

I just spent 30 minutes trying to do this and I got it about 3 times and could not do it again!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@CarrieAbrego]

Haha takes practice. Glide slow down the hair. If I go too fast it doesn’t work well.

[@selinalj5230]

Why the filter in the video? Very distracting!

[@CarrieAbrego]

This video was just short and sweet for fun in my Instagram story. It was before I went to bed and I just looked very drab and tired. The filter was meant to just add some pizazz to the video since I looked dead LOL. I didn’t expect it to get many views on here. I do have a better video that’s a little more in depth on here.

@@CarrieAbrego I was just going to reply saying the same thing. I tell my clients to take a day when they don’t have anywhere to be, watch some tutorials and then go to town and practice. It takes time and be patient with yourself. It’s an awesome iron!!! You will be so happy once you get it!!!
