I dont know what size plates to get. depending when i get it cut my hair goes about 2-3 inches past my shoulders (curly) and 4-5 inches past my shoulders when straight. im deciding between the 1-1/4 inch or the 1-3/4 inch. i heard that the 1-1/4 inch is better cuz it gets in hard to reach spots and is easier to handle, but idk how it wud work because my hair isnt short. what do u think???

u should get the smaller one!
i got that size one and works perfectly, and its not so heavy.
