    Aren’t those two different pieces of equipment? (Or at least two different parts you swap in a very basic piece of equipment?)

    Those are two completely opposite changes, and the format the iron would have to have for each seems completely incompatible.

      They are different tools, but fun fact, you can make curls or waves with a straightener depending on technique. A curling iron will only do curls.

      Boys…

      Nowadays, almost every hair iron has attachments for both straightening (with it a big clamp with two flat plates) and curling (various diameters of metal rod).

        What about the wavy ones, not as tight as a crisper but similar.

        My wife has separate ones for each because the one she tried where you can change out were mediocre at everything.

      Yeah, curling iron is a tube with a curved plate that wraps part way around it.

      Straightener is two flat plates.

      … Or maybe you just use it backwards and it does the opposite‽
