Question

Answer 1

what you need to do is section you hair. Do the bottom layer first put about 1/2 in the curling iron roll it up and leave it there for about 15 seconds  then roll your hair out of the curling iron and reease. Or while its in the curling iron open the tong and pin it until it cools down to make it extra curly!

Answer 2

Is your hair real long? Are you using too much hair? That isn't too big of a curling iron. another dumb question,does it get hot? If your hair is too long it won't hold curls, do you use hair spray before you curl it? I don't know what else could be wrong.Are you leaving it in the iron long enough? Just uncurl a little , and pull down.

Answer 3

It sounds like 1. your iron isn't on high enough or 2. you're not letting go correctly.

I have thick hair that holds curls very well but it require a lot of initial heat to get them there. So turn up the heat! Also as someone else mentioned, you need to use thin pieces. I'd say about an inch of hair, very thin. If you want bigger curls (more hair), you'll need even more heat so leave it on longer.

Also once you curl your hair onto the iron, sit there for a while. Open the iron completely and pull the iron out through the middle of the curl. You shouldn't be clamping the curl when you pull down but barely, if at all.
