Went back to an old curling iron technique from 10 years ago and it actually worked better than my fancy new one

I have this expensive rotating hot air brush I bought last year and I use it all the time. But last week my sister asked me to do her hair for a wedding and I grabbed my old 1 inch curling iron from beauty school days. It's just a basic Conair no fancy features. I did that old twist and wrap thing where you wrap the hair around the barrel not clamp it. Her curls held for like 8 hours through dancing and humidity. My fancy brush gives me loose waves that fall flat in 2 hours. Made me wonder if all these new tools are just making things more complicated. Has anyone else found an old technique that works better than the newer stuff?

Piper, that old Conair just gets hot enough to actually lock a curl in place.

Tbh that old Conair sounds like it just had better heat distribution or something.
