Why can't I curl my hair?

I'm trying to use a 1" barrel curler and it won't curl my hair! I'm doing it right and I'm almost positive it isn't the curler. What do I do?

Update:

Thanks for all the answers I haven't washed my hair since this morning and it gets really oily so I think that's the problem. Thanks!

    What type of hair do you have?

    Because i have a friend whose hair does NOT curl!

    she has straight straight hair.

    & Is the iron hot enough?

    Is your hair dirty?

    Make sure your hair is even all the way up the curler, not all rolled on top of itself. Also maybe your hair is to short for a one inch curler. Try 1/2in one. Also a little hair spray and smaller sections may help. It is better to curl your hair the day after you washed it as well, so your natural oils are in it.

    Hmm...well that's a tough question. I would recommend washing your hair beforehand, and using mouse to soften the roots. That should work, after letting your hair dry naturally. At least that always works for me :) Good Luck!

    Put some mousse in it first, try holding the hair in a little bit longer. If your hair is frizzy, that might be part of the problem - buy some anti-frizz spray.

    If you have to much oil present in the hair it will not allow you to curl. Clean hair and serum.
