Hot Curling Brush Good Curling Tongs?

Good curling tongs? - hot curling brush

I know that you can use straighteners to curl, but I found it very difficult to do, but love the results (if it is right!) Is it really doing good curling iron / hot brush to do the job. My hair is long and thin (but much, so it is difficult and often fall loops). No advice about products to help you.

In a step by step guide would be really useful!
