A curling iron is specifically designed to curl hair or create waves. When heat is applied to the hair through the curling iron, it modifies the hair's structure temporarily, allowing the hair to take on a curled or wavy shape. This technique is commonly used in hairstyling to add volume and texture to various hair types.

In contrast, the other styles mentioned—straight, buzz cut, and bald—do not involve the use of a curling iron. A straight hairstyle typically requires flat-ironing or natural smoothing methods, a buzz cut involves cutting hair very short with clippers, and a bald style means there is little to no hair present at all. Therefore, the option that accurately describes the outcome of using a curling iron is creating a curly or wavy hairstyle.
