This item was going to be part of my May Favorites but after the lengthy review I figured it deserved its own post.
We all want gorgeous Victoria’s Secret Angel worthy hair. Now instead of envying those beautiful, messy, sexy, bed head waves we can create them with ease at home! I have naturally curly hair so some of you are probably wondering why would I purchase a curling wand? Well, I like my hair the best with some kind of wave to it instead of stick straight but my natural curls can be so unpredictable. The back always curls more than the front & depending on how my hair wants to act it could dry amazing or look like a wreck (usually the latter). I toyed with the idea of curlers but to be honest they kind of intimidated me & I was worried my hair would turn out horribly wrong.
I’m obsessed with watching Shaanxo on YouTube, I just love her. She recently uploaded a video of her using a curling wand & that’s what finally convinced me I needed one in my life. You can watch her video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZgUrroT9lU . So I busted out my old, hardly used ½” old school curling iron to give it a go. Just as I thought, that darn clip left a crimp mark in my hair (not cute!) & the ½” barrel was just too small for the look I was trying to achieve. So after testing one section I ended up flat ironing my hair. Her video really kept the curling wand in the back of my mind. I was at Target not long after that & saw a Remmington one for around $90 but didn’t think it was worth the price. Not long after I went to Ulta.com & browsed their selection where I stumbled across the Bed Head Curlipops line. Since I wanted lose curls I was drawn to their 1” non-tapered wand & also loved the fact they include a glove so you don’t burn your hand. Of course I did some research on this particular item reading reviews & watching YouTube tutorials before pulling the trigger.
After curling the first section of my hair I kicked myself for not getting one sooner. It’s so easy to use & creates the most beautiful waves. I don’t think there’s a “right or wrong” way to curl your hair just as long as you curl away from your face. I’ve taken varying widths of sections & curled without separating the top & bottom. I’ve also done the same but curled the bottom section of the piece I pulled & then curled the top section. It really comes down to playing with different techniques to see what works best for your hair length & type. I prefer to have the end pointing up whereas my mom & sister prefer to have it pointing down. I have long hair & their hair is about shoulder length so I’m not sure if how you hold it depends on your hair length. My sister has wavy hair & is able to air dry her hair then only curl sections that need a little more oomph. So if you’re wavy I’d try this first before blow drying straight. Just remember to use a heat protectant! After using this product for the past couple of weeks I don’t foresee myself flat ironing my hair again, or at least anytime soon. I give it a 10 & would highly recommend this affordable product! If you own this or purchase it please tell me how you like it <3
