Magic Wand Curler

Well, it's not magical in the "Harry Potter" sense, but it is still great at making the perfect wave for your tresses. The Conair Curling Wand is one of my favorite curling irons out there! It gives the perfect wavy curl that looks completely natural and effortless. This particular curling iron does not have a clamp, which I think makes it much easier to achieve the perfect looking wave/curl. I've also read that without the clamp it puts less stress on your hair and causes less damage--always a major plus! 

I thought I would put together my step by step method for how to use it. At first it can be tricky, so here's how to get the hang of it:

How to use:

Step 1- Heat The Wand to your desired temperature. It can go up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is pretty hot! I personally set mine to 360 degrees which is the second highest setting and is still very hot.

Step 2- Once The Wand is fully heated, about 30 seconds later, take individual sections of hair to begin the curling process. For looser looking curls, wrap wider sections of hair around The Wand. I prefer this look because it creates the most natural looking curls. The Wand comes with a glove you can use as protection from burning your fingers. I used the glove when I first starting using The Wand, but now that I am more comfortable using it I choose not to wear the glove. 

Step 3: Once you have the section of hair you are ready to curl, wrap hair around the wand so that the point of the curling iron is facing down (like THIS). Hold in place for no longer than 5-8 seconds. Because this curling iron reaches very high temperatures, it curls the hair within seconds!

Step 4: After you have achieved the right amount of curls you want, be sure to apply hair spray to keep everything in place. I prefer to use an "extra hold" hair spray because my hair is on the finer side and does not hold a curl for several hours on it's own. I like the Dove extra hold hairspray because it smells nice and it's not too strong. I only use a few sprays though because I still want a natural looking wavy curl.

And that's it! Check out my finished results:

If you follow the simple steps above, you should also be able to get the perfect looking, natural wavy curl! I will warn you though that it may take a few tries to get it just the way you like it. This is not your average curling iron and may take some getting used to, but once you do, I promise you will never look back to your old curling iron again!

Here are a few different stores where you can purchase the Conair Curling Wand in the .5" size
