Curling Wand Waves

It’s driving me absolutely crazy that I didn’t take one extra second to smooth out the top of my hair before I shot these photos. Everything I do these days seems to be in haste!

And my tripod is a really bad creative director.

Anyway, I filmed a new curling wand tutorial for you! Yes! The last one I filmed was many moons ago and things have changed a bit since those dark ages so it was time for a refresh.

Oftentimes I get asked which is better, a curling wand or a traditional spring curling iron. My answer is both. Both are fine, one isn’t better than the other they are just different.

In general, if your hair is layered you’ll likely have an easier time with a spring curling iron. If you don’t have many layers or have very short or very long hair, a curling wand may be perfect for you.

I used the Amika 5P Interchangeable Barrel Curler for this tutorial. I LOVE that you can adjust the heat settings on this iron. I think that should be an element added to every single hot tool used for styling.

If you are looking for one a little more budget friendly, try the Hot Tools brand.
