beauty: Hair Wand Magic
I’ve always been so envious of girls who can actually do beautiful things with their hair like flat ironing, or curling or creating beautiful waves. Unfortunately, I’m not one of these girls and I desperately anticipate my bi-weekly appointment with my hairstylist.
The other day I had an event to go to and unfortunately my hairstylist was away and I needed a fast and easy solution. After my initial panic; where I called every friend of mine to ask if they could help me curl my hair “real quick”, I remembered seeing a television commercial for a hair wand. In the commercial, they promised that using this wand would be easier than using a flat iron and would create beautiful waves.
I rushed to my local drugstore, bought a hair wand and rushed back home to try it. If I could do this I told myself, anybody could.
After sweating profusely, anticipating that I’d do a crapping job, I finally started getting the hang of it.
Here is a picture that I took of myself after using the Hair wand (didn’t take a before shot because I assumed I was going to fail at doing it!).
The trick is to be very mindful of the temperature, most hair wands will have a temperature control. Also, it is important to use the glove provided for the hand that you’re using to roll the hair around the wand. The bigger sections of hair you put, the bigger the curl will be.
You can find a variety of hair wands, at different price points, between $20 -$80; mine was $60 (Conair) from my local drugstore.
Have any of you ever used a hair wand to curl your hair? What do you prefer using, a wand or a flat iron?
Bisous, Winy
