Now that you’ve mastered the curling iron, it’s time to learn how to use a curling wand. A curling wand is a clipless curling iron that is larger towards the top and gradually gets smaller. It’s a really great tool because it creates the perfect, natural looking waves. It’s harder to get the more natural look with a regular curling iron, so now that I’ve figured out how to use this new tool, I’m hooked! I highly recommend it. Check out the step by step tutorial below and maybe you’ll convert to the curling wand too.
Steps 1-4:
Start by holding the curling wand with your right hand. Hold it upside down, over the left side of your head. Take a 1/2 inch – 1 inch piece of hair and hold it in front of the curling wand.Use your free hand to wrap the hair around the wand, away from your face. Careful not to touch the hot wand – that’s the tricky part! But the more you practice, the easier it gets. I like to start by holding the hair towards the root and as I wrap the hair, I slowly bring my hand down towards the ends.
Make sure you leave an inch of the ends out of the wand so they stay straight. If you want, you can straighten the ends when you’re finished or just straighten your hair before you start curling (that’s what I do). That way, you get that edgy look with straight, blunt ends. Gently release your hair and pull the wand up. I like to pull the ends of the hair down once I remove the wand to make the curl more wavy and less tight.
Steps 5-8:
Now to do the other side of your head, you need to switch hands. Hold the wand in your left hand, turn it upside down and hold it over the right side of your head. Again, make sure to curl the pieces away from your face. Once you’ve curled your whole head, spray with a flexible hold hairspray. Then, style as you wish!

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some help
from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not
sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Cheers

By the way, how long the curly hair last?

Love it! Thanks for the tutorial! Would you replace your curling iron with this, then? Or still use the curling iron for a different reason?
Amanda Says
Post authorI would still use the curling iron if you’re going for more celebrity style waves. But I suggest playing around with both and seeing which you like better!
Stephanie @ Whole Health Dork Says
Thanks, Amanda!
Marcy Says
These results seem a bit more ‘natural’ than with the curling iron. I love what you’ve done with your hair colour wise since the curling iron post. Thanks for the clear post.

For smaller curls, choose a curling wand that is 1” wide or smaller. Big, bouncy curls can be made using a curling wand wider than 1”.
Look for the material your wand is made out of; ceramic or tourmaline are typically regarded as the best quality and safest for you hair.
Most curling wands come with a dial or switch that allows you to adjust the amount of heat it puts out. You’ll either have the choice of ‘high-medium-low’ or an actual temperature setting. Change this to meet the needs of your hair, keeping in mind that the higher the heat, the more damaging it can be to your hair.

How do you keep from burning your fingers, lol? Every time I try to use one I end up burning the tips of my fingers :(. I will keep practicing!

From flat irons to curling wands, there are so many hair care tools and only a few have proper instructions. Even my daughter once burned her hair using one. This article is great and should be linked from the manufacturer’s website if you’d ask me. Great shot Amanda!
Emily Wilson Says
This was so helpful because I can’t curl for nothing. But I’ll give it another whirl

Hey Amanda, these are tips easy to follow.
How do you manage to do both, posing and taking photos?
By the way, what flexible hold hairspray do you use? The link doesn’t work.
Cheers,
