I can’t tell you how many years I have spent trying to get big, bouncy waves to stay in my hair. Everytime I open up Instagram or TikTok, I always see tutorials with people using hair rollers or the Dyson Airwrap to get these voluminous curls, but whenever I try the same thing, my hair just ends up falling flat. I’ve practised waving my hair with straighteners, I’ve spent hours on YouTube trying to perfect heatless curls, I’ve wasted paycheck after paycheck on various hair tools, but nothing has given me the result I want. That was until a few months ago when I was getting ready at my friend’s house. I had forgotten to bring anything to do my hair with, so I asked her if I could borrow something of hers, and she handed me what looked like a very simple curling wand from BaByliss. I had never been a big fan of curling wands as they didn’t seem to create the bouncy, natural-looking waves I was after, but as it turns out, I just hadn’t found the right one.
After using the BaByliss tool and brushing the curls out with a wide tooth comb, I was left with perfectly voluminous waves that stayed in place all night long (with a little help from some hairspray, of course). The next day I went home and ordered the exact same curling wand online, and was delighted to find out that it was only £48. Since then, I have never had so many compliments on my hair, so I thought it was only right that I did an in-depth review for any of you who also struggle to keep your curls in place.
