VO5 Wave Barrel Hair Wand

Product Information

When did finding the best curling wand get so damn confusing? There are countless styles of tongs out there and they all give different curls; from tightly defined ringlets to loose beachy waves. But how do you know which shape wand will work for you? Tip: To help frame your face, hold the curling wand vertically and twirl away from your face. Remember, to get those effortless waves, don’t curl your hair from the root, but from midway down each section. Voluminous Curls Add immense volume to your curly hair by adding layers.

Well, I've tried to take some of the mystery out of curler shopping, by showing you exactly what each style of tong/wand/styler does to the hair (or my hair, to be more precise). Because I don't know about you, but when it comes to beauty I want need visuals. I want to see if the results are worth dropping all that hard earned cash on.

A straight wand creates curls that are equal in shape and size throughout your hair, allowing you to achieve a more uniform look. This type of curling iron is ideal for those with naturally straight hair who want that beach waves look, as it can be used to curl inwards or outwards. Medium waves look great on short to long hair. Slim WandsThese tools – usually sized between 13mm and 19mm – are great for producing tighter curls and twists. So, if you’re looking to create ’80s-inspired corkscrew curls, they’re perfect.

Use: A medium-sized curling wand and a teasing brush to fluff up your curls at the root, for masses of added volume.

VO5 Wand Features:

Use: A wand with a small barrel, as generally the smaller it is, the tighter the curl. Work with 1-2 inch sections of hair if you want lots of tight, little coils. Tip: For spiralled, tight curls, simply twist your hair before wrapping it around the curling wand. Loose Waves Get smooth, ultra long, loose waves. Credit: indigitalimages.com
