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 a fair amount of money 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’ve never seemed to be able to create the bouncy yet natural-looking waves I was after. As it turns out though, 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 waves or curls in place.
