Remington Pro 1-1½” Curling Wand with Pearl Ceramic

Let me preface this with saying that I really don't normally curl my hair. I have in the past, but it's not my go-to style and I only have a 1" Conair wand to compare this one too, so I can't really speak to how this holds up against other wider barrel wands or fancier wands. For the price, I'd say this is a decent choice. It gets HOT (the default setting is more than hot enough to curl my straight hair), heats up fast and creates loose curls in a matter of seconds. It's easy to use, it's cute and it's good for more casual hairstyles. There are a few things that aren't great, but again, you can't really expect a $25 curling wand to knock it out of the park. Side note: Not sure how many of these issues are because of the wand and how many are because of the styling products I use, but I tend to buy higher end serums so I think it's more likely to be the want. The beautiful loose curls (beach wave-like) you get at first only last a few hours at most - my hair doesn't go completely flat, but by the end of the day I have really gentle waves that look decent enough that I don't feel ashamed at work, but definitely don't look styled (and I use strong hold hairspray!). Also, my hair frizzes up fast - it usually takes a few hours for the frizziness to hit (around when the curls fall out), so that could be my hair/other products rather than the wand. Overall, I'd say that I'm glad I got this - it's a good "entry level" wand for curling novices like myself. If you're looking to upgrade your current wand, I'd probably get something a bit higher end.
