I'm incredibly impressed by the staying power of the curls. Even after a long day of activities, including playing with nerf guns and spending time at the beach, the curls remained largely intact. This is a significant upgrade from my usual experience where curls last mere seconds.

Introducing the Bed Head Wave Wand

The Bed Head Wave Wand itself is a vibrant lime green (though other colors may be available). Its design includes a flat cap on the barrel to help prevent burns, and a cord that connects to the wall; no magic here!

It features a simple on/off switch with an indicator light, making it easy to use. However, caution is advised; prolonged contact with the hot barrel can result in burns. The plastic housing does get warm after extended use, so handle with care.

How to Use the Wave Wand

Using the wand involves sectioning the hair into small to medium-sized pieces. Smaller sections will create tighter curls. Wrap the hair around the barrel, holding for 10-20 seconds for looser waves, or 20-30 seconds for tighter curls.

Once the hair is released, a bouncy curl is formed. Use hairspray to set the curls and help prevent frizz. Experiment with different section sizes and holding times to achieve your desired look.
