10 Tips and Tricks for Using a Curling Wand 

I can't tell you how many curling videos I've seen on here and yours is probably the most useful one. You offer details that perhaps the others consider mundane or too basic. Thank you.

This is the greatest internet tutorial I have ever seen... about anything. Well organized, well spoken, well planned, incredibly thorough. You had all of your things together and at hand. All of your steps were in order and well edited. Informative. Answered all my questions. Thanks for posting!

Fab tutorial in terms of both content and tutorial 'ability', so to speak haha! You are great at teaching and spoke clearly and concisely so that it was easy to follow, haven't found a better curling wand tutorial anywhere else! Thanks for uploading!

Very helpful thank you! Just bought a bed head curlipops wand and definitely need some practice. I love the effect though!

Best one that I've watched so far. However I would have loved you to demonstrate each wand instead of describe it. Thank you

Great vid. I've always struggled with using curling wands so this definitely helped!

I still have this. Bought it from Sephora years ago. I just bought the limited edition shark mainly for the blow dryer and defuser. The barrels work to curl my hair even though they are short. the Amika curly wand is my favorite to curl my hair with.

this is so wonderfully executed and your voice is perfectly measured for being easy to absorb. thank you for being so thorough and anticipating what people will need to know!

This video is so perfect ! Sums up every single question I had ☺️

This was so helpful! I'm 24 and my mom has been doing my hair my whole life because she's a professional and I've always had trouble! When I got my wand, I wasn't even holding it right! Thank you so much!

This is by far the best hair curling tutorial I’ve seen! This is actually very helpful thanks 💕

Excellent video. I am brave enough now to try it again!! Thank you!!

So happy I found this video. Bonus: Rebecca seems like a really nice person! I'm new to curling wands and this was so helpful! Thank you.🙂

I am a newbie and had not a clue! These tips will definitely be help! Thank you, great demonstration!

Thanks for this. You gave such helpful and organized information.

This is one of the best videos I've seen on curling, thanks so much!

Very helpful for a first timer! You have a great presence on camera. Thank you.

I really appreciate you making this video! It was extremely helpful. :)

Just bought one of these and have had a helluva time getting it to work for me. Thanks so much for this video! It's the most helpful one I've seen. Cheers!

great tips! I'm getting my hair cut to shoulder length or a little shorter this week, and my naturally curly hair is just wavy now since I've gotten older, but your tips seem like they will help me immensely in styling my new cut!

Thanks for taking the time to do the video. I just bought my first curling wand and this was a big help. Although, I've never heard of the glove before and don't have a clue as to where to buy one. Any help on this?

This is soooo helpful! Just bought a curling wand and I can't wait to use your tips! Oh and you remind me so much of Famke Janssen. :)

Great video! You explained things so nicely and slow enough for me to get it!!

I absolutely loved this video. It was super informative since I just got a curling wand and have 0 idea how to use it. I also love your vibe!

Best turorial ive seen on this. I love how you actually give new info/ every way instead of one way. :)

Thanks for making this video. I just got a curling wand today and decided to watch videos on how to use it. Your video is so helpful.

I'm a beginner & watched many tutorials. Your tips are the absolute best. Thank You!!!

I had almost given up on a newly purchased wand until I watched your video. You covered the majority of my concerns/questions - e.g. curling the ends, how to hold the wand correctly...Thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just bought a curler today and i'm 100% new at this. This video is so helpful!

Thank you! I just bought a curling wand and haven't used one before so your video was very helpful. Also, you are blessed with beautiful eyes!

This video sums up every other curling video put together. I wish I had found this one first and saved all that time! Well done and great video. :)

Excellent tips, one of the best videos!!

Thank you so much for making such an informative video! All of the tips are really helpful and the demonstrations you do are perfect. I've finally managed to work with my curling wand and I'm so happy about it :)

Fabulous video Rebecca. I have just bought an Andrew James curling wand and i do find it difficult to use. But your video is brilliant. I have the type that goes thinner at the tip. I have never seen such an informative video as good as yours. Well don Rebecca.....I shall now subscribe to your site to see more and more of them. Thank you hon. xx

Such a great video! I used your tips & bam! Worked like a charm.

this is great! I have been trying to curl my hair for years & I honestly feel like I'm just now getting the hang of it. thank you for your advice:)

First video I watched after my buying my first curling wand, only video I needed - thank you!

Thank you for this video!! super helpful! love your curls at the very end!

First of all, thank you ever so much for this tutorial! I just got my first curling wand for Christmas and I've been too intimidated to try it yet and your video has given me little tips that I wouldn't have even thought about had I just plugged it in and curled. Thanks so much! Second, your hair is so pretty! And I love your highlights!

Thank you for these tips, very helpful , I learnt a lot today .

I love, love, love, your approach! Your tips are so practical and super helpful!! Thanks a million :)

You are such a life saver i was planning to straighten my hair but i saw this video and now its not so complicated! ❤God bless you❤

Wrapping vs. winding…such an important tip! Thank you!

This was great! By far the best tutorial I found!

This helps a lot! Thanks Becca

Thank you! Very helpful tips. I’m about to try it again....

Great video, I was clueless about using the curling wand, now I have a very clear picture. I learned a lot. Thank you

I just bought a curling wand and I've been battling with it since I bought it. I have long, thick, wavy hair and I'd love to master the beach wave for the summer. Your tips were very informative and I'm hoping to give the wand another try tonight, thanks!

I got a curling wand for Christmas, and even though that's precisely what I was hoping to get, instead of a curling iron, I was starting to regret my choice. SO glad I found this video! I just finished up my whole head with the help of these tips! Best tip you gave is the switching of hands! Thank you for posting this!

Thankyou this was very much helpful!! Cheers!

Great tips !!! Very helpful.

Thank you! That was very thorough and extremely helpful.

Rebecca, I just want to say that you are an amazing teacher! I love the way you explained everything to the last detail! Thanks to you I have finally learned how to have that salon look without actually going to a salon. Your personality is amazing and you're very pretty. Have a great day! From Russia with love.♥️

Thank you. Bought my first curling wand yesterday and this was a great help.

OMG you are SO SO SO helpful I have searched for ages and finally I found you! this is amazing thanks for the great tips❤️❤️❤️ I tried the tips and my hair looks amazing thanks so much for this video xoxo

Very good tips for beginners (like me)! And finally someone who can explain it without to irritate and prim. You are gorgeus! Thanks alot.

Great video!! Your voice is so calming I didn't want it to end lol

New beach wand user here. Your tips rocked!

This was so helpful!! Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much, just bought my first ever wand, needed to know how to use it!

Thank you so much so these tips. It’s the best video explaining how to do it. Merci beaucoup. Do you have a video where you actually curl with the wand from the beginning to the end?

Fantastic, thank you! For your loose waves, how long do you hold each piece on the wand? Did you switch directions as you wrapped each one? And how long did this take you? Thanks for any suggestions!

This was a great video! Hopefully I can do better. I just tried mine for the first time and it didn't do too well. My hair is thick and I didn't section it. Thanks for the video!

Fabulous video! Just what I needed. Thanks.

thank you so much, just bought a new curling wand and this is exactly what I was looking for!

This is the PERFECT video I've been looking for! I am SO glad I came across this video!

Omg! Thank you so much for Tip #6. It seems simple but I never could figure out why my ringlets usually weren’t rings. Great video!

Very helpful! This is exactly what I searched for, googleing around today :D Thank you!

Thanks for the tips. It feels a bit awkward using it the first time since I am so use to regular curling irons.

good video, very professional and informative. ..good job

thanks for taking the time to make this video :-)... great tips !!!

I really like how you presented everything. Easy to follow and understand. Do you have tips on curling if you only have a straightening iron available?

Love this so much. I needed some serious help with mine.

Thank you that helped a lot, I am newbie lol..i did about 3 and I gave up it looked horrible, cause I was not sure how to hold my hair and the ends did not curl. But hlw you explained it really will help. I just need practice to. How do you hold the hair towards the end, my hair kept sliding through my glove...was so frustrating.

Awesome video!! So helpful :)

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

I finally purchased a wand and didn't have a clue where to begin. This video was SO helpful. Thank you for making it.

Amazing tips !

this was incredibly helpful, thank you!

very good video!! awsome tips

I'm new to using a curling wand. Thank u thank u for this video. Now I see the difference between twisting the hair and wrapping the hair. So helpful and the tip to let the curls cool. No wonder mine didn't last.

Super helpful video. Thank you!

Awesome tips and tricks thank you

Great tips! I've only used the old fashion curling iron until today and OH MY GOODNESS!!! Where have I've been all this time? I have very thin hair and not alot of it to make things worse. My hair is very long (small of my back) and lately it's been looking really sad. I was thinking of cutting it all off but decided to try a curling wand. It was so easy and fast! My curls lasted all day (with the curling iron I was lucky if 8 made it out with a bit of a curl). I will use your tips on getting a fuller look. Thanks!

Great job, of tremendous help!

I am totally bad at hair. I've been hesitant about curling my hair, but after seeing this video I decided to TRY IT! My hair looks decent for the first try in years :) I'm very happy with how all of her tips worked. The way she clipped her hair made it WAY easier, too. THANK YOU!! Even for a hair dummy like me. YAY.

Awesome! So helpful. Thanks a bunch!

Just bought a curling wand as a clearance item and then bought a heat glove off Amazon so I really look forward to using them! It would be wise to trim split ends before curling though.

Thank you for the great video! This is likely something everyone else already knows, but I’m new to wands. When I’m trying to twist my hair around the barrel, I tend to “run out of real estate” on my wand, leaving a good-sized portion of my hair uncurled. I’ve tried only curling the bottom parts, which, I guess is okay, but not what I had in mind. I’ve also failed miserably trying to curl the top parts, then trying (unsuccessfully) to start where the curls leave off. Yeah. No. Maybe more experienced folks can do this, but I just can’t seem to get the second curl to line up properly. My main “problem” is having “naturally curly” hair and I honestly didn’t know what a wand was, nor did I have the skills to use a traditional curling iron correctly! (I am 49 years old and have only in the past month or so learned that to get the organized spiraling that I wanted, you did NOT start by catching the ends of your hair with the clamp and roll upward, starting from the ends! Any input or advice in re dealing with my issue (described above) would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Great video! I just bought a wand today and so thankful I came across your video. My wand didn't come with a glove. Is there something I potentially already have at home that could work?

Hi Rebecca, I just sub to your channel. This video was the first I watched as I just bought a curling wand. Other videos and I watched a lot, gave zero tips, so thank you so much! Really helped me. I haven't used it yet. I have very thick mid length hair, wavy, pain in the rear end hair to be honest lol! I washed it yesterday let it air dry. Today I flat ironed it for the first time in over a year. I've been staying away from heat because I'm letting my hair grow out after a former hair dresser butchered me, yeah. Sorry, don't mean to write you a small novel here 😀 tomorrow I'll try my new wand. It came with Aragon oil & glove too. Thanks again! Peace 💕💕💕

Thank you! I've always used a traditional curling iron, and I'm curious about the wands. These are great tips for starters, but I really want to know the benefits of using a curling wand vs. a curling iron. It seems like a lot of trouble to use a wand, and the curling irons have that convenient clip on them.

Great video really helpful. I still think curling back of head will be tricky but will persevere. Thanks a mil.

Very informative video! I’ve been “using” most types of curling irons for many years, but have been the master of none 😂! Even w/the addition of the glove 🧤 , I seem to have a special knack for burning 🔥 myself 🙄, but now I have some great tips & techniques I’ve learned from you, that I hope 🤞🏻 to put to great use 😉! Thank you, stay safe 😷 and Happy Holiday’s!

Excellent...thank you so much. very helpful!

Hi Rebecca! I followed you here from an LFR Fam review. Excellent tutorial! I suggest something else for the ends of the hair strand. Curl each strand any way you choose, but skip the ends. Let curls cool completely. Change to a regular curling iron and finish the ends, allowing the clip of the iron to hold the ends for you. Take a cooled curl by the bottom. Grab it with the curling iron, about 1-2 inches up the strand- whatever is comfortable for you. Slide the curling iron down until the ends are inside the clamp. Roll the curling iron up as high as needed, and count to 10. Release. Is the curl as tight as you want? You're done. If you want it tighter, repeat the process, but count to to 15 or 20. Release. This way, there's no stressing about those ends, so no chance of burning your hair while you fiddle with the ends of the strand.

Tying the bottom half of my hair has helped me a bunch! Thanks so much
