According to the manufacturer description, the Remington Curling Wand is a ceramic tong that is infused with real pearl for smooth salon finish. It has a nice pink 1/2-1 inch pink barrel and comes with a heat protective glove.This product heats up fast in 20-30 seconds with the temperature running until 410° F. It also has a temperature lock system wherein it stays on the heat temperature you have selected after 10 seconds or if you hold the (-) button for 2 seconds. To unlock, hold the (-) button for another 2 seconds. It also has a 60 minute auto shutoff if ever you have forgotten to turn it off and unplug after use.
I find the Remington Curling Wand a bit tricky to use on the first try but you will eventually get the hang of it. On my first try I immediately had my fingers burned since the barrel is so smooth and my hair immediately slips off and I don't know how to hold my hair. I had to result to using the heat protective glove that it comes with. After awhile I was accustomed on how to curl my hair with the wand without touching the barrel so I needn't use the glove anymore. I love how this thing heats up fast so in times where I forget to turn it on while prepping my hair it still would be ready for use in less than a minute it was turned on. The temperature lock is also very convenient so that the temperature for the wand would remain as is while in use.
The wand also has a 30-day money back offer if you're unsatisfied with it and a 4 year limited warranty so don't throw away the box and the receipt! I, however, don't find myself wanting to return this because this is just a wonderful product. You could do defined and tight curls or loose and nice waves with it.
Let me show you how to use this curling wand. I have finally taken my time and do video tutorial for you my dear readers since I think it would be quite hard to take photos and really see how it is done. I'm still not comfortable in speaking in front of the camera so I opted to put captions instead. You might notice that I'm glancing at the sides because on the left is the mirror and on the right is the viewfinder of the camera. Next time (if there will ever be a next time), I'll do better. :)
I've set the heat temperature of the wand at 302° since I'm afraid that a higher temperature would fry my hair. At 302°, you can hold the hair for 10-15 seconds but if you use a higher temperature, lessen the time that you hold the hair. In the video I also forgot to run my hair at the back when I was filming so there was a flat part at the back of my head. If you want loose waves than in the video simply run your fingers throughout the hair.
Oh, I'm kinda embarrassed by this, but you could see my flabby arms. I am in no way skinny. :(
Constructive criticisms on my first beauty video is highly appreciated. Any questions, please comment down below.
Much love,
PS: I have a Canon Rebel T3i that records in HD but sadly, my SD card is a Class 4 SDHC which, in no way can record a widescreen HD video so I have to settle for a 640x30 video recording. What sucks even more is that even if I have Adobe Premiere Pro I don't know how to use it and made use of the Windows Movie Maker instead. Until I get a Class 10 SD card, there will be no videos (well, I'm not really into doing YT videos but maybe in the future) :) I still hope you liked this one.
