But I'd recently seen a photo of inthefrow (fellow amazing blogger) and she mentioned the Lee Stafford curling wand! So I went on my major research mission, after reading endless reviews I was pretty much sold, which was great as it was just in time for Christmas, so I popped it down on my list and at £29.99 I thought it wouldn't be a present that would break the bank.
Come Christmas Day I was more than happy my lovely sister had gotten me it :) excited wasn't the word!
I had my reservations as I already have a curling barrel that does the job amazingly and I love how it does my hair! But it's too time consuming and was fed up with the same old curls!
So on Boxing Day I set out on my first curling with my new present, but after I was done, I wasn't sure. It wasn't the curl I was expecting (don't really know what I was expecting) and I suppose it's like when you have a new haircut you're not always sure at first, I guess it's just the change from what your used to. But as I brushed it out a little it didn't look as serevre and once I had a little play, I took back all the doubt in my mind and replaced it with true love.

The great thing about this is the actual barrel design, which was the reason it made me stop and really take notice, I had never seen anything like it before, which made me want it more! With the textured barrel each curl would be slightly different depending on where you placed your hair, which is exactly what I was after, seen as my other wand just does the regimented curl, so to have that point of difference made it a stand out product for me.
Not only that but it is a cereamic barrel, infused with Argan oil which adds shine, locks in moisture and protects your hair from the heat, which was just the added bonus. It heats up super fast and your not having to keep the wand on your hair too long, which makes for speedy curling time. It has a stay cool tip at the top, to keep those fingers safe from the heat. I had read some reviews that a lot of people were burning themselves and at 200 degree max temperature I would recommend taking care while using the wand, it does have the cool tip at the top and me personally have never burnt my fingers on this. But I would say on your first attempt just be aware of how hot the wand is and because there's nothing but your fingers there to hold the hair in place, really take extra extra care.
What I loved most about this is when I woke up the next day... My curls were still intact! I hadn't thrown on loads of hairspray the day before and even when I brushed my hair the curls stayed in! A lovely nice curl that looked natural and could look great the day after... this just made me fall in love deeper! How could it not! Even the day after that, I popped my hair in a pony tail and it was still curly! Just topped it up in parts and I was good to go!
I couldn't rave about this enough! A curl that can last for days... My idea of heaven! Perfect for me who loves to stay in bed for as long as possible, means I can do it the night before and wake up, brush it (maybe top a few bits up) and I'm good to go! I'm more than impressed!
Which is exactly what I did last night! I have added a picture of me this morning after sleeping in it and just re curling the odd part of hair at the front (excuse the serious face- mornings are not my thing and it was the best photo I took that showed the most hair)
And I have to say 24 hours later my hair is still impressively curly. I have had at least 4 compliments today on my hair, so I have to say I am more than smitten with this product.
So there we go, if your looking for a curling wand... This baby is it!
