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.

[@theeGLAMstarr09]

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

[@panderzbananderz9320]

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!

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

wow, this is my favorite comment I've ever gotten. Thank you!

[@knightvision1228]

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

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

Oh, I have a review on a curlipops reverse curling wand, you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2SamXVjprd4nrs You'll get the hang of it in no time, and once you do it will seem so much faster and easier than an old school curling iron ;) Thanks for watching!!

[@knightvision1228]

Rebecca Reviews I have the regular one in orange with the glove. My hair never curls well with a clamp curling iron, so I'm excited to master this. Thanks so much for the great tips and vids! :)

[@soma7940]

[@yolandalopez8117]

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.

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!

[@m.sarahpolett9234]

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.

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

+baily dumas you're welcome :)

[@alekzagat]

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!

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

lol, well I'm glad you finally got yourself a curling wand! They're wonderful! I hope my tips help :)

[@jrsygrl2482]

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!

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

Oh good, I hope my tips help!

[@jadekelsay241]

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

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

I'm so glad you found it helpful :)

[@Irideika]

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!

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

yay, I'm so glad to hear that! It takes a little getting used to, but you're going to love it! Merry Christmas!!!

[@aprilalbarado7888]

[@JC-of2lv]

New beach wand user here. Your tips rocked!

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

thanks!

[@bluejupiter2075]

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!

[@luckygurl302]

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

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

I'm so glad I could help!

[@lindsayobregon5456]

awesome tips and explanations :) Thanks you x 100000000

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

Hahaha, you are welcome!

[@x_lindsay28]

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.

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

I’m so glad you found it helpful:)

[@kamimauldin764]

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! :-)

[@romeo151515]

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 💕💕💕

[@breesays]

So helpful. Thank you!

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.♥️

[@TheRebeccaReviews]

wow, thank you so much!!

[@elenanem4016]

@@TheRebeccaReviews You welcome 🙂

[@granjmy]

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.

[@baileys608]
