REVLON Salon High Heat Hair Curling Iron Ball Wand, Regular Bubble (main item)

This is by far the best styling tool I've purchased in the last 20 years. Hair dryer, straightener, Curling wand... the trifecta!This thing is so damn easy to use it's almost unreal. I am never unhappy with how my hair has come out afterward. I get complimented on my hair almost every time I use it. The first two times I used it I held the hair in place too long ad the curls were way too tight. I was going for more of a beachy look, and the instructions CLEARLY say to hold the hair in place for only about 3-5 seconds. I have found that for a half inch section of medium thickness hair, with the tool set just below "max", 4 seconds is perfect.Pro Tips:1) Obviously the higher you have it set to, the less time you hold your hair in place on the iron2) Hold the wand in the your right hand when dong the left side of your head, and the left hand when doing the right side.3) Alternate how you twist the hair sections around the wand. Twist some towards your front, and some towards your back. This creates that uneven beachy look.4) Divide your hair into two sections, and upper and a lower.5) Do the lower first BUT only start the curling wand about 3/4 from the root. Don't start twisting right at the scalp... this will cause too tight of a curl and make that layer of hair appear shorter. Starting lower and not holding the hair in place for as long in that section will create a longer, looser under layer.6) For the top layer, begin twisting as close to the scalp as you can get without hurting yourself. This will create lift and give that naturally wavy appearance. Do not hold the iron in place for too long on that top layer! Use thicker sections of hair if thats what you're going to do.7) Stop the twisting with about an inch of hair left at the bottom of the section being left uncurled. This creates the beachy look. Wavy hair doesn't have tightly curled ends, so if you're looking for the wavy beach look this tip will make all the difference.Move quickly. Grab a section, twist it, hold it and count for 4 seconds, let it fall loose, grab another section immediately and repeat. I finish my whole head in under ten minutes. The longer you take to do it, the less natural wavy it looks. Its imperfections are what make the style.8) Juice it up with a little hair spray to hold in place and preserve cleanliness.9) works best on hair thats a day dirty.10) looks great with headbands, bandanas, bobby pins, and even a cute pony tail11) lots of tutorials and reviews on this type of styling tool, and most of the reviewers use it incorrectly, hold it in for way too long, etc. The instructions say 3-5 seconds, and thats what you should do. Keep it moving quickly and it will come out great.Hopefully this tips help you out! I friggin love this thing and I use it about three times a week. I straight my hair the day I wash it, and then i use the second the day. By now everyone at work knows I didn't wash my hair based on when its wavy hahah. Best took ever.Oh and I used the glove ONCE. It's really not that serious of an undertaking that you should need to use that glove. Once you've done it a couple times, you'll know how your hair reacts and the tool is very consistent. HOORAY FOR THE REVLOG CURL COLLECTION BUBBLE CURLING WAND!!

This was a gift. Great quality and durability, but not very easy too use to do one's own hair. Super hot!

I FREAKING LOVE THIS THING!!! Saw an ad with a top-of-the-line hair care company for a bubble wand. Before I shelled out $75 I thought I’d give this one a try to see if it was worth all the hype. This thing is AMAZING! I have super straight, flat, fine to medium weight hair that does not hold a curl. I could spend an hour curling small sections of hair with a normal curling iron only to have it last an hour, maybe two, tops before going flat. After getting the hang of it, this wand takes me about 10-15 minutes to use. My curls will last all day, can be slept on and will still be wavy the next! I’m sold!! Have used this about every other day for the past two months. Would highly recommend. Definitely do not need to spend money on a name brand.Very easy to use, would recommend using the glove the first few times you use it till you get the hang of it. It has multiple heat settings but I usually use the hottest. Adds a lot of thickness and body to my hair. Would recommend using a heat shield spray prior to each use. (Picture is curled, with fingers run through a few times. The more you shake out your hair the fuller/fluffier it will look.)

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. I thought that it was just a marketing ploy to get people to buy more hair styling tools. You know, a new twist on the classic curling iron - - I mean she already had a small (1" I think is the size) curling iron that worked just fine to achieve the curly look. But honestly, this is a great tool. Yes, a twist on the old, but it really does achieve the corkscrew, curly look more easily. It works great. It gets nice and hot (for those of you who may have a bit of trouble getting curls to hold). The only thing she had a problem with - - and this is not because of the tool, but rather a matter of knowing styling tips- she didn't know what to do with her ends that were unfinished. You can't curl all the way to the ends because, unlike with classic irons, there is no top plate to hold the hair in place as you curl - you are simply wrapping your hair around a hot barrel. The solution: go back to your ends with your regular curling iron and curl them. It sounds like a lot of work and time, but the time you save using this bubble wand makes up for having to finish your ends.

UPDATE: After watching a few YouTube videos on this product I decided to give it another shot. While I do prefer the curls I get from my older curling wand, this one isn't bad. Here's the catch... You must use the right styling products and practice, practice, practice. Your hair sits oddly on the wand and it takes some getting used to since where your hair falls on the wand determines the type of curl you get. I've used it a few more times and it's gotten better each time. If you have the patience to learn it, this is a decent wand. That being said I changed my stars from one to four.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was excited to try this wand but after several attempts, I just don't see any difference between the curls this wand gives versus a normal curling wand. I watched several different videos on YouTube but still couldn't get my hair to curl differently. It heats up quickly and is easy to use but honestly, I've gone back to using my old wand with better results. I'll probably be returning this one.

This is a horribly phallic looking object, lol, and I've had everyone that's seen it give me a strange look as to why it's in the open. With that said, if you're not embarrassed by its appearance, it works quite well. And, you don't really need to wear the one glove like Michael Jackson might ;) Just wrap your hair towards the end and pinch against it (it's plastic at the tip, so, not hot). I wasn't even interested in trying the glove as it looks like a loofah.I think a little product development could help with this for sure.For long hair, it works quite well, and is easy to use once you get comfortable with it, which didn't take long.

I really like this ball curling wand. It makes really cute curls that makes your hair look stylish and current. Using the wand can be tricky if you aren't careful because it is easy to burn yourself. I am new using it so I imagine I will get better the more I use it, maybe 2 gloves would be better.

Good quality product. Takes a little getting used to so definitely use the glove when learning. Gets very hot so make sure it sits on the arm stand and not your counter. Would be nice if it had auto shut off but otherwise happy with my purchase.

Well, I have to say, this ball wand is amazing! It has great heat and produces perfect curls. I have very thick long hair. It didn’t take long to do my hair and the curls lasted 3 days without touch ups. I didn’t want to go any longer without washing my hair. Everyone was asking me where I had my hair styled. They couldn’t believe I did it myself. I highly recommend this curling wand! You won’t be disappointed!

I LOVE this wand! I have very fine hair that falls flat and this gives it so much volume and such cute, beachy curls. I also have a regular 1" wand and I can't seem to figure out the technique, but this bubble wand is so easy to use. Great for beginners. Since it has bubbles, it creates more irregular waves/curls rather than perfect curls but I love that even more. Definitely buy this!
