Are you looking for tips, tricks and visuals on how to curl your hair with a wand? Using this hair tool can be a little tricky at first, but with some know-how and the right curling wand, this will become your favorite way to style your hair.

Before I get into the how-to’s, I am so excited to have partnered with NuMe to bring you two phenomenal Mother’s Day coupon codes, exclusive for Mom Fabulous readers!

The sale starts today (4/22/16) and ends on Mother’s Day (5/8/16). This will make such a fun gift for the mom in your life or a gift for yourself! I have one of their magic wands and I use it for curls that last days. Even my 18 year old daughter, who has a pixie cut, uses it to give the top of her hair a little curl now and then. (She also mentioned that NuMe wands and straighteners are highly coveted hair tools among her friends. So I’m thinking, these would also make great graduation gifts!)

How to Curl Your Hair with a Wand

Okay, so after writing up articles on hairstyle changes that make you look younger and this ultimate guide for growing out your hair, I asked you to tell me what other hair articles you’re interested in. Several of you said tutorials on using a hair wand!

After some research, I found several lovely ladies who have excellent hair tutorial videos using NuMe hair wands. I watched a couple of them and then used their tips. Guess what? They’re hair geniuses! 🙂

Here are my favorite ones:

Here are the tips I pulled from their videos that I’ve used myself:

  • Use the wand on freshly washed hair after you’ve dried it (With a good dryer! Not all hair dryers are the same). The NuMe wands are such high quality that your hair will hold the curl until you wash it.
  • Spray hair with a heat protectant spray to help protect your hair from damage
  • Use the glove that comes with your wand to prevent burns
  • Section your hair into layers and curl section by section ( I use croc clips)
  • Hold the wand upside down to curl
  • Curl from root to tip
  • Brush through curls to soften for loose curls (I started doing this instead of using my fingers and I LOVE the results it gives me)
  • Curl away from your face
  • Lift your hair up at the root while curling to give it some added volume
  • Put a little hair cream on the ends of your hair to give them some moisture (I started doing this and it makes my hair look so much better!)
  • Set it with hairspray if needed

I love that curls and waves are a big trend right now. I also love that they look good on women of any age. Here are a few examples of celebrities sporting the curly hair trend recently.

      I think you'll love NuMe Ellie! I threw away another wand I purchased at Target. Just doesn't compare. :)

    That wand looks awesome and I love the price! ;) I really need to work on making looser curls. Mine always turn out so tight.
    • MomFabulous
      You definitely can't beat the price right now! I used to wear my curls really tight and it took me a few tries to get the hang of it. But now I only have to curl my hair after I wash it, about ever 3 days. I love it!

    I started using a wand a while back and instantly fell in love!! These tips were even helpful for me and I've had a wand for 2 years now!

    Love this! My friend has the PERFECT wand that was really long so we could curl our long hair, and I haven't been able to find one just like hers. Def the best way to curl though :)
  4. Rachel
    Thanks for sharing these tips! I wish my hair held a curl better, it never lasts more than a couple hours!
    • MomFabulous
      My hair has always held curl pretty well, but I've heard girls with really thin hair say using a wand helped them with that problem. I only curl my hair now every 3 days, after I wash it. The wand helps it stay curled for days. I love it!

    I cannot lie, I've always been terrified of these because I'm afraid to burn my hand! Thanks to your tips, I might try it now!

    Great tips! I love how the internet offers so many tutorials too. Your point about not all dryers being equal is SO TRUE! I've shelled out more money because it saves me so much drying time.

    Thank you for sharing this! I've been loyal to my curling iron for years, but I've always wondered about a wand! http://mykindofsweet.com/
    • MomFabulous
      I was loyal to my curling iron for 20 years (or more?). I love the look the wand gives me. :)

    I love my wand and have been doing a lot of the same things that you listed. I much rather the wand than a curling iron. This is so helpful and is a GREAT list of tips!! Xoxo, Angelle www.dashingdarlin.com

    Can you help me decide what size I should purchase? My hair is on the short to medium side. I don't want tight curls just be achy waives.
    • MomFabulous
      Hi Cindy, My daughter uses the 19mm and she has really short hair. That's the size I usually use as well and never get tight curls, but more of the beachy waves you're wanting. I think that one would be your best bet! It also depends on how much hair your curl. Do larger sections for more of a wave. Hope that helps!

    How did you know I need a tutorial like this?! My mom just started using a wand and her hair looks amazing. I've been too scared to try!
  11. Christine Anne
    I love wand curling for my hair but since I cut it I haven't felt like it looks good because it just becomes poofy. I think it's because my wand size is small. I'll have to give this one a shot :) Thanks for the medium hair video tutorial too!

    I've been wanting to order a NuMe wand for awhile now! All my favorite YouTubers use it. I may have to take advantage of this awesome deal!
