Beautiful Curly hair!

I was super stoked when I got an invite for this trial. I have very long hair which is frizzy so I use a GHD to straighten it, but have tried many times to try and get beautiful looking curls using my GHD,  with no luck.

This is an appealing looking curling wand, I also have the matching hairdryer so I like that they are the same lovely champagne colour. It has a lot of functions,  you can adjust the heat which I love. It ranges from 140°-210°, I use it at 180° which is perfect for me.  There is a guide in the booklet which says what temperature suits your hair type the best. Then there is the intelligent sensor which controls the heat and stops it from going too hot on your hair and overheating. You can also lock the temperature in which is great as I kept accidentally pushing the buttons while using it. It has a fantastic 3m long swivel cord and comes with a heat resistant pouch. There are far too many functions to list.

It takes about 30 seconds to heat up which is great. The LED indicator blinks while heating up then stops blinking when it is ready to use. My first few attempts were horrible,  I got really bad creases left at the top of my hair and it just looked really bad. So I watched countless YouTube videos on how to curl hair and got some pretty great tips.

The trick is to start at the top of your hair not the bottom as I was doing. Sliding the tongs downwards and curling, it definitely takes a lot of practice to get the hang of it, and a couple of burns lol but I am a little clumsy so it was my own fault.

I really love the end look I can achieve with these now, I like to do soft beachy looking curls which look beautiful. After curling I give my hair a good shake out to soften the curls, I also wait until my hair has cooled down before I spritz with hairspray as it makes the look last way longer.

This is a great curling wand which after finally mastering using it I am really loving. Before it was just straight hair I could achieve and now so many other options. Highly recommend this! Thanks BR!

Shiny and beautiful curls!

I haven’t owned a curler in over 10 years, so I was very excited to be selected for this trial! The last curlers I owned weren’t that great though and I was never able to achieve good quality curls with them. I also own a GHD and there have been many times when I’ve attempted to curl my hair with them, however I’ve never been able to! So these curlers were my last hope for perfect at-home curls!

In the box you get the curlers, a heat resistant pouch, and a use/care manual. The heat resistant pouch is a light beige colour with gold flecks on it. The pouch is very cute, but the outside of it is definitely not heat proof. I rested the curler on it when first warming it up and some of the gold flecks transferred onto the curler.

The curlers have a very long cable, which is great if you’re like me and like to move about while doing your hair. There is a stand attached to the curlers so you can set it down without it burning any surfaces (I only noticed this after burning the outside of the pouch)! The curlers took around 30 seconds to heat up. If you haven’t used them in 60 minutes they will automatically turn off, which is good for peace of mind.

I must admit I googled “how to use curlers” because it’s been so long since I’ve used them and I wanted to do these curlers justice. My hair is quite long at the moment, which can make curling difficult but I found helpful hints online. I’ve included some hints for curling long hair and/or thick hair in the tip section below.

The temperature of the curlers can be adjusted from 140 to 210°C. There is a digital display so you know exactly what temperature they are set at. There is also a boost button which instantly increases the temperature to 210°C. I kept the curlers set around 180 to 200°C as that was the recommended temperature found in the manual for normal/healthy hair.

The barrel of the curler is a decent size. Not too thick or too thin. In my opinion, this curler created the ideal sized curls for soft beachy waves. The curls were also lovely and shiny looking which may be due to the shea oil infused in the ceramic coating. After styling I always used a decent amount of hairspray and after doing so I found the curls lasted all day.

Overall I would highly recommend these curlers! They can be purchased for a decent price (keep an eye out for sales), they are simple to use, and they create shiny curls that last all day.

Tips: How to curl long hair and/or thick hair – Hold the curler vertically with the clasp facing forward. Clasp a 5cm section of hair about halfway up. Twirl the curler out and away from your face so you are just curling the roots. Hold for about 7 seconds then gently release the clasp just slightly and slide the curler down to about 3-5cms from the ends. Lastly curl the section of hair all the way to the roots and hold for another 7 seconds. And voila – beautiful curls for long hair!

Infinite practice needed

When I received my Remington infinite protect curling tongs I was super excited to have a try and did so straight away. When I first tried them my hair wasnt freshly washed and the curls just seemed to drop out instantly. I found the tongs extremely comfortable to hold and easy to use however. If it wasnt for the locking mode you would continuously change the temp setting as it sit directly where my fingers were and as I rolled the tongs I kept pressing them.

After washing an drying my hair I tried a second attempt. The tongs did as they should and created some nice curls. I however was not the best at controlling this tool and found it tricky to get the perfect curl in the direction I wanted. The curling tongs are great and I feel with more patience and practice on my part I will find them a whole lot better and easier.

Tips: Make sure you hold down the "-" button (temp lock) for 2secs once selecting the right temperature for your hair otherwise you will keep changing the temp as you use it.

Beachy Waves to Hollywood Glamour

The Remington Infinite Protect Curling Tong was an absolute blast to trial and I truely love it, here is what I found.

The curling tong can be used for so many looks and styles, from beachy waves, pin up vibes, a textured ponytail or Hollywood glamour curls. It does take some practice but once you get into the swing of using the tong it becomes quite effortless and you can achieve great styles in a matter of a few minutes.

The technical stuff - The Infinite Protect Curling Tong comes with the Infinite Protection Technology that ensures your curls are protected for long lasting vibrancy & shine. It also ensures not to fade your colour treated hair and adjusts the temperature automatically to prevent overheating based on your individual hair type. The Advanced Ceramic coating on the barrel transfers micro conditioners infused with Shea Oil and U.V. filters for extra protection, how fancy is that!

The tong has a nice sized 32mm barrel with a clip to hold the hair in place, no need for a special glove with this one. It is perfect for creating natural voluminous curls and waves with a digital display and 5 heat settings 140°C-210°C to let you choose the temperature based on your hair type. I have quite dry hair naturally and the tong did not make it feel dried out or crunchy, the curls lasted all day with a natural looking shine. I used the tong at 190°C and found that temperature perfect for my hair type.

The design is sleek and modern in gold and black. There is a support stand so you can place the tong down while hot with the assurance it's not going to burn anything. The cord is super long at 3 meters which is a fantastic added bonus.

The Remington tong also comes with it's own stylish carry pouch with the continuation of the gold colouring, perfect for on the go as you do not need to let the tong cool down before you pack it away in your bag.

5 year warranty included.

I am definitely going to continue to practice new styles, it's so lovely not to have flat hair every day.

Tips: For natural beachy waves ensure to curl some sections of hair toward the face and others away from the face.

There are so many YouTube tutorials on all different styles, start there for tips if you are a beginner.

To Infinity and Beyond

Being fed up with trying and failing to curl my hair with hair straightener (how does that actually work?) I was super pleased to get on this trial.

It looks easy to use and it is, but it doesn't come with instructions so I had to google it. Even then it took a couple of go's but once I'd got the hang of it it is super easy and I was away!

It probably only takes me 10 minutes to do my whole (shoulder length) hair and it leaves me with gorgeous beachy waves.

I love the design of the tool, it's light in my hand, the cord doesn't get in the way and everything feels perfectly placed for my fingers/thumb to control.

If you love this look then this is the tool for you! They have great specials at Farmers so keep an eye out and give it a go.

Practice lots

I recieved this gem in the last beauty vault. I’ve never owned one of these before I was keep ito give this a try . I have tried using a straightener to curl the ends off before and it’s worked fine . Remington is a versatile brand can be found at most store. Their brand is also with fly buys and I’ve used my points before in the past .

This curling tong comes in a box . Inside is instructions . It came with a beautiful white and gold bag . There’s a heat setting on this wand. I’ll admit I struggled to understand how to use this straightener. I was putting my hair it wrong . I just kept practicing until I finally got it .

Overal price wise it’s a bit expensive . I honestly probably wouldn’t go out and spend that much on a curling tong . It’s ok to use . Use your fly buys points to buy it .

Lovely curls

I love the look of this curler, so glamourous. I have super straight and long hair, so I like to change up my hair sometimes with a nice curl.

I find this curler is really easy to use and heats up quickly. It's quite light compared to other heated styling tools.

I find it curls my hair well and it looks really nice - great for a change! Also, I find I do not burn myself as I have with other tools, such as the wands.

Overall, a great product that is not too pricey. 4 stars from me. I would recommend if you are after a good curler!
