Hair 101: The Wand

Isabelle Fuhrman

"The Wand" is becoming a popular hair untensil amongst tons of medium to long haired girls. Isabelle Furhman, pictured above, from the Hunger games is sporting a hairstyle that only a wand could accomplish. I love how her has very consructed coils while the hair is still loose and natural. The carefree wave look is becoming very "in" for spring/summer 2012.   The wand is basically a just a curling iron with no clamp that is bigger at the bottom and becomes smaller as it gets closer to the tip. The wand creates a spiral curl that is much looser than a normal curling iron and gives off more of a carefree wave. The wand comes in many different brands such as the one pictured below, although they may not all go by the name, The Wand.

Have you ever tried the Wand or a similar curling iron? How do you like the curls?

Hair 101: Heatless Curls

Flat irons and curling irons can do wonders for our hair, but also leave behind harsh damage. Heatless curls give you a style that many girls out there think only a plate of heat can accomplish. Heatless curls are achieved by using only bobby pins and the amount of bobby pins is totally up to you. All you do is wrap sections of your  around 1-3 of your fingers going all the way up to the top of your head. Once the whole section is wrapped, pin it down with a bobby and tie your hair with a scarf so the pins do no fall out. After a couple of hours, or even over night, you should take out the bobby pins and you will see beautiful curls that only a require a light finger comb. P.S. If you already have curly or wavy hair you may want to blowdry it straight before trying the pin curls or ou can leave your hair as is.
