Curling Wand Techniques
Although the curling wand is oh-so simple to use, did you know there are specific curling wand techniques? Yup, that's right! These wrapping techniques can create a completely different curl using the same barrel. Read on for these must know curling wand techniques that will take your curls to the next level.
Curling Wand Techniques
Flat Wrap Technique
First off is the flat wrap technique. Also known as the ribbon curl! The flat wrap technique is where the hair is wrapped flat around the barrel with no twisting. To nail the technique, you'll have to ensure you're repositioning your hand whilst wrapping the hair around the wand. This is because the hair will naturally want to twist slightly with the motion of wrapping. The effect of the flat wrap technique gives a quite defined curl, much like a ribbon. When brushed out, it's the perfect curl for thinner hair types to achieve maximum volume. This technique is ideal with the ZALA Cosmo Wand 9-18mm barrel.
Twisted Technique
The twist technique is the most common when using a curling wand . This is because the hair naturally twists when being wrapped around the barrel. There are a few variations of the twisted curling wand techniques. Tightly twisted sections will achieve a compact curl and are great for adding amongst larger curls to create texture.
Loose twisted sections are perfect for recreating natural curls. It's also great to refine natural curls! In this case, be sure to twist in the direction of the natural curl pattern. By twisting the hair whilst wrapping around the barrel, you'll create a pattern that isn't exactly exact. Much like a natural curl. This technique creates the most beautiful curl when paired with the ZALA Cosmo Wand Spiral 32mm Barrel!
Combo Wrap Technique
Lastly, the combo wrap. This technique creates a gorgeous textured wave. Start by using your flat wrap technique. Once you get halfway down the hair, don't change the position of your hair and wrap around as usual. By doing so, you'll create a super boho look. Once brushed out, the result reveals beautiful tousled curls. We love this technique for long, thick hair types especially!
