So, I bought this Remington curling wand the other day, you know, the Botanicals one? I’ve been wanting to try out those loose, beachy waves everyone’s been rocking lately. Figured it was time to ditch the old straightener-as-a-curler trick and get a proper tool.

How to Use Wand Curling Iron Remington? Pro Tips for Beginners

First off, I gotta say, finding one of these things wasn’t as easy as I thought. I mean, yeah, they’re everywhere online, but I wanted to see it in person before buying. Anyway, I finally found this one and snagged it.

When I got home, I ripped open the box like a kid on Christmas morning. Inside, there was the wand itself and a little instruction booklet. To be honest, I kinda just skimmed through the manual – who needs instructions for a curling iron, right? Wrong! Turns out, this thing has a bunch of different heat settings. It is designed with multiple temperature settings, providing very high heat settings for curling very coarse hair.

  • I plugged it in, and the first thing I noticed was how quickly it heated up. Seriously, within seconds it was ready to go. I have pretty thick hair, so I cranked it up to one of the higher settings.
  • Next, I sectioned off my hair with some clips I had lying around. Spray a heat protectant. It’s nothing fancy, just something to keep my hair from frying.
  • Then came the fun part – the actual curling. I took a small section of hair and wrapped it around the wand, holding it there for a few seconds like the instruction booklet said. When ready to release curl.
  • I burned my fingers. Twice. Note to self: maybe actually read the instructions next time.
  • After the initial finger-burning incidents, I started to get the hang of it. Hold the curl in place for up to 20 seconds for tight curls or if hair is hard to curl. Hold for less time if hair is easy to curl, or if you want loose curls or just waves. I experimented with different sections of hair, wrapping them tighter or looser, holding them for longer or shorter periods.

It took a bit of practice, but eventually, I started to see the results I was after. It was not quite as easy as the girls made it look, but not bad for a first try.

I finished up my whole head, gave it a good shake, and there they were – loose, kinda messy, but definitely beachy waves. I was pretty stoked with how it turned out. I might need a few more practice runs to really nail it, but overall, I’m happy with my new wand. And hey, at least I learned a valuable lesson: always read the instructions, even if you think you know what you’re doing.
