Preparing the wand Cleaning the wand Before you start using your NuMe Classic curling wand, it’s important to ensure that it’s clean and free from any product buildup. Gently wipe the barrel of the wand with a soft cloth or towel to remove any residue. This will help ensure that the wand works properly and that your hair doesn’t get damaged. Choosing the right heat setting Next, you need to choose the right heat setting for your hair type and the style you want to achieve. The NuMe Classic curling wand comes with adjustable temperature settings, allowing you to customize the heat to suit your hair. It’s generally recommended to start with a lower heat setting and gradually increase it if needed. Preparing your hair Washing and drying your hair Before using the curling wand, it’s best to start with clean, dry hair. Wash and condition your hair as usual, and make sure to thoroughly dry it before you begin styling. Wet or damp hair can cause damage when exposed to heat. Applying heat protectant To protect your hair from heat damage, it’s important to apply a heat protectant product before using any styling tools. Spray a heat protectant evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This will create a barrier between your hair and the curling wand, minimizing the potential for damage. Sectioning your hair Dividing your hair into sections To ensure that you curl your hair evenly and effectively, it’s important to section it off. Divide your hair into two or three sections using clips or hair ties. This will make it easier to work with smaller, more manageable sections, allowing you to curl each section with precision. Securing the sections Once you have divided your hair into sections, secure each section so that it doesn’t interfere with the styling process. Use hair clips or hair ties to keep the hair out of the way while you curl each section. This will make the styling process faster and more efficient. Using the curling wand Starting with the bottom sections When using the NuMe Classic curling wand, it’s best to start curling from the bottom sections of your hair and work your way up. Take a small section of hair, about 1 inch wide, and wrap it around the barrel of the wand, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Hold the hair in place for a few seconds before releasing the curl. Wrapping the hair around the wand To achieve the desired curl, wrap the hair around the barrel of the curling wand in a spiral motion. Make sure the hair is evenly distributed and avoid overlapping the hair. Hold the ends of the hair with your fingers to protect them from the heat as you wrap the hair around the wand. This will give you a natural-looking curl. Holding and releasing the wand Holding the wand properly To ensure that you have full control over the wand and to minimize the risk of burning yourself, it’s important to hold the wand properly. Hold the wand near the base, using your thumb, index, and middle fingers. This grip will provide stability and help you maneuver the wand easily. Releasing the curl After holding the hair around the wand for a few seconds, gently release the curl by unwrapping the hair. Hold the curl in your hand for a few seconds to let it cool and set before moving on to the next section. This will help the curls last longer and prevent them from falling out too quickly. Creating different styles Loose waves To create loose waves with the NuMe Classic curling wand, use larger sections of hair and wrap them loosely around the barrel. Hold each section for a shorter amount of time, around 5-7 seconds, before releasing the curl. This will give your hair a more relaxed and natural look. Tight curls For tighter curls, use smaller sections of hair and wrap them tightly around the barrel of the wand. Hold each section for a longer amount of time, around 8-10 seconds, before releasing the curl. This will create more defined and bouncy curls. Beachy waves To achieve beachy waves, alternate the direction in which you wrap the hair around the barrel. Wrap some sections away from your face and others towards your face. This will create a more effortless and tousled look, resembling the waves you get after spending a day at the beach. Practicing the technique Practicing with different sections To perfect your curling technique, it’s a good idea to practice with different sections of hair. Start with the bottom sections and gradually work your way up to the top. Experiment with different sizes of sections and different wrapping techniques to find what works best for you. Adjusting the technique for your hair type It’s important to remember that different hair types require different techniques. Thicker hair may require higher heat settings and longer holding times, while fine hair may need lower heat settings and shorter holding times. Adjust the temperature and holding time accordingly to ensure that you achieve the desired results without damaging your hair. Finishing touches Applying hairspray To set your curls and make them last longer, apply a light mist of hairspray. Hold the can about 8-10 inches away from your head and spray evenly throughout your hair. This will help hold the curls in place and prevent them from loosening throughout the day. Using a diffuser for added volume If you want to add more volume to your curls, you can use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer. Attach the diffuser to the nozzle of your hairdryer and gently scrunch your curls with the diffuser, lifting them at the roots. This will create a fuller and more voluminous look. Tips and tricks Experimenting with different curl sizes Don’t be afraid to experiment with different curl sizes and styles. Use different sized sections of hair and vary the wrapping technique to create a variety of looks. This will help you find the style that suits you best and allows you to switch up your look whenever you feel like it. Using hair accessories for added flair To add some extra flair to your curls, consider using hair accessories such as hair clips, headbands, or hairpins. These accessories can help elevate your hairstyle and make your curls stand out even more. Experiment with different accessories to find the ones that complement your personal style.
