Xtava Satin Wave 5 in 1 Curling Wand
I am a huge lover of curls in my hair and I was delighted to get the chance to try out this curler from Xtava that includes 5 different interchangeable wands. Today's post is going to be talking through why I've converted to this styler and how you can win yourself one.
The Wand & Features
The curler handle comes in a sleek black design with easy to use buttons and a display for choosing your temperature. You can choose to heat your curler from 130 degrees - 210 degrees so makes it compatible for all hair strengths and types.
What I found so helpful with this wand is that is has a 360 swivel cord that allows me to curl my hair in all different angles without the cord getting in the way which I've found a fault in my other curlers. It also has a safety feature of a 60 minute auto sleep mode for those times you're in a rush and completely forget to turn it off!
You also get a really handy travel bag for storing all of your barrels and the handle so you won't end up losing anything, such a life saver for travelling and storage.
The Barrels
There are 5 different barrels included in the set (4 pictured above) which are all ceramic tourmaline and vary in size. They do not have a cool tip which is great for getting right down to the ends of your hair but you must wear the heat protective glove included as otherwise you'll burn your fingers! Having 5 different sized barrels means you can pick and choose what type of curl you want that day. In these photos I used the 0.7" - 1" barrel (which is the one pictured in the first photo) and got the curls you can see which are brushed through and scrunched to get a more beachy look.
Using The Wand
As you can see I have quite a unique way of curling my hair and actually curl from the top of my head which is where the problem of cords get in the way. As I pointed out above, the cord is a full 360 swivel which allows it to go around the back of my head whilst I curl my hair. I used the lowest temperature setting as I have coloured hair so I try to use as little heat as possible yet still got these results. Of course if you want a tighter curl then you can either push the heat up a bit more, hold the curl for longer or change to the smaller barrel. The glove is an absolute life saver as the barrels don't have a cool tip to grip onto so I need a way of gripping my hair without burning my fingers. The fabric of the glove is a little itchy but I can justify that for 20 minutes whilst I curl my hair.
Results
I have since used the tighter wand 0.3" - 0.75" for my hair and I absolutely loved the look of it. This was a few days after and as you can see the curls are still pretty much in place! I am really enjoying using this curler and love how you can change up what curls you want for the occasion. Even better this curler is currently £21.99 on Amazon and will soon be £45.99 again.
