On the left side we’ll both use a 1” curling wand and on the right side we’ll each use the curling iron with a clamp.


Generally speaking, the curling wand gives a more relaxed, beachy wave while the classic curling iron will make refined curls. 


Work in sections and clip some of the hair back to make it easier. Here the curling wand curls are taking shape nicely:

Both types of curls turned out beautifully! The curling iron side is more defined and reminds us of 2012 style.

On the other side, the looser, California beach vibes waves feel much more current.

The curled side feels more formal and would be perfect for an evening look.
