Review: Verge Bubble Wand By One Styling Tools

2012-05-30 15.59.33

Messy Up-do’s, braids, and waves are the new “IN” for hair styling. “The more messy the hair is, the better it is.” Verge by One Bubble Wand is a new styling tool from ONE. It creates beautifully imperfect curls and waves.

I was super excited to be given the chance to work with ONE. They have an amazing variety of tools; flat irons, blow dryers, curling irons! You name it and they have the best of the best!

I am still absolutely in AWE of how pretty the bubble wand is. I was sent a pink one, and it has a glitter finish. I could really see it sparkle when I pulled it out of the box. This isn’t something I’ve seen EVER in styling tools. Winking smile I love it!

You can KIND of see the glitter in this one. As you can tell- this is a very unique product! It uses Nano Gold (NG) ceramic to guarantee an even heating throughout the barrel.

The older models of styling tools can be damaging to your hair, EXTREMELY damaging. What you used 5 years ago is outdated, so you definitely need to check into something that isn’t so harsh. When your hair becomes damaged from heat styling, it becomes brittle and lifeless. It can also cause extreme frizz and stubborn split ends.

To avoid the damage that outdates styling tools do to your hair,  definitely check into ONE Styling Products! All of their products are VERY helpful at maintaining the health of your hair. The Ceramic Technology lets the heat from the tool spread evenly throughout the hair. Older models don’t have this quality and tend to make certain parts of the hair hotter than others.

This bubble wand has the metal rest at the bottom that prevents it from slipping off the counter. This made it extremely easy for me to set it down on the counter while adjusting the strands of my hair.

Believe it or not, but I have a wand that DOESN’T have a rest on the bottom. SO it makes it REALLY hard to sit it down. When I do, I have to balance it on top of something that I know isn’t going to get so hot that it catches fire.

This rest makes it SAFE to sit on the counter, I don’t have to worry that it’s going to unexpectedly roll off on top of me or hit the floor.

I also love that this has a tiny little clip made for grabbing your hair. It also helps so that you aren’t  burning your fingers. That curling rod that I mentioned earlier? It didn’t have a clip and I ended up burning my hand wrapping my hair around the barrel.

I love that this clip DOES hold the hair VERY well. There weren’t pieces falling out or coming loose. It held my hair perfectly, so I ended up with nothing but perfect curls!

WP_000560WP_000565

The iron gets hot VERY quickly, reaching the temperature of 410*. BUT the tip of the bubble wand doesn’t get hot. It DOES get warm, but I can still stick my fingers on the tip, so that I have control over the wand while doing my hair.

I love this because my curls can hold ALL day and the next day if I wanted. I love that with this 1 styling tool, I can get many different looks. I can get the spring loaded curls on the right just by holding the bubble wand close and wrap the strands tightly.

I can also run my hands through my hair a couple of times and get this amazing beachy love wave look. I LOVE this messy little look. It’s perfect to showcase my black lowlights!

About the Bubble Wand Curling Iron!

Verge is a bubble wand curling iron. This has a non-slip counter rest, so that when you put it on the counter, either waiting for it to get hot, or to choose another section of hair- it won't fall off the counter.

It instantly heats up to 410* F, but yet has a cool tip so that you can still hold it while curling your hair. MAJOR advantage. Even though it gets super hot, you don't have to worry about burning your fingertips on a hot curling iron. If you have a smartphone- it comes with a code on the front of the box so you can see HOW to use this.

If you don't have a smartphone, you can just visit their youtube channel to see the exact same thing! http://youtube.com/vergestyling

It has Ceramic NG heating. The next step in hair tool performance and hair health: provides constant, even heat for locking in styles and moisture, aids protection against heat damage. NG (Nano Gold) Detoxifies the hair leaving the hair healthy and more manageable.

BeyondtheBeauty Zebra Print Curling Rod Review & Giveaway

2012-04-04 11.39.12

Zebra Print Curling Rod

I have only used traditional curling irons to curl my hair before. I have never had the opportunity to use a curling rod until now. Beyond the Beauty sent me a curling rod to review.

These aren’t like regular curling irons, because they don’t have the clip part on the rod. It’s just the rod. At first- I had trouble with this, I couldn’t get close to my head because I was scared of it slipping and burning me on the forehead. Now that I’ve used it more than once, I can totally curl my hair without getting scared.

It’s just learning something new. It’s WAY much better than the traditional irons’ once you get the hang of it. The iron warms up much quicker

Here are some pictures of my hair with different angles. I love that this curling rod lets me get closer to my scalp without burning me or my forehead! I don’t use the heatproof glove that comes with it very often. Once you get the hang of how to hold it, you don’t really need to use it. It’s just a precaution so you don’t burn yourself.

I love that I could create so many different looks with just this one ROD.! I can curl it, make it wavy, flip it out, flip it in, and so much more.

With traditional irons, you usually see the crease of where the clamp on the iron has been. With this rod, there is no clamp, so you don’t have any creases.

I love how they have choices of colors. I have never seen a zebra print curling iron OR rod- until now. I love it. Adam’s mom is a zebra print fanatic, and she will for SURE try and jack this! LOL.

It takes less than a full minute to heat all the way up! So you spend more time curling and less time waiting. The trick to using the rods is to use smaller sections of hair.

You split your hair into 2 sections (top and bottom) put the top part up in a clip or elastic band and start curling on the bottom. These products help create shiny, damage-free, healthy hair.

I only had to keep my hair in the curling position on the rod for about 5-10 seconds to get that perfect wavy/curl look. I could never NEVER get it right with a curling iron-EVER!

This is a top of the line, exceptionally amazing curling rod. It is such great quality. I love that the cord is extra long. I hated using a curling iron with a short cord. Either I couldn’t move around much, or I had to locate an extension cord every time I wanted to curl. NO LONGER!!

Even the packaging that it comes in is unique and one of a kind.
