Let’s face it, not everyone is blessed with curly hair. I’m really lucky in that I have coiled curls that grace my long luscious locks, but those that don’t have curls need to improvise some. Since my natural curls are coiled and there are days that I may want softer, larger barrel size curls, I turn to one of my favorite hair tool brands. I have a pretty nice collection of Nume goodies from the Lustrum Set, Classic Reverse Wand and the 25mm Classic Wand so it’s a hair tool line that I truly do enjoy. As I say, when you don’t have them yourself – improvise and Nume has the tools to help with that. Nume celebrates their 5 year anniversary (Happy Birthday Nume!) and with that I want to share with you one of my favorite hair tools and some fun discounts you can utilize to get in on some of this hair tool goodness for yourself.
If you are looking to change up your style some, I definitely suggest the classic wand. I have the 25mm which is a common barrel size and perfect for someone who is a beginner hair tool user or advanced. The Classic Wand has a 100% Tourmaline-infused ceramic coated barrel and utilizes an innovative clipless design for crease-free curls. Since I naturally have dry hair – it’s great to use a wand instead of a curling iron because the clip can cause creases and with dry hair, it literally can ruin all that work… so I prefer a wand vs. a curling iron. The curling wand has negative ion technology and heats up to 410°F. What I love the most is that with your purchase/order you also get a heat-resistant glove that helps with the curling process. I put emphasis on “heat resistant” because you can still burn your fingers, so use extreme caution still.
Since I have natural curls that tend to be really coiled and tight, I like to brush my hair out with my fingers to soften my natural curls. Using a Flat Iron can help straighten your natural curls prior to adding them back in with the curling wand. Since the Classic Wand has that tourmaline-infused ceramic coated barrel, when using it on your hair you are locking in shine and your curls will last longer. This type of curling wand is perfect for those beachy waves we all love to rock during the summer months or voluminous glam waves for that night out with the girls or a date. This wand is perfect for use on medium or long hair and since it heats up quickly, it makes the process of creating your perfect waves easy as pie.
To create the soft beachy waves I am sporting today – I finger combed my natural curls so that they were not so tight and then grabbed 1 inch sections of my hair. Starting at various lengths of my hair (some near the root, some near the bottom and the middle of my locks) I added the curl using the Nume 25mm Classic Wand. Once I completed my whole head of hair, I finger combed through my hair once again to pull out the curls so they were not so tight. Since I added the curls to different sections and lengths of my hair, it gave me much needed volume and created a fuller textured look. To set the curls, I added a shine spray and scrunched my hair with some Argan Oil. Since I have thin hair but my hair is long… I need to create more volume and add to the bulk of my hair so I also spray with a light leave-in conditioner and I’m good to go. If you want more curls then texture, you can always skip running your fingers through your hair and leave the curls intact and set with a setting or hair spray. Make sure prior to adding any heat to your hair that you use a heat protectant so that you are protecting your locks from damage.
Creating beautiful locks with curls for days is as easy as moving your arms above your head. It can take a little practice sometimes, but once you find a routine you enjoy – you will find that it is easier than you thought. Since my hair is just about past my butt, it can take me a while to get through my whole head of hair, but it’s all worth it in the end.

What a great wand! You look gorgeous in soft beachy waves, but truth-be-told I love your natural curls more!
thank you 🙂 My husband says the same… he likes the looks they give but prefers my natural hair more… he says it looks more exotic me… whatever he means. lmao
Love those beautiful soft waves! And your hair color is gorgeous too.
thank you Allison 🙂 It’s actually completely faded from that bright pink red I had it during Xmas… I am trying to figure out my next course of action with regard to hair color 🙂
I can’t believe how well it did with my shorter hair. The 25mm is the perfect size for what I need at the moment. I’ll definitely upgrade when my hair gets long again!
This may actually work for me with my shoulder length hair.
it wil definitely work 🙂
Beach waves look amazing on you. That’s a great curling iron.
thank you love. It really is a good one.
I use a curling iron the same way – sometimes my curls break apart, or I want them to all look more uniform, or I want a looser curl – even us curly girls need a good curling iron!
yes – girl, yes… we need good hair tools too. I have always had tighter curls… so I would love the big barrel curls a good curling iron would give me 🙂
Some great deals. I’ve yet to use an iron like that but with the glove I could probably do it.
yes, the glove helps a lot… I’ve been curling my hair a long time and have burnt my self many many times… but sometimes I think the glove can be too bulky… I do like it though.
Everybody seems to be talking about NuMe today! lol. Your hair looks great!
thank you 🙂 Yes, it’s a Nume day 🙂
I didn’t realize that NuMe had hair care products. That’s kinda cool. I love curling wands!
girl… yes! The white truffle line is the one I have my eyes on trying next. I have been using Nume hair care for quite a while and some of the products I still own I think they may be sold out or no longer have but they are really nice. 🙂 I can’t wait to try the white truffle hair care… I hear such wonderful things. 🙂
This is such a cool wand and color. Love the results it gave you.
thank you 🙂 Yes, that wand color is fab. I had the purple which is my favorite color but recently gave it away to my niece… I miss it. lol But this color is so awesome – so bright and fun.
I’ve been loving this brand too. I can’t believe the amazing deals that they’re having. Your hair looks so pretty!
it gave you beautiful curls Stacie. 🙂 And, yes – the deals have allowed me to build my little arsenal of products. I have a KQC flat iron but I really want to try one from Nume as well – I may take advantage of this awesome sale.
I like how the power cord is on the wand. It looks like a lot less tangles that way.
yes… I love a rotating power cord so it makes it easy to curl your hair without the chord getting in your way – so beneficial.
Love your looser, beachy curls. I like this wand, it’s a good one. 😀
thank you! I agree, it’s a great wand.
This looks like such a great want. I love the colour!
I love how these wands don’t have the clip on them! I won one of these a year ago and LOVE it!
OOOO I have been wanting to try this iron!
