My girls and I love to curl our hair when we have the time. The only problem is that my hair just can not hold a curl for very long. It’s kind of sad, actually. I have tried just about every hair styling goop and spray, and own about 3 different curling irons, wands and straighteners. I finally ditched the hot rollers after years of trying those. Everything I’ve used lately will curl my hair, but end up falling near flat within a couple of hours. Until now.

Remington sent me the Ultimate Stylist set of hair tools to try out. At first, I was skeptical. The main piece has the electrical components, and comes with a tear drop shaped wand, and a heat resistant glove. You can buy other attachments for it, including a 1″ curling iron rod, and a 1/2″-1″ graduated curling wand. I’m not much of a fan of the curling wands, but I wanted to give it a fair chance. I asked my girls who wanted to get their hair curled, and of course, they both did. First, I started with my Victoria. She chose the tear drop curling wand. It promises “natural waves”. Here’s how they turned out:

Not to be out done, my Alexandra wanted curls! We tried both the tear drop (like her sister) and the graduated curling wand on her. I don’t know if I was just being overly cautious about how long I held it in her hair, but she had lots of big curls!

For me, I tried the 1″ curling iron. It’s easier for me to use the wand on the girls, and the curling iron with the clamp on myself. The thing I liked the most about this one is the longer barrel length. My hair is really long right now, and I typically have to curl some, move the curling iron halfway up and curl the rest. With this one though, I was able to curl the entire length of my hair with no problems, which cut down on the time it took.. and boy oh boy!!! Did I have curls!!!

I used a little bit of hair spray in my hair to see how long it would hold. Just to test it out, I wanted to see how long my curls stayed… I was able to keep curls up to 3 days! I would put my hair in a bun at night, and let it down and tousle my hair in the morning. After day 3, I needed to wash my hair. It was time. I am in love with this curling iron!

Here’s a quick look at how the attachments work. You plug the two prongs into the handle and twist the purple ring to lock it on. Un-twist to unlock it and put on the attachment you want to use! Make sure the first attachment is cooled off before you try to change it though!

You’ll find the Remington Ultimate Stylist collection at your local Walmart stores for $24.97.

Let me know what you think about it if you do try it!!! So far, I’m hooked!
