GHD Curve Creative Wand Review

Hi everyone,

I have always been really terrible at curling my hair, especially if I try to do it with my straighteners! I don't know how people do it as mine always ends up a frizzy, zig-zag style which just looks a mess. I then end up having to start from scratch and wash it again in order to get it back to normal. I have an old curling wand that I have tried to use as well but it takes forever to heat up and then you have to leave each section of hair on the curler for about 5 minutes before it does anything which is less than ideal. At Christmas, I was at my whit's end with trying to make my hair look decent for parties and nights out so with my Christmas money I decided to splash out on the GHD Curve Creative Wand.

 

I have to say I was so impressed with the delivery service as I ordered the curler late one evening and it was here by lunch time the next day, and there was no charge for delivery either. I was also able to get the Copper Luxe Gift Set (normally £120) with £20 off and then an extra 10% off with an offer code - bargain! Included in the set is the GHD Curve Creative Wand itself, a heat resistant travel bag and a Nails Inc copper nail polish which is just so pretty.

The wand itself has a 28mm barrel which tapers down to 23mm at the tip which is meant to allow you to create a variety of different looks with the one wand. It also heats up in a matter of seconds and has a sound indicator as well as a light to let you know that it is ready. One of the features which I really like is that it will automatically turn itself off after 30 minutes of not being used so that you can rest assured that your house isn't going to burn down from accidentally leaving it on! I can't tell you how many times I have had to rush back and check that I have turned my straighteners off so this is a God send for me.

As someone who is really not good at curling their hair, I have found this wand surprising easy to use and I have gotten better with practice. The first time I did it I washed my hair and then just blasted it with the hairdryer before going in with the curling wand. I found that my hair ended up a bit bigger than I would have liked when doing this though so now I either blow dry or actually straighten my hair before using the curler. This helps to tame it down a little so that I can get the look I want. Most people probably won't need to do this but I can't explain how much my hair has a life of it's own and needs a lot of work to keep it in shape!

You only need to hold the wand on the hair for about ten seconds which has meant that I am able to curl my hair so much quicker now. I have found that it is easier to achieve more of a wavy look than tight curls but for me this is more the style that I am after. I don't know if it is just because I am new to this but if I wanted to achieve a tighter curl I would probably look to use a different wand.

Overall, I am really happy that I decided to treat myself to this curler and it makes doing my hair so much easier. Have you tried the GHD Curve Creative Wand? Which other curling wands would you recommend?
