{Review}: NuMe Magic Wand {19mm}

NuMe 19mm Magic Wand

I cannot believe I have waited so long to share my thoughts on this GREAT brand find!

Let me first state that I have extremely straight hair.  If I let my hair air dry after brushing it, it is stick straight.  If I blow dry, I can get some root volume, but still, it is very straight.  Stating that, it is also important to note that my hair resists holding curl.  Generally, I can curl it at home and it will look great until I step outside and then all of my curls fall.  I have found a few curling irons in the past {one of which being a really great Revlon one} that have allowed me to get a little curl to stay on a day with low humidity, but usually I have to sleep in rollers to retain curls for longer than 30 minutes after leaving my home.  With that being said, I am IN LOVE with the NuMe brand curling wands.  I purchased my second one last month and I could not be happier.  I don't know what kind of magical beauty fairy dust those people sprinkle on these wands, but whatever it is, I wish they could bottle it for me and send a little extra for those bad hair days we all experience.  Now, onto the information about my new wand and my review....

I purchased the NuMe Magic Wand in the 19mm size.  It has a digital display which projects the temperature setting and it also changes from blue to green when it reaches your desired temperature setting.  This wand can go all the way to 450 degrees and it is available in three colors {I got the black one}.

I use this wand in the morning before work and my curls stay all day and into whatever I'm doing in the evening - in Mississippi - in 100% humidity!  I will say the only time my curls do fall out is if I'm sweating a lot {gross, I know - but, we all sweat}.  I have only worn a sad face after using this wand when I've headed to a cookout or evening on the patio where I was hot and too much moisture effected the hair.  Let's face it, on nights like that, I should be rocking a messy bun anyway!  I really really really recommend this wand {or the reverse wand - it also works VERY well}.  I'm interested in purchasing one of their blow dryers soon, so stay tuned for my thoughts on that once I decide what I want.  You can check out NuMe now by visiting: NuMe

Notes:

• NuMe is a little pricy, BUT you can always find a coupon code that will knock off a huge amount.  Before I purchased this wand I messaged them on Facebook and someone replied asking what my hair type was and then gave me their suggestions on which wand would be best and they also included a recent coupn code.  This really impressed me.  As far as savings go: the price for the magic wand on the site today is $169.  After the coupon code I used, it was $49.99 plus shipping.  It also arrived in about 4 days!
• I wanted a "smaller" barrel, as I feel that is the best way to get staying power for my hair.  If your hair holds curl well and you are looking for a wand that will give you those sexy beach waves that are so in right now {which is what I ultimately get from the wand once the initial curl resistance occurs}, I would suggest getting a bigger barrel - this one is quite small and will give you smaller curls.
• ALWAYS use a heat defending/protecting spray!!!!!  These wands get super hot and will burn your hair without the proper protection! {I use TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray - it was less than $5 at CVS}
• Have fun and be YOU!

'Til next time, stay pretty lovelies!
