Clipless Curling Wand: Is There a Cheaper Alternative?

Hello loves,



So, I am getting much more into styling my hair over the past year. As I have mentioned, I purchased the NuMe Curl Jam set for the clipless curling wand in three different sized barrels. Prior to purchasing this, when I wanted to curl my hair I used the incredibly inexpensive Conair Instant Heat 3/4 inch standard curling iron ($10 if that at Walmart). When the clipless trend came about, I just wrapped my hair over the barrel and clip and seemed to achieve the same results.

I wanted to test these two products, side by side, to see if the clipless wands are worth the hype, and if NuMe wands are worth the price tag.

Findings:
1) The NuMe wand was much faster at curling my hair (9 mins vs. Conair's 14 mins)

2) The NuMe wand left my hair noticeably more shiny.

3) The Conair iron left my hair easier to fluff

4) I burnt my finger twice with the NuMe, and zero times with the Conair. (The NuMe does come with a glove which I always neglect).

5) I hesitantly say I prefer the look of the curls from the Conair (though, they look extremely similar)

Conclusion:

I appreciate the speed of the NuMe and how it felt in my hand versus the Conair. However, if we are simply judging based on the final look, I would recommend saving your money and picking up the Conair.

Thanks for your time and for checking out my video here.

Meet My Husband, Alan!

Good day!

(How awesome is this caricature of us? This is care of the amazingly talented man behind Cann's Cartoons, and you can reach him for hire at cannscartoons@gmail.com. )

My husband sat down and filmed a video with me! This is his first ever time filming a video for YouTube, and was very nervous before hand because he thought that he would end up looking like a goof- which he totally is so I don't really see the problem! We filmed the Mr and Mrs tag which even included props that I masterfully crafted moments before we sat down to film. We had a lot of fun and I think that I've convinced him to maybe participate a little more on my channel- so be encouraging! 

We found this video idea from the Sacconejoly's on YouTube. You can find the inspiration video here.

If you have any questions for us or Alan in particular, leave a comment and I will have him answer. Or if it deserves its own video, I may be able to make that happen as well. Thank you for your time and for watching our video found here

Cheers,
