I have almost always had extra long hair and I’m always on the hunt for new ways to style it. Because it’s so long now, I am lazy most of the time and wear it up in a messy bun. Or, as the parents out there might say, a “Mom” bun. I have just grown so bored with the same old styles day after day. I am not a good braider, so that’s out. I have too much hair to take the time for any cute updos, and I don’t think I could find the time for it anyway.
When my hair was shorter, I straightened it 50% of the time and curled it the other 50%. I think I was in middle school the first time I curled my hair… that was a hot mess. But, over the years I have become an excellent curler. Now that my hair is so ridiculously long, I curl it more than ever. I have been using the same 3 curling iron for the last…five to ten years ish? So, as result, I have become very bored with curling my hair.
A few weeks ago, I came across a hair extension that I hadn’t seen before(Irresistible Me), so I popped over to the website to take a look around. Before I had Char, I always wore extensions, they just gave me that extra pop I was looking for when getting all dolled up. However, now that I am a mom with very long hair who doesn’t get out too much, I don’t have much of a use for them. While browsing their site, I came across the Irresistible Me Sapphire 8 in 1 Curler and I was intrigued. The thought of having one tool that gave me 8 different curls made my heart sing. I have been looking into purchasing a new wand for awhile, but I couldn’t decide on what size. I have contemplated buying more than one, but to buy them individually would cost a small fortune. So, when I came across this bad boy, I knew it was the perfect tool for my needs.
The wand comes with 8 different ceramic, tourmaline infused, interchangeable barrels: 13mm, 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, 18/9mm, 25/13mm, 13/25mm and pearl. Seriously, you will never need to buy another type of curler again after purchasing this baby. So many looks, so little time! The wand heats up super fast, so be careful not to pick it up by the barrel after you turn it on. The wand also comes with a heat resistant glove…use it. I can tell you from experience and burn marks that you should use the glove – especially if you are new to wands. You hold them differently than you would hold a traditional curling iron. The rubber tips on the end of each barrel are a lifesaver for me – my old wand would heat up to the very tip and end up burning me more often than not. Ouch!
The wand heats up to a powerful 450 degrees fahrenheit…which is the heat level I use, since my hair is very thick. Different hair types should start on a lower setting to see what temp works best. For as hot as this wand gets, I did not experience any damage or frizziness. My hair felt just as soft as before I used the wand. As for the curls themselves, they lasted around 3-days on me. But, I have hair that holds curl VERY well so this may be less for other hair types. Irresistible Me claims their curls should last up to two days, which is great for those of us who can’t find the time to curl daily.
But let me be real with you… as much as I LOVE this curler, its not my favorite part of the whole package… it’s the travel bag! I know that sounds silly, but let me explain. The bag that it comes in holds each individual wand barrel along with the wand and the glove. I love this for both traveling purposes and organization. No matter how hard I try to keep all of my curling irons, wands, and straighteners organized, I just cant. The massive amount of cords under my skink is a hot mess. It is bad to wrap the cords around the barrels from what I have heard, so they just end up in a sea of tangles. Not only does this stress me out when I go to grab the one I want, but it gives my oh so OCD husband a heart attack when he looks under the sink as well. All that is now in the past, and I have thrown out my ancient curlers and replaced them with this positively perfect 8 in 1 Curler wand!
I really love this wand – you have so many options for different looks all in one package. The wand retails for $199, which I think is a steal! Other brands on the market that sell a similar product charge over $300 for a 6 in 1. And, like I said before, if you were to go out and buy each size individually, you would be shelling out at least $400. For me, it’s the perfect tool that allows me to continuously change my look…can you tell by my new red ombre?

I need to get this! My hair is extra long also, but it stays in a messy bun of some kind 99% of the time! I am the worst at keeping my hair down all day. The Florida humidity doesn’t help much either, lol! I love the way your curls look! Send me some of your patient vibes! It takes me forever to curl my hair.

It s just like having 8 separate hair curlers, but much more affordable and easy to transport and deposit.
