TSV hair curler thingy

I would think you could get the Nellie Olson curls with an old fashioned regular curling iron for about $10. Right? or no?

For me?

NO! Over the years, I have purchased a ton of irons from less to $$.

NONE have worked like the Beachwaver. I have all three sizes and a backup. I purchased it the very first time they were presented years ago, and it is still working like a champ.

I can go from tighter curls to loose beachy waves.

These have never damaged my hair like other brands. My curls/waves last til I wash them out. I am, clearly, a huge fan of this tool.

I have the Beachwaver, and have not had much success with it.

I bought one when it first came out on the Q. But mine lasted about a year then something went wrong with the heat control...it would just stay really, really hot and I couldn't turn it down. So I threw it out. But it was nice while it lasted.

@tends2dogs

When I first purchased it years ago, to my shoulders.

Currently, it is way down my back.

Long layers.

I would never have the time or patience to use this thing. Anyone old enough to remember finger curls your moms did? I think pin curls is another term for it. My mom did these on barely damp hair and when she let them go they looked like these. I think a regular curling iron could easily do this.

My guess is a curling iron takes a lot of work but being this waver "thingy" does a lot of the work for you. It's easier to put the end in place and push a button and let the thingy do it's job. From what the vendor said, many salon owner/stylists have switched to using them because they claim it's quicker and less work on the wrists.

no ✔

My hair is long, it's textured, it's heavy, and there's no way I could do this with "an old fashioned regular curling iron".

To top that, I now qualify for a shoulder replacement. Meaning a device that holds and evenly rotates a section of hair, giving a uniform finish, would be well worth it.

I don't care for the straight end of the curl, but I guess it's possible to clamp the section of hair at the very end. Also, does anyone know why this look is referred to as beachy? At the beach, my naturally straight hair stays straight. Just wondering.

Seems like doing the back is tricky.

Thanks for your review . I ordered two different sizes . Am going to give it a try . I'll probably have my Hubby help me . I usually go to the salon to have a beach wave blow out for special occassions.
