But even the best-looking curls can fall flat before the end of the day. Usually, this has less to do with your hair curler and more to do with the way you prepare and set your hair.
As a trusted name with over 30 years of experience helping Australians achieve salon results at home, Hairhouse understands that a lasting curl is built on more than heat alone. Whether you’re searching for the best curling wand Australia has to offer or looking to upgrade to a professional-grade tool, these tips will help keep your curls bouncy and beautiful all day.
Why your curls might not be holding
If your hair holds even a tiny bit of moisture when you start, the heat from your hair curler turns it into steam inside each strand. To get the best results, give your locks a thorough blast with a hair dryer before you reach for your wand.
You should always layer in a heat protectant before you begin to shield your strands from high temperatures and the unpredictable Australian climate. Having a reliable store for these essentials makes it effortless to maintain your hair health. Hairhouse stocks a range of heat protectants and styling prep products across over 100+ stores Australia-wide and online to help you find the right match for your hair goals.
Matching your wand to your hair type and length
A smaller barrel that stays under 25mm is perfect for short hair, as it creates more defined curls. For those with long hair, a wider barrel of around 28 to 32mm produces that natural and loose wave that holds beautifully across the length. Fine hair benefits from a lower heat setting to avoid over-processing, while thicker hair needs a slightly higher temperature to properly set the style.
Not sure where to start? It helps to see the options side by side. Hairhouse stocks over 200 professional global brands in-store and online, with its Powered by Professionals curation meaning every tool has been held to the same standard used in salons.
The technique and how to make curls hold
Learning how to use a curling wand effectively comes down to how you let the hair cool. Start by working in small sections about two fingers wide and wrap each one away from your face, beginning at mid-length, to get that effortless salon-finish. Usually, eight to ten seconds per section is all you need.
The most important step is the one most people skip, and that’s the cool-down. Hold each curl in your palm until it’s completely cool before letting go. Once your hair has cooled, run your fingers through gently and finish with a light-hold hairspray misted downward.
If you’d like to see the technique applied to your hair, Hairhouse offers hair consultations in-store. Drop in and ask for a personalised how-to, and the team can walk you through the process and point you toward the right products for your hair type.
