Confessions of a Curl-Challenged Girl
Confession: I got my first hair curler at 14. I learned how to curl my own hair at age 22. It wasn’t until I learned how to curl my hair without the clip on my curling iron that my hair really started turning out the way I wanted it. And it wasn’t until last month when I started using Jose Eber’s curling wand that curling my hair became a feasible daily style option.
There are three things I look for in hair products:
1. Effect on my hair. Its true, any kind of heat isn’t awesome for your hair, but some products are far worse than others.
2. Style Achieved/Ease of Use. Does the product achieve the style I’m looking for. With my old curling iron it was possible to get the loose curls I wanted but it was SO hard.
3. Time. This is one of the biggest factors for me. Style is something I want everyday, not just when I happen to have an hour and a half to get ready for an event. If I’m going to invest in a product, I want it to be something that can be incorporated into my daily routine without adding a lot of time.
Given those three things, its obvious why I’ve fallen in love with my newest hair products.
1. The blow dryer uses infrared to reduce the heat necessary to dry my hair which means it comes out silky instead of frizzy. The curling iron has its own temperature guage so I am in complete control of how much heat is coming in contact with my locks.
2. The blow dyer comes with attachments to easily achieve the salon blowout look but its the curling iron that I’m really obsessed with. Without the clip of a regular iron, I can easily wrap hair in sections around the iron to control the look. And, with three different barrel sizes that clip into the base, it is so easy to get different looks with the same product. Yes, you can curl your hair in a similar fashion with a regular iron without using the clip but using a wand like this one is so much easier, faster, and simpler.
3. I cut my curling time in half. I used to spend forty minutes curling my whole head of hair (very seldomly did I ever curl my hair as a result). This morning, I spent about 12 minutes to get the loose waves you see in most of my recent posts. If I spend a few more minutes I can get more polished, controlled curls. Curling my hair is now something that happens regularly, not just on special occasions.
Conclusion: I’m obsessed (and also plan on purchasing all styling products from Jose Eber from now on).

I love the Trio Clipless Curling Iron as well. Having done cosmetology before we used a curling iron with the clip and it took way more time to get clients done! love love love the wand! š
If I never win anything again I will be happy with this one. I would love to have that Trio Clipless Curling Iron. I curl my hair too many different ways to just have a one sized curling iron š
I would choose the 25 mm Clipless Curling Iron!
I've always wanted to try a wand one. I love your curls too…that's how I always want mine to turn out but they never do…
I'm always scared to use a clip less curling iron, I'm sure I'll burn the pads of my fingers off!
That being said, I would love the trio clipless curling iron!
I'd love a curling wand!
i want the same one you have š
Trio Clipless Curling Iron
I would LOVE to get the blow dryer!

I didn't know they made curling irons like that! I just don't use the wand on my curling iron, but one without it would be awesome. That's cool that the blow dryer uses infrared! I never blow dry my hair because it's so bad for it.
I totally agree, time is usually what gets me. I like to sleep in as much as I possibly can before work so my hair usually suffers. š
The wet or dry styling iron puts my little flat iron to shame! I so want that!!
super cute skirt! the pockets did it for me. š
I am also curl challenged, but I think i would pick the Glasstech Flat Iron…my 6 year old flat iron is dying and so I really need a new and improved one! Thanks!
I would love to win the Trio Clipless Curling Iron!

I would love a curling iron, my curls/ waves never last. Maybe this tool is the solution! Xx
I am the most curl-challenged person I know. Well, heat curls anyway (wet styling is effective, but inconvenient and uncontrollable).
I'm not sure which product would be more beneficial…I would benefit greatly from either.
I guess the Trio Iron would be the best, to start. š
I would love the Trio Clipless curling iron!! Mainly because I don't know how each barrel size will work on my hair, and the trio will give me options.
I would love the Trio Clipless Iron. I don't know how larger vs. smaller barrel size will work on my hair, so the trio will keep me covered š
