    https://www.amazon.com/Xtava-Curl-Curling-Wand-Professional/dp/B01M0PHGQ9?ref_=ast_sto_dp/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=genie005-20 Great curling iron! As for me, the ideal diameter for my hair is to create light curls. The whole process takes about 10 - 15 minutes, a pleasure)

    So many looks you can do whatever you want!

    Yohanna 17 Oct 2016 1:29 PM

    I like all of them, but most suitable for me is boho

    maydayismyday 11 Jul 2016 1:28 PM

    I like the glamourous and Boho looks the best (which is kind of a contradiction!)

    The beach waves look so pretty and casual. The I woke up like this look!

    Becstar 9 Jul 2016 10:31 PM

    Love curling my hair! The ghd curve creative curl wand does sound like a styling tool I Iike a lot!

    Linda_Vesinger 9 Jul 2016 3:15 PM

    The glamourous waves look is my favourite, thanks for the helpful guide

    I love these curls especially the beach curls. Great tips on curling. I enjoyed reading this article.

    sunjeanie 8 Jul 2016 6:08 PM

    Love the glamourous and boho waves. Really pretty. I should curl my hair more often.

    MelissaFay89 8 Jul 2016 11:51 AM

    I love curls :) Mine seem to drop quite quickly

    thelifeoflaura 7 Jul 2016 3:45 PM

    if only I could do that well hahaha

    Yohanna 7 Jul 2016 1:25 PM

    My hair could only do boho. And it would suit my egg shaped head hehe

    Yohanna 7 Jul 2016 1:23 PM

    wow! so super pretty! You girls have amazing hair to do these styles. How gorgeous is that copper colour!

    Becstar 7 Jul 2016 1:22 PM

    It looks like it can really give you the desired curls we look for. A great range of GHD products shown. Everyone's hair looks amazing.

    I am so bookmarking this one! I have naturally curly hair but it's unruly and knotty so I have to either curl or straighten, I love all these looks I can't pick a favourite!

    Miss19 7 Jul 2016 12:29 PM

    I love Olivias waves! Those are the type I try to recreate at home

    preciousia 6 May 2016 7:52 PM

    The BH team looks so beautiful in their curls. Love Olivia's curls ....

    Yohanna 7 Jul 2016 1:26 PM

    and the hair colour, just stunning! Coppery shine all over and so thick ^^

    JaneyW 26 Apr 2016 4:48 AM

    I think this is great! You shouldnt have to just accept you cant have curls in your hair because of its texture. Also something that helps me is clip in hair extensions as I find the extension hair tends to hold the curl longer than my own hair. My friend and I always get ours from http://madamehairclipinextensions.com/ They last ages!

    itslinda 5 Apr 2016 8:52 PM

    Beautiful!

    Seezora 4 Apr 2016 10:45 PM

    I love the Glamorous waves the best but my hair is so stubborn, fine and straight it just won't curl. I'm also worried I'd burn my hand.

    sporty_ytl 3 Dec 2015 9:15 PM

    I have been lazy and haven't been curly my hair lately. I will probably go search for my curling tool to start curling my hair again...

    veronicajoycebabaran 7 Nov 2015 1:03 PM

    The Boho waves look gorgeous! So simple but very textured.

    Chicklet 14 Sep 2015 9:48 PM

    I can't curl my hair with tongs no matter how hard I try.

    Tracey799 10 Aug 2015 9:50 PM

    I love the variety of looks!
