For many years I have styled my hair using curling irons. \u00a0I had the straightest hair around and of course, those of us with straight hair always dream of glorious curls, while those who have naturally beautiful curls try to straighten theirs. \u00a0<\/span>This point always cracks me up. \u00a0It reminds me of that funny classic Dr. Seuss book where the Snitches wish they had stars on their bellies like the others in their community had. \u00a0They paid McMonkey McBean for his machine to transform them into star belly quality so they could look just like them.<\/p>\n Luckily, we don’t have to jump into a machine to change our hair style. \u00a0Nowadays you can create luscious curls without even needing to leave your home. \u00a0Remington sent us some Ultimate Stylist Tools to try out at home. \u00a0Their new teardrop barrel promises to provide your hair with nice waves. \u00a0What is unique about their Ultimate Stylist curling iron is that you can change the barrel with different attachments. \u00a0You can buy the Conical Curling Wand or the Extra Long Curling Iron, both of which will fit on the base of your Ultimate Stylist.<\/p>\n Nowadays, my hair is somehow fuller, perhaps childbirth changed it, I’m not sure. \u00a0So I haven’t used a curling iron except for special occasions. \u00a0So I enlisted the help of a friend of mine, Michelle, to also try out the Ultimate Stylist suite of tools to see what effects she could come up with. \u00a0She uses a curling iron or flat iron every day, so I knew if she liked the Ultimate Stylist, then Remmington really had something.<\/p>\n First off, let me tell you about some of the Ultimate Stylist’s features:<\/p>\n Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n THe Ultimate Stylist comes with the teardrop barrel. \u00a0You can also purchase the wand attachment and extra long barrel attachment. \u00a0We tested all three attachments and found it nice to switch out the barrel dependent upon the effect you want.<\/p>\n The effects of the three attachments are:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Ultimate Stylist heats us amazingly quick. \u00a0It takes only 30 seconds and you’re ready to use the curling iron. \u00a0And let me tell you, this iron gets HOT! \u00a0410 degrees is hotter than any other curling iron I have used. \u00a0You can see the steam coming off your hair after heating it for a few seconds. \u00a0The glove really comes in handy, but even still you need to be careful, you can still burn yourself. \u00a0The glove is really brilliant. \u00a0I wish I had one of these through all my years of curling my hair, it would have saved me from a number of burns.<\/span><\/p>\n The swivel cord is really nice too, it prevents the cord from getting tangled up, especially when you’re trying to reach the harder areas of your hair when curling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Teardrop<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The teardrop iron comes with the original Ultimate Stylist package. \u00a0It’s unique teardrop shape is designed to give a loose curl, more like a wave. \u00a0You can see here, the teardrop gives a much looser curl and makes straight hair full of body. \u00a0The teardrop shape also helps the hair from slipping.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Conical Curling Wand<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The conical attachment creates medium curls. \u00a0These curls are tighter than the teardrop iron. \u00a0Nonetheless, you actually can control how tight or how loose you’d like to make the curl. \u00a0The conical wand is the hardest to use because of its shape, it goes from a fuller point to a narrow point. \u00a0Whether you use it up, down, or sideways, the hair tends to fall towards the slimmest part of the wand. \u00a0The best way we found to use this wand is to point the slimmest part down and hold your hair in place at the widest part of the barrel. \u00a0As you can see, it makes beautiful curls.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Extra Long Curling Iron<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 The extended wand gives the tightest curls. \u00a0It has an extra long 1″ barrel with a clip at the end that keeps the end of your hair in place. \u00a0The extra length really helps if you have longer hair, like my friend Michelle has, and it does well in keeping the tight curl. \u00a0The extended wand was the easiest of the three to use because of its clip that holds your hair as you roll it.<\/p>\n This was my favorite attachment, simply because I used a clamp on my curling iron for years to help hold the ends. \u00a0I’m a bit of a clutz trying to hold on to the hair to wrap around the barrel, that’s why I had so many burns in the past. \u00a0I found a clamp helped keep my hair in place and my hands burn free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Remington Ultimate Stylist curling iron sells for $24.97 at Wamart. \u00a0Both the Conical Curling Wand\u00a0and Extra Long Curling Iron attachment sell for $12.97 each.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"Remington](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/01\/Remington-Ultimate-Stylist-Curling-Iron-17.jpg?resize=389%2C519&ssl=1\")
