The Best Hair Tool If You Want To Look Like A Mermaid While Making Almost Zero Effort
The Best Hair Tool If You Want To Look Like A Mermaid While Making Almost Zero Effort
WHAT: Bondi Boost Wave Wand (32mm)
WHY: The number of hair tools that assault our eyeballs on Instagram is verging on criminal.
They all make the same impossible claims about “ease” and “time” and then we get them home, hold their burning handles above our heads exactly once, realize we have zero spatial awareness or ability, and accept a life of frizz.
Which is why we want to kiss the inventor of Bondi Boost right on the mouth. Maybe after COVID is over though. Ok maybe just a handshake even then. Fine, just a text with the kissy emoji from across the globe but STILL. The brain that realized there are some of us out here who cannot figure out how to make our flatirons create “beachy waves” is a brain we want to know.
You ready for this? You simply CLAMP the three extra large barrels down big chunks of your hair. No turning. No wrapping. No twisting. Blessedly, no burning.
And the even better news is that once you wide-crimp all of your hair into a mermaid (which takes around 20 minutes for your whole head depending on your hair length), these waves last days. And days. And days. We tried it product free and it topped out around four days. But we also tried it with our favorite lazy-person hair balm and we could get a full week out of it.
We have a small quibble about the location of the power button because it’s easy to turn it off while you’re using the tool, but once we got the hang of it, it was fine. It also comes with a heat-resistant glove if you’re especially accident prone. Though the shape of the tool is so easy we didn’t need it.
Throw in some huge chunks of hair for a big bend, or section your hair out for a more wavy crimp. Don’t be scared of the word “crimp,” though. It’s not like the crimpers of our youth that we singed our hair with before prancing around the mall.
Though if we inhale deep enough, we can still smell the Cinnabon wafting from its kiosk, after selecting the most gorgeous floral print dress from Contempo Casuals.
