Take a small, even strand of hair to begin (if you want loose waves or curls, use a larger section of hair). For extra volume, place the base of the iron near the root of your hair, handle side up and tip facing downward. Starting at the base, begin winding your hair around the barrel. Keep your hair wrapped around the barrel for 5 to 10 seconds. Release hair, letting the curl slide out from around the iron. For optimal hold, let the curl cool in the palm of your hand for 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat on remaining hair until desired style is achieved. Use attached wand stand when resting hot curling wand on any surface.
