5-in-1 Curling Iron Xtava



I was so excited to review this 5 N 1 Curling iron from Xtava. I have always wanted a tiny curling wand but for some reason or another I just never got me one. With this set instead of one wand I got five including a medium and small clipless wand and a large, medium, and small wand with clips. All in an insulated bag. So it is a perfect travel companion for all you Jet Setters.  It is also the perfect companion for all you beauty lovers that have limited space.





Since there are 5 different wand heads you can have many different looks. As you may or may not know the clipless wands give you different looks depending on the way you hold the wand so that is 4 looks right there with 2 wands.



I bet you can guess what wand I used first right? Of course I pulled out the small wand and started curling.  The parts are so easy to change they just snap into place and take a little twist to keep them there. There is only two settings on and off but that's not a big deal to me.  I put the wand on and it heated up in a few seconds and I was good to go.

With all the excitement I don't think I bothered to freshly brush my hair so please excuse the frizz!  I was so happy with the look I got and I only left the wand in my hair for about 10 seconds so it didn't take long. With a spritz of hair spray I had these adorable curls that STAYED!! That's a big deal for me because with a lot of wands my hair just falls without gel. I had no gel and these curls stayed. I pulled my hair up in a pony tail - it looked really cute with the curls.. My husband said that I didn't - and the curls were still there. I was so impressed because I have tried that look before with no success.


I love this set! I can have beach waves or small curls and everything in between and all I have to store is a small bag. The clip wands open and close very easily and slide through my hair comfortably. 


Xtava has amazing products at great prices. I would expect to pay a lot more than the price listed for this set. The quality of the set is great and it works great. They also have other products so check  them out. If you want to read my review of Xtava Rimni Ionic hair dryer check it out here 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free but the opinion expressed is all mine. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Blue Xtava Rimini 1500 W Ionic Hair Dryer



I hate to blow dry my hair. Even though it's is not very thick it is long so I guess that is why it takes such a long time to blow dry. Normally shower at night then let my hair air dry or I'll try not to wash my hair during the day unless I have a few hours to dry and style my hair.  I have tried  many different hair dryers over they years. Of course some work better than others but none have really sped up the process.

I was excited to review the Rimini 1500 W Ionic Hair Dryer because it is designed to reduce drying time and as an added bonus it reduces frizz for smoother, shinier hair. I have mentioned this before a huge problem with frizz and when I blow dry my hair in a hurry it poofs up really big. If I don't blow dry my hair I lack volume so I need volume but not that much. I need a happy medium.

I had no idea the little attachment that comes with some hair dryers is called a concentration nozzle and is  for precise styling and maximized condensed air flow control to the area you are targeting. I was really happy that the Rimini comes with a customized concentration nozzle because that means the nozzle is made to specifically fit this hair dryer and will fit properly so I don't have to worry about it falling off while in use.

 


This hair dryer has 3 heat levels, 2 power levels, and a  cool shot button. The buttons are easy to switch from one setting to another.  I was very surprised at how light weight it really is. I was holding my hair dryer and then picked up the Rimini and it was a big difference.  That should help stop my hand from getting tired while drying my hair.



The handle is very narrow and easy to hold. Even on low it has a nice wind flow and of course as you increase the setting the heat increases as well. I read that is quiet hair dryer and it is but only on low. Don't get me wrong it's not extremely loud on high but  I had a silent hair dryer.. well of course it was not completely silent.. but it spoiled me none the less because I have never found one that quiet again.

I love that there is a screen on the back to stop my hair from being tangled in the hair dryer. The screen too fits very well and does not wiggle or fall off. But it is removable to make it easier to clean the small amount of junk that may collect in the fan.
