i'm in the process of growing my hair and getting frustrated. so i've bought a curling wand in the hope that it would give me more options but i'm not sure how to do it.

my hair is between chin and shoulder length at the moment. will it work with practise or do i need to wait a bit longer?

I think go for it. Though I do have to use plasters on my winding fingers, as I burn my fingertips.

Definitely :) I actually find that my hair holds curls better when it is shorter

Mine's the same length (and seems to be stuck there!) and I've just bought a Diva pro beach wave (I think that's what it was called) and the effect is really nice (although it dries my hair out horribly which is disappointing, so am really restricting use). It seems to be a good length to get curls/waves to hold. I'd give your wand a go. Bet it will be lovely.

I have a curly shoulder length bob . I use a curling tong just to help the bits that get a bit out of control . I can twist it round quite a few times so plenty of hair . That beach wave thing looks good though .

I mistakingly read the title without the word 'length' in it Grin

Sorry, I'm useless with my hair, no help!
