Curling wands/tongs/something else

I am absolutely rubbish at doing my hair, I mean really rubbish, I can straighten it, put it in a ponytail and a bun and that's literally it Blush

I have a big ish night out tomorrow and I'd really like loose curls/wavy hair so I have hoping you might be able to suggest something that is SUPER EASY TO USE to create this (and preferably available on Amazon prime!!)

My hair is the sort that is not curly, not straight, can go a bit frizzy but behaves reasonably well if that's relevant!

ghds work like a charm for 'casual' loose waves as well as for more of a classic hollywood wave. Supposedly, they also double as straighteners ... Grin

I tried and failed with my GHD's even after watching loads of online tutorials!! Anything even easier?!

Those funny looking Babyliss things that pull the hair in automatically might work. Results are not quite as nice but they produce decent enough curls.

Curl secret, I think.

Heated rollers. Old school ones like they had in the 70s.

Can put them in in five mins and then just leave them as long as you like. Job's a good 'un.

I have loads of tongs, ghds, plus a weird shellfish thing that was supposed to brill but nothing is half a good as babyliss heated rollers.

Curling wand is super easy though do wear the heat proof glove. Literally hold it with the hot bit pointing downwards, wrap hair, count to 10 or whatever and let the hair slide off.

I also use straighteners to curl but this can be more tricky and you may end up with a very non uniform look until you've mastered it (and even then one side may always be better than the other due to your own hand placement)

I have the mark Hill pick and mix wand and the medium barrel attachment. It's not very expensive and works very well with no fuss.
