What the bloody hell is this

Just opened a new set of fat-barrelled curling tongs as my last one (bought two decades ago) was sadly smashed when I dropped in on a hard hotel floor during the week. I bought the Remington 32mm Hydraluxe wand.

it’s just that - a wand. You hold it on the barrel - there is no clip (but they provide you with a ‘heat-proof’ glove. Reader; it is not heat-proof.

It’s crap. And I know it’s my own fault for not interrogating the packaging too much but I don’t know this was a thing. Why no clip? How does the hair actually wrap around the barrel enough to give you a curl? What am I missing? Or am I just 100000000 years old now?

You are totally not unreasonable! I hate that design, I want a clip and no need to faff around with touching it.

I was intrigued and found this, I guess you need long hair 🤔

I guess that’s it but what a PITA. Such a degrade in the design.
