A curling wand is useful when I want to add more defined waves or curls. I like changing the direction and size of the sections depending on whether I want a polished or more relaxed finish.

A flat iron is one of those versatile tools that can do more than just straighten hair. I like using it for smoothing, creating subtle bends, or giving the ends a more polished look.
