Hairstylist Tests Hair Wavers... Worth The $$$ Yes Or No?? - Kayley Melissa

Everyone Kaleigh your friendly neighborhood hairstylist here and today we're trying out deep wavers for the hair. That'S three different price points: low, medium and high. Let'S see how it goes so, as per usual, I've been stocking, hair Instagram and I feel like everybody's using these deep flavors, and this is gon na, be the texture for summer 2020, and I want to know whether it makes a difference whether you buy a cheap, Deep waver or an expensive one, because if you're trying to try out a trend, usually in fashion, you hit up forever21 fashion, Nova, she and like all that kind of stuff cuz you don't want to spend money, does that apply to hair? I want to find out and of course in this effort, I'm going to bring in my sister Anna Laura for that big long, hair action, we're calling it big because look at her hair today we have something coming out: you're gon na see what did this to Her hair and what did this to mine cuz? This is not heat sales at all anyway, so I actually have been trying out one of these deep wavers for a few weeks now and I feel like I've gotten some tips and tricks under my belt with how I like to use it. You have never touched one of the I have not, and I've been watching you like practice it. It looks so easy when you do it, but I feel like this is gon na, be one of those expectation versus reality, things maybe let's get into it. Alright. So the one that I started with came in PR. This is from Bondi boost it's an Australian based company. This is, I believe, ceramic and basically all of them. Are this like to barrel thing here, one here and then it's got the clips on either side. So your hair goes in basically like a giant crimper and this one retails for about $ 60, and so I also have one that Amica sent me which retails for around $ 100. So I want to see obviously how that does and then I went on Amazon and basically like 50 different Amazon sellers are selling this same like Aliexpress waver, so you can actually buy cheap waivers in different barrel sizes. I tried to buy these in all the same. This has got ta, be smaller, oh yeah. Actually, it does have to be smaller, so the smaller the barrels on these guys, the tighter your waves are gon na be, and I think the really key thing: here's that we're trying to stay away from 2004 waiver right and enter 2020, and I think one of The ways of doing that is to stay a little, looser. Okay, so we'll see, I think, it'll be really interesting to see if, like the price point, plays a big difference in the weird length of it's like the cheaper, you go with the curling iron, the less hold you get, so this should be interesting. Okay, so our criteria are going to be heat up time, ease of use, immediate results and long-term results, long term being like a couple hours, yeah, okay, so the way this is gon na go because normally we do two against each other cuz. That way, we can do one side in the one side, we're gon na test all three and then we're gon na choose our players, so this is basically like from fantasy suites to final two all right. Well, let's give it a try. I already have heat protectant in my hair. You have you protected in your hair, all right, I'm turning on the bun, I think how long it takes to heat up all day is in Celsius, but I do 160 or 180 Celsius typically. So that's what we're waiting for it to heat up to dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun, okay, almost exactly a minute 103! So this one much smaller! So that's definitely like sheet metal, real sheet metal, whoa yeah, the middle one is much hotter than the outside ones. Whoa this is such an experience. Okay! Well now that we've pulled them all out, the Bondi boost is actually much bigger, which means it's gon na be a looser wave. So that's gon na be the key point of difference. Given I was trying to match this, I think this is probably gon na be one of the only ones on the market. That'S this size. I think this is actually smaller than the Amazon one. All right. Actually, the Bondi boost one is gon na, be the fastest one. Yes, 104, so just by like one second all right. Well, we did the touch test, which we don't recommend that you do at home about the same. So much sturdier. If we're talking real tea, cheap plastic really, like here really heavy here squeaky this glide, pretty it's still plastic, but it's weightier it's true and then hopefully you're paying for the internal electronics as well. They can have technology. That'S constantly reading the temperature, that's regulating the temperature! That'S keeping it accurate to what's on the dial, whereas if you have a cheaper thing, that's one of the things that's really easy to skimp on is the technology and then obviously like the quality of the materials, the quality of. What'S actually going on your hair, that's the other things that kind of contribute to the cost factor. Alright. So for me, I have to section off the middle portion of my hair because crimping this is a joke. Let'S set a baseline expectation, let's try the middle of the road first, so I'll show you guys, even though I already know how this works, but I can remind myself yeah open yeah close you let it sit for like a couple 1000s open it and there's your Texture, Wow yeah and then, if you want, you can like match this up and you can close it again see when it's short, it's a little hard right. I just try to get a little bit in it and then call it a day. So what I'm noticing is that my hair took the shape really well, I'm noticing that my hair looks shinier after having been put on it, and it was obviously really easy to use all right so now, you're turning and I'm just gon na step a little bit. This way, so here's one thing that I learned already: if you could do it like this, it actually creates a crease. Oh, so you wan na yeah. You want to make sure that the hair is going in flat and then curving into everything else. All right. It'S not as deep as it was online. I did take a slimmer section and my hair is finer girl. If I took any smaller, it would take me three hours to do my hair, that's good to know like for fine hair. That worked just fine for me, and I can do this in like 15 minutes, but you're right. That would take an hour. Let'S see how this goes. Okay, I feel, like it looks less sleek and like look at how smooth and shiny this one is versus this side happen. Oh the handle sitting hot the classic tool, yeah Bondi booths handle actually gets hot. I have to say that this is going to take me. Five ever well, I think this one took better on you than the bond day. One did yeah, which is funny. I love the bond guy one, but I think maybe because your hair is a thicker than mine right and longer it might not be the one for you. So I'm a good time yeah all right, Amica, let's see what you can do, oh yeah. It took much better and it's much prettier yeah. So let me let down Bondi and show you guys, so we've got this one, which is like definitely wavy this one, which is a lot less wavy. I think Bondi is a little shinier and this one's a lot more textured the experience putting that one in was so much nicer, it's a more like soft ceramic, so the hair, just kind of like nestled into place a lot easier. Let'S see what you think I like this a lot all right. Let me see the two they're different, but also very similar, so now that we've tried them. I say we compare the expensive one versus the cheapest one wow. This feels so cheap picking it out, because these have the same barrel size. So they're gon na be the clearest comparison and we can show you guys the Bondi boost results later you want to start with high I'll start with low sure I am gon na keep a side part, because I think I would look actually crazy with this texture. In the middle part, I agree because I got the short hair it would poof out and I'd just be like a broom, I'm gon na go ahead and section off the back and get this one sight out of the way. So now I think, while we use these, let's get into the tips and tricks. Okay. So first thing you know what I notice this one has the clamp going down on the outside. This one has them going up on the outside. So that means that for this one, to avoid a crease, we're gon na hold it this way, so that the hair goes straight on to it and then does this and for you, you're gon na hold it more down. So the hair goes straight on to it and then does this next up of the day. So if you're watching this, I assume that you want to buy one of these and create this texture on your hair. So let me educate you on how to do that. No matter which one you buy. First of all, you want to be taking a horizontal and slim sections. So like little rectangles like this across your head, you don't want to be picking up like a whole like chunk of hair and putting it on because then it's not gon na evenly get the heat and you're not gon na get a nice even wave out of It you're gon na feel like you're, not letting down a lot of hair at once, but you're. Also not gon na do a lot of sections per Harry you lay down. Can I point out that this smaller barrel is so much easier to use on my short pieces, because the whole thing is shorter, with the Bondi boost one it's so wide? I can't get all of this section of my hair on it. So I really appreciate that. I'M able to do that with this one. You have short hair for the bottom section. You know it doesn't need to be pretty. It just needs to be something all right. I'M gon na illustrate sections I'm gon na drop down. So I have this much. I'M gon na take my finger in a straight line and drop down, basically another inch okay. So I just let down this section and normally I'm used to letting down a section, and then you have to curl like three or four pieces from it with this kind of hot tool. It'S better to let down one section and only need to do like this. One piece, and that way you get really good even result takes about the same amount of time. It'S just more sectioning. So here you go. This is the size that I'm taking and do my best to get in here, but you also don't have to be precise, which is nice because uh it's real hard to do. I'M not gon na want to use that cheap one after this Wow yeah. You look like you're swimming through that I am that was so fast. Another thing you can do if you don't want the flip out like that, and this is the length of hair. You flip your iron over like this and now the end of the hair is going in instead of out see now it's under, and it looks much better and now another section. The next fun trick is that you can put this in diagonally and set it straight up and down. I think that's probably gon na happen, naturally for most people, because your arms get sore. I just created my first trick. What'S your first trick, ceci, I was really annoyed at how these ends were coming out. Doh I do all of my clamps and then at the end I just win it out. Oh other thing, if it comes with a glove like the Amika does use the glove. I'M pretty fearless when it comes to burning myself, but I have almost petrified my entire hand like multiple times learning how to use this thing. So it's long hair, it's not as treacherous. Oh also. I think I need to call this out. Cuz he's gon na be a buddy for a little while see this guy this little band-aid. I was cooking and I got boiling cooking oil like this on my finger, so I think for the next few weeks you guys will see this guy. Just my little buddy light it out. She taught me a thing you're. Looking a little like a mermaid last section for me seeing your results, I would definitely start taking just like little sections and do them like really different. You don't need to redo a hundred percent of it. You just need twenty percent of it to look totally different. Okay, how's it going good that made a difference, though I do too all right here we go so I'm going from thirty dollars to a hundred dollars. You'Re going from 130, that's a lot hotter whoo-hoo! Oh there's a difference! Oh crap! I don't want to do it. Do it moment of silence for Anna Laura I'm just gon na wait. I just want to see her reaction. Oh it's weight. Afraid they'd seen rage Kaylee its cypher Raige Anna Laura. Well, it's so much easier. I thought it was user error on the first side not to blame my tools but doing a lot better on this side. Great love that for you, I'm testing redoing, a piece that I didn't like now and that stills not making my hair happy today with a little bit of moisture. That is the Amika dry conditioner, because a lot of times once you've heat styled hair to capacity. Then any it's a bit more moisture to retake a curl she's, still a little mad, but she's much better. So how are you feeling how's it going? I don't talk about it. Alright, next one I'm going so much faster on the other side. I would have done this entire section in order turned out great I'm going to split it in half, because the sides us because this iron is really efficient. I am being a lot more purposeful to mix up the way that I'm putting the iron in okay. Well, we've got it all in now the amico one so much easier to use yeah the early, but I kind of like the looser side better. I like it being not quite as creepy like. I feel like this one ended up very defined yeah yeah. I don't know what to say, I think initially, I like the cheaper one better on the first round, so it's really good that we're gon na do the wear test, because I feel like that's where the difference usually is so I think that's gon na be that Does work there for that one? I think this one. Maybe if we just did some things differently, we could get a little a little looser result. So maybe when we tried the Bondi boost one, we can try. Looser sections are bigger sections and see if we can get a loose weight, you can try around two of them. Make oh yeah yeah sounds good, but now I think we need products. I think you need some shine and some definition. So I must say and he's the glass action from Amica and I want a little bit more texture and definition, because my texture is gon na fall throughout the day, even though right now, this is about the amount that I want to walk around with I'm gon Na use, first of all, the crispiness dry working texture spray. We know I love and that's just going in at my roots and then for you, for definition, I'm gon na say maybe the tiniest amount of this scrunched in then I'm adding out the igk down and out dirty spray. This is my beach texture, texturizer of choice. Just adds a little bit of definition and wave and grit without ever being too much we're making my hair fall. Haha I'm wearing platform heels great a big day. We went out in public like this. With the same thing, I changed, so we didn't have the same shirt color on that would have been a lot also. This is from a thrift store. This is definitely not real. We need allies at a flea market. Also when we were out, I don't know. If we're like, if this is just like our texture or what but like man, did we get hit on that was crazy? Was it the hair, it must have been? I mean we're, not looking. Well, I'm still just a scared potato when people try to flirt with me back to the actual point at hand, so I don't feel like my curls fell at all as they did. They fell the exact same. They did cuz. I can still tell the defined and the wave yeah both of our hairs. I thought this is where this little guy was gon na fail. It'S surprising how well it stayed, and it's surprising how similar these two are. I will say I think site on both of us is a little frizzy, er yeah, who fear. I don't hate it, but it is like fluffier. But the thing is this one $ 70 more expensive than that one. As far as appearance goes, I don't know if appearance wise, it's $ 70, better, I'm just saying also these are cold. Obviously, when you're using it, it's a little bit more of a $ 70 different yeah like using it. This one is like a sports car versus like a Toyota Corolla, I can say, because I owned a Corolla for like five years. I think you could get so far like the cheapest one. Honestly, surprisingly, good the results are surprisingly similar. It'S just the process and if you're, a patient human who likes to save money, that ain't gon na make a difference for you. If you do have a whole lot of hair, you have the extra money to spend, or you see yourself using this a lot. I think this one is worth better. I will reach for this one more all right. So then we have Vonda boost still to try. This one is right in the middle and only $ 30 more. So this is what we're gon na come back and try and see how it does we're. Also gon na see if we can get a looser result with this one, because that is my biggest con against this and my biggest deterrent from using it again, because I would prefer about 30 % looser than I have right now. I'M really excited to see the difference of like the bigger barrels on my longer hair like on yours. I think it definitely takes it from like crimping to like just a subtle waves, yeah yeah next time, we'll be back a little test, ease, hey guys, guess what is they do? I was trying this stuff out we're gon na go for some looser waves. Today. Guess what happened over the weekend? You got 5 miles. I tried to give myself fresh nails and we're just gon na ignore them. It really tried to do normal nails with a gel coat and what had happened was I got in the shower and the gel came off the top and the normal nail polish stayed gunky, and now I have water, marble nails, they're, not the good kind, what it Actually did this weekend was I braided my hair after I shower? Oh, I woke up. It already looks kind of cool with just the braided texture, and then I used the different crimpers to try out how they oh wow, okay, the phone natural curls. We did for fancy programs. I was that I did find that it was a lot easier to only do a couple of pieces, because it's a lot closer to what your actual texture is when you took the hair out, so it is actually better for that specific method. One thing that was fun that happened. Would you like to try to turn on that pink waver? I did try each and every one of them I found the Bondi boost was a little bit too wide for the braids that I did on my hair and the Amika one worked really well. I went to try the pink one and it got all the way up to 180 degrees and was still cold. The second time that I tried to use it. We have that on tape, roll that clip nothing's happening yep, the temperature is climbing and nothing is happening. Oh well, no, it's actually getting hot. Actually, no, it says it's a hundred and thirty degrees Celsius, and I can do that. It'S like shorting out it's for sure, like it's also making a weird noise. Well, anyway, I enjoyed that method. I want to keep playing around with it because I felt like I did my braids. It was a little too tight a little too foofy when I took it out, so I'm gon na loosen them next time, but it did work and I think it works better. With the waiver than it does with the curling iron, if you only want to touch up a couple, a piece of Wow, you heard it here, folks all right cool. Well today, maybe you should start with the bomb guy cuz that one's you're just using it exactly as is, and I'm gon na play wrong with the Amika and see if I can figure out, get some tips and tricks yeah all right. So currently we just started social distancing, I'm hoping that's going well. I hope everybody is well everybody's, taking care of themselves and I'm excited about it. My introvert heart has been made for this. I'Ve been preparing my entire life for this moment. I, on the other hand, I'm not very excited about this. Just up the news of not being able to like go out and see my friends, I'm like we are very, very lucky that we get to continue working exactly as normal. I mean a little different. Our brand partnerships have really slowed and paused, but as far as making content for YouTube, yeah definitely slowed down just because everybody's, like not in the office and I'm busy washing my hands right now. If, on the other hand, you're watching this and we're still social distancing, you know consider putting a mask in your hair, maybe trying a new hairstyle that you've been afraid to wear around cuz. You don't know how it will work on you. I like this. This isn't much cooler, vibe mmm-hmm, I'm having a hard time making this. Well, it's a smaller iron yeah, it's really small, there's only so much you can do a maybe if you like, clamp and slide actually a good idea. Your little clamp and krycek actually did work. Really well with the jewels, we just love that joke around here, all right, how's that do. I need to know. I like that lock, so I'm gon na put in some dry texturizing spray ah saved it. Not only is this friends, this is the Pottery Barn, ex-friends collab, for the 20th anniversary that may have been the most excited you have ever been for a PR attack. I don't know how I got on that PR list, but I almost cried because it was all this friend. It was two different friends: mugs. It was a friend hello. They gave me a gift card to get other friends March. I mean she's still not over it. I'M still not over it for the rest of my life. I won't be over it that little fellow sitting upstairs I love it. I swear. I was not like skipping things and doing a bad job, but it really looks like I was, and that is getting annoying pup, sir. Oh no, you won't like her when she's pups up crying my hair off for you bond. I boost give me some waves. Litter layers went down that entire piece. It'S I say, give it a break and continue. You seem a little pup set. Oh yeah, I just like. I really don't like spending time on things and then them looking like. I didn't. Do anything I understand the pup setarrif for sure alright? Well, let me try over here. This is really stressful to use on the bottom layers of your hair. I, like that, oh hey! Well, I like the bond I signed on me better yeah. My hair looks like I didn't even touch it on the other side, so yeah, a tip that I forgot to give last time, is that when you do move down a section, you want to make sure that you're not accidentally like resting and like pulling this hair Back straight cuz, you're gon na pull the wave back out of it. That'S how that works! Physics actually important for gals of long hair, yeah, cuz, you're gon na, have to clip and move multiple times where it's like me. I don't even know if I did more than once on most of my pieces and swish okay. So officially I think I really like the Bondi boost as far as like the big loose wave goes. Not a fan of this I mean, I wouldn't say I'm not a fan of it. I think I'm just more of a fan of this barrel, size yeah, whatever size. That is, I want the Amika everything in the Bondi side, yes, okay, so that is all of it in use. You have now seen everything used on our hair. You'Ve seen a half in half you've, seen braids and crib, so you've seen all the stuff, let's break it down and pick our favorites okay. So the $ 30 one. Let'S talk about it before it's shorted out and obviously didn't work anymore yeah. So if we got one that continued to work, it actually did work fairly. Well, it was cantankerous. You have to be a lot more careful with it. The heat was uneven, like it's cheaper, it's kind of like a forever 21 shirt versus like a higher like a well-made shirt like you, can only wash it twice yeah, it's gon na fall apart. It might be see-through, but it gives you the trend. This hair is going to be a trend for the summer, so I think potentially one of these could last all summer. Ours didn't, but maybe if this is something that you're like. I don't really want to use this that much, but I wanted a few times then sure yeah, I'm sorry if it stops working at the second use. You know Amazon has a really great return policy, so utilize that if you need to all right moving on to bondi bondi was interesting in that it was the middle of the price range and it was so much larger. So the results it gave were patently different than the other two better light: a separate yeah. It has worked multiple times compared to the Amazon one. So if you like the loose - and you have 30 dollars more to spend, I would do the Bondi yeah overall really liked that one gon na keep using it. It'S been my favourite on my hair, for, like a day to day. I know I was like having a hard time with it, but especially when you told me that about dragging it and keeping the tension, not in the part that I had already curled, it worked so much better. So I rescind all of my negative thoughts towards it. I really do like the size of these waves a lot better than tight crimp. Just on me personally, I'm gon na buy my own. Then we move on to amico. I think else got close to touching the quality of this one. It'S even heat the heat stays even throughout the handle doesn't get hot, hey, glides, really easily the hair doesn't catch. On anything I mean it is the easiest of use by far, and it is $ 70 easier to use than the pink one. Absolutely my only kind of con, for it is that it is that tighter wave, which I can rock on my shorter hair and I did enjoy for a couple days. I mean it's kind of hard for me because, as far as quality goes a plus plus close plus ten times, if you like the deep wave, look, a plus plus plus with plus and recommend wholeheartedly it just comes down to do you want the deep wave or Do you want the loose wave right and that's entirely up to each and every one of you right? So I would say for me my two favorites are this hundred dollar one versus the bog light boost, which is at $ 60, would use the $ 60 more. Just because of my personal preference, so all right, so the question I asked at the beginning of the thing: is it worth it to she inside the curling iron situation? Yes, you just have to go into it with the same expectations as you do with she and romwe and forever 21, and then, if you want to make a commitment to your hair, styling wardrobe and pick a thing that will last for seasons and seasons and seasons, Spending more money is the way to go just like with clothes, and so it really just depends on what you're looking for at the end of the day, I'd love to hear in the comments which one do you think fits you the best and would you buy It I want to know, I think, that's it all right, I'm real happy with this video.
