Hair Curling Madness: Photos with 7 different curling tools!

Curling my hair is one of my favorite ways to wear it. As a girl who grew up with straight hair, I always wanted the opposite, but of course, haha Curling irons weren't a friend of mine as a child---looking back I always looked like curly Sue or a poodle, but hey at the moment I thought I looked cute :) As a young woman, there are more things within my reach to achieve all sorts of curls and looks and I am so thankful that my hair is fairly easy to curl after all, I RARELY even use hairspray! Here are some of the treasures that I hold in my hair cabinet--some look funky, some are considered "vintage" since they aren't even available for purchase anymore and one is actually something I "made" myself ;) Take a look for yourself and enjoy!

Tools: 

Revlon Deep Waver

Conair 3/4 inch Spiral Curling Iron

25mm NUME Curling Wand

Hot Tools 1 & 3/4 in curling iron. To achieve this curl I used the iron pictured but I took off the clamp on mine making it into a wand :)

Conair Ceramic 1 inch Curling Iron

Curling Products: 

Tresemme Tre-Two Hairspray and Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hairspray

It's A 10 Miracle Leave in Product and Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray

If you have ever seen a photo of me with my hair curled it was most definitely either the Conair Infiniti, NUME Curling wand or my handmade Hot Tools :) I also do my hair pretty often with my Conair Hot Rollers--For photos of me using those be sure to follow me on twitter where I always link all of my impromptu photos ;) @alyseap

Let me know if you all want to see a more detailed post on how I get my "go to" waves. 

Which curling irons/wands/contraptions are your favorites?

I love curls, oh yes I do!

OOTD: Yet Another Graduation BBQ!

These photos were taken very last minute, literally as we were walking out the door, so they were snapped with an iPhone, next time, I will try and have my good camera around so I can get better quality photos of detail, color etc! :)

Here's the Rundown:

Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Dress- Forever 21 (came with belt)
Watch-Michael Kors (the rose gold one that has made MANY appearances in my blog posts ;)
Hair- Curled with a clip-less curling iron and they fell into simple waves :)
Ring-Although you can't really see it here, it is the hot pink crystal bow ring that was also in my other Graduation Party OOTD posted not too long ago, for more up close pics of it, take a look at that post!

This was a very impromptu OOTD, hope you enjoyed! I wanted to keep it simple yet elegant and also remaining outdoor party appropriate :)

Have a Wonderful Day,
