So, I recently cut my hair y’all. It’s a big deal for me because for most of my life, my hair has been pretty long and I have always worn it the same way. Despite the amount of braids and buns on my pinterest board, I rarely do anything to my hair other than curl it or straighten it. Except maybe if you count this summer I got adventurous and tied it up in a top knot a lot. I know, I’m really talented in the hair department.
So, when I decided to cut my hair, I scoured my boo, Pinterest, for hours until I settled on a long bob. I loved the pictures of the long bob worn in a lived in look, but I wasn’t quite sure I could pull it off with my lack of hair skills. Thankfully, I have a bomb hair gal (hi Erica!) who gave me the rundown of how to style a lived in look. She showed me the technique with a flat iron which is how I’ve been able to achieve it. Until recently, when this cool little curling wand from Irresistible Me showed up on my doorstep and gave me an all new way to achieve my waves.
Their Sapphire curling wand comes with a base, eight different attachments and a glove so you don’t burn your fingers off. There are different traditional barrels in different sizes as well as tapered barrels and my favorite the pearl wand. The pearl wand intrigued me the most, because until now, I had never heard of one and it’s great for those lived in waves I’m all about right now. Curling wands are perfect for this look because it’s easy to leave the ends undone.
Now, to prove to you how easy this wand is to use, here is a little how to, done by my non hair styling self!
Easy! If I can do it, I know you can do it!

I’m kicking myself for not trying a wand sooner! Thanks Rachelle!
I love your haircut! I cut mine recently too and it is about the same length as yours. The curling wand sounds interesting with all those different attachments. Cheers to the lob!

Isn’t it great! I just love the shorter hair and the shorter drying time that comes with it!
When I was looking at hair inspiration I was thinking about your long bob!
Aw thanks so much!!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad I went with short hair, maybe this year I wont have tangles around my Winter scarf, lol.
Oh heyyy twins!! 🙂
Oh thank you so much Rachel!!
I am in love with the pearl attachment, it’s so fun! I hope you love it too.
Thanks girl!
Aw thank you Shauna!
Thanks girls!!
Thanks so much Zelle!
Thank you!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!!
I love how your waves turned out! I have that curling wand but I’ve been too intimidated to use that attachment. After seeing this I’m going to give it a try though, I love the look of your waves!
I know exactly what you mean! I was worried about cutting my hair short for that reason, so I’m glad I can still get body out of it!
Thanks so much Laura!
🙂 Thanks lady!
Thanks girl!!
Too sweet, thank you!
yay! Thank you!
Thanks so much Susie!
It’s the funniest attachment, I was like I have to try this! lol
I totally agree. When I was taking them out my husband was like “What the heck did you order?!” But hey, whatever it looks like, the waves did turn out great!
Oh thank you so much!
Love this look! Your hair looks amazing. You have such a honest and down to earth blog – so glad to have discovered you 🙂
Thank you for solving the mystery of what the pearl wand is for! I looks like an adult toy haha 😉 You make this look so easy that I’m think I could do it with my disastrous hair skills. Thanks!

Haha that’s exactly what I told my husband, I was like…what does this look like?! Lol
That’s such a sweet compliment! Thank you!
Just beautiful Brooke, I never thought to scrunch my hair up. I need to get a spray for fly aways. Any tips?

Love your shorter hair and love how you’ve styled it. I had the same hair style for the longest time and so glad to have the LOB about a year now.
Thank you for being a part of TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you Thursday.
