I remember the days when I hated doing my hair... true story. I wouldn't grabbed a blow dryer, wand, curling iron or flat iron for the life of me. As a matter or fact, I didn't own a flat iron until 3 months when my cousins gave me one for Christmas because I had added that to out family secret santa wish list!
My 30's are teaching me so many things and one of those things... girl tame your mane! I love long luscious hair.... I always have, I actually cut my hair a few years ago and hated it. So long hair for the win! So for the past 2 years I've managed to curl my hair in 20 minutes or less. And I say less because girl... there are times when I only curl the top layer or the front if I am running late!
The easiest way to curl long hair has been to use the Remington Wand. I bought it at Walmart about 3 years ago and I love it. It was just about $20-$25 (I can't remember) and I've never looked back. I have the 1.5" and I recommend it 100%.
Normally I curl my hair on the second day after I wash it. I wash my hair twice a week.
So I start with dry shampoo at the roots and then part my hair in two. I start from the back to the front by grabbing 2" thick chunks. I curl the hair around the wand towards the back and hold it for about 15 seconds. I do this all around to the front and then the other side. The key for me since my hair is so long is to hold the hair tight against the wand once I have it all wrapped around it. When you let go of the curl don't tease it or even touch it. It will be super curly at the beginning but that's ok because once you are done with your entire head of hair then you will spray some volumizer and hair spray to keep your locks in place and add volume. I use Living Proof's Volume Blast. That's when you can go in with a soft brush or comb or even your fingers to loosen up the curls a but and get that effortless soft wave look in no time.

That's it babes! It takes me seriously no time and I love that my hair looks even better the next day. Just be sure to add a soft hairspray. Below are the 4 hair products I am currently using:
