Am I expecting too much?
I have wavy, coloured hair and can normally easily curl my hair with a regular curling wand and it'll last for days with only some basic hair spray on it on day one (obviously a little messier on days 2-3 but very much still there). Overall, my hair is in very good condition, it's about armpit length.
I purchased the new coanda airwrap after watching what feels like a million videos on YouTube of women with long hair (past chest length) achieve these insane, spiral curl blowouts that they'd claim would last ages.
I've tried following hints and tips like not touching anything until my head is cold, applying product (my hairdresser specifically recommended some items she normally uses for my blowouts in the salon - she does these with a regular round brush and hair dryer and would last a week if I didn't need to wash the roots). However, the style will not stay and some areas won't curl at all (just makes some sad weird S shape). I've experimented with more wet, less wet, more product, less product, brushing through with a wide comb Vs fingers... Has anyone else had this much trouble? Is my hair 'too' healthy (most of the videos were women with heavily bleached hair)? Am I expecting something this product isn't capable of? Any tips welcome.
