Styler for Curly Hair: Lift, Direct & Add Volume To Curls

This is a pretty specific hair styling tool. It helps you lift your roots when blow drying without getting stuck in your hair or pulling out your curls when you remove the tool. Lifting and volumizing your roots is The only thing advertised and mentioned in the instructions. However, I've seen videos of people using this to create their curl coils before diffusing. I haven't tried that yet.

I saw this on FB so checked Amazon and was glad they had it. I love this tool. By now there may be dupes but a few weeks ago it was the only one out there. It’s a bit pricey but SO worth it. I have curly hair and flatness on the crown was always a problem. Not now! I consistently get nice root lift. I only need it on wash day. I’ve recommended it to several friends who also love it. This works way better than clipping my roots and it’s quicker as well. The learning curve was easy. I highly recommend this tool.

I saw the AuBonacci Styler on Instagram and was immediately intrigued. I have long, fine, wavy hair that tends to go flat on top, so this Styler appeared to be THE THING I was looking for. Because of the high price, I was hesitant, so I read the reviews and thought about it for a few days before placing my order. I’ve been using the Styler for a few weeks now, and I have no regrets. It has taken a little getting used to, but I do like that I can curl hair on top of my head, like I would with a round brush or curling iron, yet pull the Styler out quickly and easily without unraveling the curl. I use it with my blow dryer on warm heat with a diffuser, and then I give the curl a cool shot with the dryer before I remove the Styler. Because my hair is fine, it requires gel or mousse to really work well. Even with that, I wouldn’t say my hair stays curly after using the Styler, but it does have more lift and volume. I’m very happy with its performance. It works especially well for taming a pesky cowlick I have at the back-top of my head. The only thing I don’t like is that the Styler rolls easily when I set it down. Every time I put it on my vanity, it rolls into the sink or onto the floor, and that’s annoying. I’m also afraid it will break. I keep a folded washcloth on the vanity to set the Styler on when I’m not using it, and that prevents it from rolling away. I still think the $55 price tag (plus shipping) is at least $30 too high, but I haven’t seen anything else like this on the market. I guess this is the price we pay for curly hair innovation.

Love it! Not crazy about the price though. There are others out there that would do the same thing for half the price.

Not a Useful Tool

I have to say this works great. As a curly girl used to put clips at the roots when defusing my hair. This works better. I let my hair air dry a few minutes and then slide this horizontally along the top of my head and put diffuser on top of the tool for 20 seconds Instant lift.

Didn’t work for me. Doesn’t last. My hair is thick and wavy and the top goes flat. This provided a lift at first that disappeared without hairspray to hold it.

It took me a few looks to convince myself to purchase this but I'm so glad I did. It really does give tons of lift to the top of my head where my fine hair curls drop flat. Using a bit of gel along with a diffuser (low setting, warm heat) keeps the lift until my next wash day which could be three days later or more. It's so much quicker thank the clip method I'd been using for years. The styler material is really strong - some type of plastic resin. I've dropped it on the floor a few times, even on tile, and no damage. The prongs slide right in to my hair and it's super easy to remove the styler without pulling out any curl. I've dramatically cut down on the number of tools I need to travel to do my hair since using this too; just the styler and and small teasing brush for my bangs. Bonus - after meeting the inventor of the AuBonacci styler a year after I'd been successfully using it, she shared that they also have curly hair products (shampoo, conditioner, styling cream, UV protectant, gel, and finishing spray). Who knew??!! Tried them and love them too. The poo/condish and stylers smell awesome and held my curls without frizzing even in the hot humid Florida summer weather. My new go-to curly girl hair routine. Try it; you won't be sorry. If you don't love it, they have a money back guarantee so there's nothing to lose.

Easy to use.

A great tool for training curls. I have been transitioning from blow waving my hair everyday to going naturally curly. I’m growing my fringe/bangs out and this product is a great tool to have. Watch the videos a few times, really grasp how it is meant to be used, experiment lots and you won’t be disappointed. It takes a bit to get the hang of. I use it to wet set my fringe after a swim at the pool and it’s really helped me embrace my curls. The knockoff product's can be good ….. but sometimes just don’t work as well.

Of all the different tricks for curly hair that I’ve been seeing over the past couple of years, this is BY FAR the best! I hate frizzy curls and it’s always a battle to style the curls on top without creating frizz. This tool was like magic. Keep your Dyson. Keep your various other hair dryers and curling irons, THIS is the tool you need.

Fake product. Received a hair dryer attachment in box.

For close to $100, I thought this would at least have metal or ceramic prongs, but the whole thing is made of plastic. WAY overpriced for a simple plastic wand.
