Being such a huge fan of the Enrapture Heated Rollers which I posted about here and have raved about ever since, I was absolutely thrilled when I was very kindly given the opportunity to try out another of the three Enrapture tools- the Amplify Jumbo Waver.
If you read my blog frequently, then I'm sure you will be aware that the majority of the time my hair is straight. Thats how my hair is naturally, but of course, we always want what we haven't got and so I quite often dream of having a wave or curl to my hair.
The Amplify Jumbo Waver is a tool that will help you to create a wavey look- whether you lust for a rocky edgy style, a defined S wave, a beachy boho look or more simply volumised texture. Always striving to get the biggest hair possible, I like to use this tool to get as much volume and texture into my hair as possible.
As you can see from the pictures above, this is quite a huge tool and kind of reminds me of a giant crimper- although fear not, this will not give you the crimped look you may have worn in your childhood! It's made up of Jumbo 25ml barrels, and so when each section of your hair has been heated within the barrels, you are given quite big S shape wave.
It has variable heat settings which go from Low to High starting at 140° for the lowest temperature suitable for fine, thin hair like mine, 180° for medium which is suitable for normal hair and 210° for the highest which is most suitable for coarse hair.
I jumped straight to the hottest, as most people probably would, but please be aware that this is VERY hot, and if you don't need it then I would stay away from it.
On the first try of using this, I burnt my hand, fortunately its healing quite well but it really is so important to be careful with heat tools. Yes, they are a dream but they can be dangerous too, so please be careful!
This Amplify Jumbo Waver is really easy to use once you get used to it and with being quite a big tool- it is pretty quick to use.
It's Titanium, rather than Ceramic which means it is quite friendly to the hair, preventing a snagging finish and it distributes the heat better providing a more even wave.
I section my hair into four, and take quite thick chunks and use this about two times in length.
You will achieve quite a tight S wave on release, I personally don't like that look so I leave it to cool down as I finish the rest of my hair and afterwards make sure it has cooled down to allow it to set, spray a little hairspray on the tight waves and then brush through with either a wide tooth comb or just a paddle brush.
From there, you can play with it a little to achieve the look you want, maybe going over bits a little more.
I tend to backcomb it all a little, I really don't like neat hair on me so I mess it up a little on the way.
The picture above is how I would love my hair to naturally be- big and a little wild. But as I mentioned, this tool can be used for so many different looks.
I think on longer hair, really defined waves would look super nice, to achieve that look, it would be pretty similar but with smaller sections and you wouldn't need to brush it out afterwards.
This product can be used on all types of hair, but in terms of extensions can only be used on 100% Real Human hair.
This normally retails at £74.99 and is available from Selfridges, Next, John Lewis, Boots, Very andArgos but if you're quick I found it quite a bit cheaper in Currys.
For more information and tips, and to see more looks used with this product have a little look on the Enrapture website.
