Fashion Friday: Remington Launches the Wrap to Waves Styler #StyleSchool

Last weekend, I had the chance to check out Remington’s new Wrap to Waves Styler at Style School in New York City.  Love this new tool that makes it easy to turn your straight hair into a mane of fabulous curls.

Designed to give you faster styling with the double barrel shape (you weave your hair in a figure eight style and can get a big lock of hair in one turn), the Wrap to Waves makes styling your hair on the go quick and easy — two qualities that are must-haves for Moms who are always in a rush!

My 13-year-old niece was a big fan of it too.  Here’s a picture of her hair being wrapped in the Wrap to Wave by one of the stylists – I think it shows how easy it is to do the figure 8 with your hair:

The Wrap to Waves tool is coming soon and will retail for $27.99.  You will be able to get it at Remington.com for free shipping or at your local store that carries other Remington hair products.


Fashion Friday is the most fashionable day of the week! Thanks for stopping by: link up your fashion posts and join in the fun! Fashion Friday Sponsorships are available – contact us for more information!
