Chopstick Styler The Master Review

Publish date: 2024-02-20

THE PRODUCT:

Chopstick Styler 'The Master', £29.99, available at chopstickstyler.com (as well as Argos, Superdrug and ASDA)

THE HYPE:

Unlike any other curling wand, the Chopstick Styler has a rectangular barrel. The design is flatter, with defined edges, rather than smooth and rounded. The idea is that this produces 'squarer' curls, that are set more securely and therefore reduce the 'drop-rate', with curls lasting up to two days.

BEAUTY BIO:

My natural hair has a bit of a wave and bend to it, which can create some nice texture, but it's nowhere near curly. I'll sometimes use a straightener to create a loose curl, or if I want extra hold and a more Hollywood wave, I'll turn to my favourite muk curl stick.

CHOPSTICK STYLER 'THE MASTER' REVIEW:

I have NEVER seen a curler like this before. I've used both wands and tongs (with clips) before, but this is in its own league.

Completely flat, with one-centimetre thick edges, I assume the name is because it actually does resemble a chopstick. There are four different types of this curler, which vary in length and thickness for different types of curls, but I tried 'The Master'.

My hair was freshly washed and blow-dried semi-straight to begin with. With no grease to help it grip, I found it really hard to get started with the wand. My hair just kept slipping off and it took a while to get used to the shape of it. I found holding my hair really tight toward the wand while I wrapped it around helped (God bless the heat protection glove it came with).
