Full review
Toni and Guy Hot Sticks are long, thin, red sticks with a metal rod through the middle (to hold heat) which come in a silver storage case, which heats up the sticks when they are placed in it and turned on. I purchased some for about £25 - £30 (never can remember how much I've spent on things!) as it seemed a quick way of curling my hair while I was getting ready to go out and I was fed up of spending ages trying to achieve the perfect look. The hot sticks are a new equivalent of the old "benders" (I know that doesn't sound right, but I'm sure thats what we used to call them!) that used to look like little piggy tails stuck in your hair... you know, the ones your mum used to make you sleep in! Come on girls we all used to have some!! These are a little bit more up to date though.
As I have described, they come in a silver holder, which you place the hot sticks in, pop on the lid and turn on (they can be stored in this holder but they do come with extra sticks which I place in the empty holes to heat up as I use them - I have loads of hair though!). When the indicator lights up, they are warm and ready to go. You get the hot sticks, and wind your hair round them, as you would have done your benders all those years ago! They stay in easily, no twisting the ends, as they have a little hole to pop the other end into to hold in place. I find they work better if you apply a little hairspray first. There is an instruction leaflet that comes with them explaining how to do different effects, from spiral type curls to natural loose waves. All the different curls are very easy to achieve, even on your own hair.
I leave the curlers in while applying my makeup (around half an hour), then get dressed, let out my hair, apply a bit more hairspray and I'm good to go. I also use them on my daughters very long hair, and the curls stay in wonderfully.
I would recommend Toni and Guy Hot Sticks to any girls, like myself, who like to get ready in a hurry. I mean, come on girls, you can pop these in and get your housework done, then take them out and look fabulous. Or how about popping them in before you have a relax in the bath? Get out, apply your makeup, get dressed, take out the Hot Sticks and off you go.... what a fab idea, I know what I'm doing next time I go out!!!
