NuMe’s Lustrum 5-in-1 curling wand may be the holy grail of curling wands. With five interchangeable heads, you can achieve large, medium, small, and tapered curls, as well as the rippled wand for the ultimate beach waves. Rather than tediously buying five separate wands for your desired curls, NuMe revolutionizes curling with five quality wands in one, allowing you to change up your look, effortlessly. The iron stays true to their testament: “For the NuMe girl who has to have it all, and then some.”
The barrels of each wand are 100% tourmaline, meaning you’ll achieve optimal results when curling. Super quick science lesson: tourmaline projects negative ions, when those ions from the wand meet the positive ions of your hair, a neutral charge occurs, leaving your curls smooth and completely frizz free. This, and the interchangeable wands aren’t all there is to celebrate about the iron though, with one standard heat setting the wand eliminates pesky dials we’re accustomed to using with other wands.
Facilitating curling, it’s swivel cord allows your twist and turn your wrist with ease, without turning into tangled mess. In addition, the set comes with a heat protective glove, and assuredly, it protected my hand from the heat penetrating and allowed us to wrap hair around the barrel gripping it with our entire hand. As for the base, the rubber matte exterior allows for a strong grip without our inevitably sweaty palms loosing grip. Ranking Lustrum as the ultimate tool for the ultimate curls.
Now, the ‘set up’ is easy. Each wand easily snaps in into the base and locks in place, but be sure to let a barrel cool completely before removing it. Stored away into a convenient foldable caddy, each piece has it’s own separate compartment, making storage easier than ever.
As for the results, the Downtown team tested the large barrel on our Art Director, who has very thick, straight long hair and the medium barrel on our Editor who has naturally curly, thick, medium length hair. Much to our surprise, the curls held with the straight hair given the density, weight, and texture. The process was a lot easier with our editor because her hair is curly. Nonetheless, given the thickness, the results impressively lasted for the entirety of the day in office.
Additionally, we used the NuMe Argan oil at the very end of styling, to allow the product to penetrate into the curls, producing an intense shine.
NuMe, as a brand overall, knows how to facilitate the fast paced life of the girl on-the-go. Their manifesto reigns true, wanting to give the NuMe girl the upmost confidence, by creating an innovative and exciting way to master the art of curls.
