What I call “non-committal curls” are huge for 2016. Since one of you requested that I discuss this year’s hair trends, I consulted several hair gurus and they all said loose curls are the look. I call them “non-committal” because they can’t seem to decide whether they want to be loose or structured. The effect you’re looking for is effortless, but polished…as if you happily tossed back your head and gentle curls magically formed.

But we girls know that curls never just magically appear. To get this look, I’m a fan of the 32mm Titan NUME. The barrel is titanium, meaning that it makes your hair silky, soft and shiny—three s’s that beauty-loving girls LOVE.

My advice is to let the curler heat up for about five minutes. The first time I used this set, I started at the two-minute mark and the curls didn’t hold. NUME is user-friendly. It even has a heat-protectant glove so you won’t burn yourself.
