Enrapture Encode Totem Styler Review

I have perfectly dead straight hair, always have, always will. The trouble is...I've always wanted curly hair! My friends say they're so jealous of me when I say I don't even really have to run the GHD's through it when they spend at least half of their morning routine trying to tame their unruly locks!

When I was about 9 I was a Bridesmaid and I was adamant I wanted curly hair as the older Bridesmaids were having curly hair. The Bride wouldn't let me so I was in a huff for days. So when my Wedding came along last year the first thing I said to my hairdresser was that I wanted curly hair. I loved it and got so many comments about how it looked on the day. Unfortunately I can't post the photos on here but here is the link to my Photographers website where you can take a look at my day!

Since then (almost a year on) I've been trying to create the same look but without the hefty price tag (don't get me wrong, I love my hairdresser I just can't afford to pay out that amount of money every time!) so when Enrapture offered to send me their Totem Styler I was more than happy to give it a try!

Firstly I need to talk about the packaging, I LOVE the box it looks so sleek and sophisticated (plus its a lovely purple colour, which just so happens to be my favourite!) When you open it up, everything is hidden away in little pockets which makes it tidy (a big plus in my eyes as I love things to be neat)

The sleek packaging//Adjustable heat settings//The mini flipper

Right, onto the styler, the barrel is split into three sections and they each have their own heat setting which can be adjusted to create the type of curl you want. I had a play around with the settings to start with and tried each one on a different section of my hair. There are also video tutorials for several different looks on the Enrapture website. To recreate my Wedding curls I needed to use code 1-3-3. This meant that the curls were slightly looser on the top and tighter at the bottom. I sectioned my hair and sprayed my Beever Heat Shield spray all over it. I then used the mini flipper at the bottom of the barrel to secure the section and then rolled the styler up to the top of my read. I only had to wait about 10-15 seconds to achieve the curl I wanted as I used fairly small sections of hair. When I unwound the curl it was the perfect shape and with a giant smile on my face I plastered hairspray all over it to stop it from going anywhere! I then started work on the rest of my hair and this is the finished result!

Overall I am really impressed with the results, it took me about 30 minutes to complete the look (whilst applying my make up at the same time!) and was really easy to do. I think with a little more practice I'll be able to get them looking tighter as these were a bit loose but I still love this look!

You can buy the Enrapture Totem Styler at Boots for £59.99. They also do other styling products including Heated Rollers and a Jumbo Waver which look just as good!

Have you tried the Totem Styler or any other Enrapture products? What did you think?
