The Wavytalk Cool Curl Pencil is designed to help you style short hair and detail sections with more control. Whether you want to curl, shape, smooth, or lift your hair at the roots, this tool is made for precise styling on shorter lengths.
What the Cool Curl Pencil Is Best For
You can use the Wavytalk Cool Curl Pencil for short hair styling and detail work, including pixie cuts, bobs, bangs, edge pieces, and short layers. Its 0.65-inch barrel helps you get close to the roots, while the 360° cool airflow helps set your hair as you style.
This tool is especially useful when you want better control over small sections and hard-to-reach areas.
What Hairstyles Can You Create
With the Cool Curl Pencil, you can create:
- Small curls
- Soft bends
- Root lift
- Face-framing detail styling
- Quick touch-ups on short sections
- Smoothed and shaped bangs
Depending on how you guide the hair around the barrel, you can use it to straighten, wave, or curl short sections.
Before You Start
Before you begin, make sure your hair is completely dry. Do not use the tool on damp or wet hair. Fully dry hair gives you better styling results and helps protect your hair from unnecessary heat stress.
Before styling, you should also:
- Brush through your hair first
- Divide your hair into small sections
- Start with the lowest effective heat setting
- Wear the included glove if you are new to slim styling tools
Using smaller sections gives you better control and makes it easier to shape your hair evenly.
Temperature Guide
The Cool Curl Pencil has 5 heat settings:
- 280°F
- 320°F
- 360°F
- 390°F
- 430°F
You can choose the temperature based on your hair type:
- Fine, soft, or damaged hair: 280°F–320°F
- Normal hair: 360°F
- Coarse, thick, or resistant hair: 390°F–430°F
Tips: Start with a low temperature, and only switch to a higher setting when needed. If you do, apply a heat protectant spray first to help minimize heat damage.
How to Turn It On
- Plug in the tool.
- Turn it on.
- Select the heat setting that matches your hair type.
- Wait for the tool to heat up.
- Choose whether you want the cool airflow on or off.
You can turn the cool airflow off if you want a quieter styling session or if you are mainly using the tool to smooth or straighten your hair.
How to Curl Short Hair
- Take a small section of dry hair.
- Place the section near the barrel. Start close to the roots if you want extra lift.
- Wrap or guide the hair around the slim barrel.
- Hold briefly, then release.
- Let the cool airflow help set the shape.
- Repeat section by section until you finish styling.
Because the barrel is slim, this tool works best on small, controlled sections. It is especially useful for pixie cuts, short bobs, bangs, and face-framing detail areas.
How to Add Root Lift
If you want more volume at the roots, follow these steps:
- Take a small section from the top or crown area.
- Place the tool close to the roots.
- Lift the section upward slightly.
- Hold for a moment, then release.
- Repeat where you want extra volume.
This method works well when you want to add lift around the crown without overstyling the rest of your hair.
How to Smooth Bangs or Detail Sections
You can also use the Cool Curl Pencil to shape bangs, flyaways, or front pieces.
- Choose a lower heat setting if your hair is fine or fragile.
- Work with very small sections.
- Glide and shape the hair gently instead of holding it in place for too long.
- Use the tip carefully for more directional control.
This is useful when you want to smooth your bangs, refine edge pieces, or touch up small sections around your face.
Safety Tips
- Use the tool only on fully dry hair.
- Start with a lower heat setting first.
- Wear the included glove if you are still getting used to the tool.
- Avoid touching the heated plate area directly.
- Use extra care even though the tip is heat-insulated.
- Unplug the tool after use.
- The tool includes 60-minute auto shut-off for added safety.
Travel-Friendly Features
