The XO Styling Iron is here, and we’ve fallen completely hair over heels!
Created by one of our favourite blogger/influencers, Cara Jourdan, with ease of use in mind, the XO Styling Iron ($170 USD) has a unique tapered end that gives total control and is great for curling or straightening hair. Also great for bangs! It has titanium plates that heat quickly and evenly and will glide through hair without tagging or snagging. Also: ceramic heaters create far-infrared heat, which is the most gentle heat to use when styling hair. It has an adjustable LCD screen that provides the exact temperate and keeps heat consistent during the styling process, and a 360-swivel cord that moves with you. It also has Cara’s favourite feature: universal voltage so you can pack it and use it anywhere!
You can SHOP the XO Styling Iron now, and head over to @vitadaily.ca on Instagram to enter to win one of your own! Also, check out Cara’s step-by-step styling guide below, to create her summer-and-IG-worthy beach waves. —Noa Nichol
Beach Waves How To With The XO Styling Iron
- Grab your XO Styling Iron.
- Take the first piece of hair and place it in the flat iron.
- Pull straightener toward you, giving it a half-turn, and glide it down until you reach the end of your hair, then release. (Hold the straightener horizontally to get more of beachy wave, vertically to get curls.)
- Repeat through the rest of your hair (I sometimes clip up layers to make it easier to work through, then let them down as I finish each section).
- When finished curling all of your hair, take a small amount of anti-frizz product and work it through your hair. I prefer not using hairspray, but if you want your hair to set for a long day or night out, you can spray through a bit of hairspray, too. And you’re done!

I style my hair straight because I can’t do much else! Never been able to accomplish curls or waves.

My fine straight hair has turned curly and frizzy in the last few years so I have been trying to sleek it out with an OLD straightener that is doing a terrible job. Would love to have straight shiny hair. Thanks for the chance! @rosegrissom

My hair is straight so I mostly wear it like that. But I would love some effortless beachy waves for summer! Need something easy and trusty like the xo styling iron 🙂
I’m from Vancouver BC.

My hair is extra long right now so normally is in a ponytail. I do love beach waves though.

As I havent been able to get it cut it’s been a pony tail, but next week it will be straight (humidity might change that idea) or wave.

I wear my hair 3 ways .. day 1 down and curled, day 2 up in a messy bun and occasionally straight and long.
@vannarip
Thank you ?

I usually have my hair down and straight, but if I’m going out with the curls I like to do loose curls!

I always straighten my hair! My hair is so thick. When it dries naturally it is so fluffy and full. Kind of the cave women style! ?

I always keep band aids on me in case of emergencies. When my friend and I fell off our bikes together. Me, my bike, his bike land on top of him with us tangled up within the bikes, we need a little more than band aids. ?

I style mine usually straight as it helps keep the volume and weight off it. But on do up days I go with waves/curled ?

I like loose curls✨ because I naturally have really straight hair. I’ll also like to play with other types of styles but finding the right hair styling tool isn’t as easy… @_tinna_f
