Enrapture Amplify Jumbo Waver Review

If you have ever met me, I very rarely, if not at all, do anything with my hair. When I was younger I used to a bit more adventurous, including dyeing, straightening, crimping, feathering and layers. However I haven't dyed it since I was 17 and I very rarely straighten it anymore as it's pretty much naturally straight and therefore refraining from neglecting my hair has left it lovely long, thick and healthy. I love it.

Enrapture Amplify Jumbo Waver
When Everyday Hair Just Isn't Enough

I own Enrapture Extremity Heated Rollers and although there's a lot of hype around them, I don't get on with them as much as I'd like- which is purely down to my inexperience to be honest! However, since being introduced to the brand, the Amplify Jumbo Waver has caught my eye. I think it must be something to do with the fact they reminded me of a huge crimper which I loved using when I was much younger but at £60 I was a bit reluctant to shell out and have the risk of being disappointed either by my inexperience or the fact that they might not set in my dead straight hair!

 The Enrapture Amplify Jumbo Waver comes with a three year guarantee which you need to activate. You can do this by registering the product when you've bought it only at www.enrapturehair.com. It also comes with a 'Love it or your money back' guarantee which I think is a great way to promote a great product as it gives you peace of mind, but you won't be disappointed!

If you've ever seen or opened any Enrapture products, you will know the amazing and decadent packaging that houses the products. The Amplify Jumbo Waver was packaged in a purple, metallic, rectangular box, embossed with the Enrapture logo on the front. When I opened the box, the waver was housed in a gold cardboard fitting to secure it inside which really complemented the purple as well as giving it a real high end feeling for what I paid.

The waver is of considerable size, larger than my hand and yes, it can be quite hard to handle and operate, but don't be put off! Once you get the hand of it it's okay and manageable! So here are the features that caught my eye!

The waver has an adjustable temperature dial which I LOVE! My old Remmington straighteners had this and when I bought a new brand they didn't have it :( It gives you the option to set it at whatever you like without being restricted to 3 or 5. this is definitely something that is a major feature for me!

The handle is easy grip, matt black and embossed with the Enrapture name, giving it a really professional look! What I love, similar to my old straighteners is that the waver comes equipped with a locking ring for storage which is handy because it's quite big.

I've seen a few reviews where the sprung marcel handle flipper hasn't lived up to expectations. It's quite a small flipper and I personally don't find it hard to operate regarding size and weight, but if you're new to these kind of styling products then you might find that you need to get used to it before you master your perfect way of styling!

The barrels are larger than most that I have seen on the market which create slightly bigger crimped effect. These larger barrels create big 'S' waves that are instant and long lasting. This is because of the titanium plate technology. The polished titanium plates prevent snagging, heat up super fast and also have a fast heat recovery. The tips on the end of the barrels are described as 'cool tips' however when styling my hair and resting a finger or two on them whilst holding it in place, I did find it particularly hot, so be aware of that as it can take you by surprise!

The 3 meter swivel cord is great for when you're moving it around your head whilst styling. It's especially great for those like me who style in-front of a mirror that's a meter or two away from a socket!
The Amplify Jumbo Waver comes equipped with an Enrapture heat proof mat. The heat proof mat can be zipped up to encase the waver whilst travelling or storing as well as being unzipped to act as a heat proof mat anywhere at any time!
This is 1 hour after I had finished styling my hair with the Enrapture Amplify Jumbo Waver. I hate dragging down my hair with loads of product and therefore I didn't add any products such as dry shampoo or hairspray etc. before or after styling. I went to University like it at 10am and came home at 5pm and the waves were still considerably visible! I am very impressed with the results and am happy that I decided to invest in it! It livens up straight hair with beachy waves, just ready in time for Spring Summer 2014! I will definitely be taking it on holiday with me this year!

RATING:
Price; 4 STARS £60 is a lot of money for me, especially when sceptical about a product, but compared to the £30 I paid I am very impressed and feel that £30 is worth it. However even though I am aware of the fantastic results that the Amplify Jumbo Waver can create, I'm still not sure if I would have paid £60.

Promises; 5 STARS The waves stayed in all day! Their slogan; "when everyday hair isn't enough" is perfect! I am soo pleased that my dull straight hair can now be transformed! 

Ease of Use; 3 STARS The waver is pretty big and a lot of bloggers find it hard to use because of the size. At first I was a bit daunted but once you've taking into account the size whilst styling, it's manageable. 

Would I Recommend to a Friend?; YES I love this waver. I haven't used anything similar so I can't compare but my waves stayed in all day and it has given me the opportunity to transform my hair into something pretty and different from my day to day plain Jane.
