- Hello, my dream little Muk Stick
I don't really know what that was.
Hi, everyone, welcome back to The Adore Beauty
YouTube channel.
My name's Megan,
I'm part of the social and content team
here at Adore Beauty.
Today, I'm introducing a product
that I'm very excited to talk about.
It is the Muk Curl Stick Volume 2.0
with four interchangeable barrels.
Before we get into the actual video,
I just wanna say that I have actually owned
a Muk Stick stick since 2016.
I was at uni at the time
and working part-time at a makeup counter,
I saw the Muk Stick,
a stylist that I followed on Instagram used it also.
So I saved up week by week until I could afford it.
And I never looked back really,
I've been using it ever since.
So when this new and improved version came out,
you best believe I was excited to try it.
Now, this is actually quite affordable
when you compare it to other curlers on the market
and we will pop the price down here for you.
For four interchangeable heads,
you get five different heat settings, a swivel cord,
a three metre cord.
Oh yeah, probably is actually three metres.
When you look at everything that you get
and the quality of style that you can get from the tool,
it's pretty much a no brainer compared to the price.
So now that we've covered off all of that
let's just cut to me with my hair undone.
Now you get four different attachments
depending on what type of curl you want to create.
So the first barrel that we have is the conical barrel.
Now, this I would say is probably the smallest barrel
which means it'll give you the tightest curl.
So it starts smaller on the inside.
And then gradually gets bigger
as you get towards the base of the barrel.
This is really great if you want movement in your curls
or if you're just looking for something
that will give you a really nice tight and defined curl.
Next up, we have the straight barrel.
So this is great for just soft, bouncy curls.
This is probably the one that I use the most, personally.
I find that it gives me so much volume
and it is pretty much the same width
from the top down towards the bottom.
So you know that you're gonna get a nice uniform curl.
We then have the wedge barrel.
Now this is really cool at creating
almost like a beachy wave.
As you can see,
it does have this interesting little shape on it.
So it will give you a slightly larger curl
than your straight up and down barrel.
And we then have this oval barrel.
So this is again, a really cool shape.
This I would choose to use
if I really wanted like a glamorous,
stretched out wave rather than a curl.
The very last thing that you get in the Muk Stick V2
is a beautiful protective heat glove.
Oh, it's getting stuck.
Absolutely, chuck this little glove on
and you will be protected.
Firstly, I'm just gonna section off my hair.
I will go in with a little bit of heat protectant.
So you just use your favourite one.
So before I turn this on,
I just wanna show you how easy it is to change over
the attachments.
There is a little clip here
and you basically just push that in until you hear it pop.
And then you know that it's nice and attached.
I didn't really do that.
Just line up these four little pins
with the four holes and push it in.
Well, that sounded so wrong.
And we are nice and attached.
You'll hear that little click in
to know that it is safely on.
So I'm now just gonna turn it on.
And then to go through the different heat settings,
you literally just click the little on and off button
and it will go through each heat setting,
and you can just land on the one that you're happy with.
I think I'm gonna go for 150 today.
Whoa, that is so fast.
I genuinely think it's been on for about 10 seconds
and it's already warm.
The first attachment I'm gonna show you
is the straight barrel.
So I'm just gonna take a section of hair,
and I'd say it's about an inch and a half or so.
Now the way that I like to curl my hair
is I will grab this barrel
and I'm going to face it downwards towards my knees
and I'm then going to curl the hair away from my face
so that I get a nice voluminous curl.
So I'm going to face the barrel downwards
and we're just going to wrap the hair around.
I do like to leave a few centimetres off at the end.
So I'm gonna leave that there for about five to 10 seconds.
And then I'm just going to unwrap the hair.
And that is a little curl we have.
Now, I know you're probably thinking Megan,
that curl looks like it's from 2001,
but we're going to leave that curl
so that it can set in place.
And then once it's completely cooled down,
we will brush through it
to give it that really nice 2020 look.
I just said 2020 look,
obviously I've missed two years of my life in lockdown.
We're in 2022.
We're now moving on to the conical barrel.
And as you can see, even though it is quite similar,
the look of barrel one and barrel two
this one is just slightly more defined
and it has more of a coiled curl.
Okay, now moving on to the wedge barrel
and I'm going to create a little bit more
of like a sexy beach wave.
(upbeat music)
And as you can see, this is way more relaxed.
It looks a lot more natural.
And now we are testing out the oval barrel.
So this will give us more of a glamorous wave or curl.
(upbeat music)
This is almost like a hybrid between a curl and a wave.
And it almost gives you more of like an S-shaped bend.
I'm just going to brush out these first two curls
just so that I can show you what they look like
once we've given them a bit of a zhuzh with a brush.
So that's our straight barrel curl
and this is our conical barrel curl.
So now I'm just gonna finish styling my hair.
And I think I'm just gonna keep rolling
with this oval barrel
'cause I thought the curls were really cool
and it gave my hair a lot of volume, so BRB.
Okay, so we've finished curling now.
I actually really like the curls
that I've been able to create.
It's given it like a really relaxed,
almost like lived in wave,
but I'm just gonna give them like a really soft brush
and you don't have to do this step.
Yeah, I mean I love it.
It just looks so natural and relaxed.
If you had shorter hair
then these curls would probably be much more defined.
Like for instance, if you look at my bangs area.
That is the wrap up of the Muk Stick Volume Two.
If you have any questions about it,
please just leave them in the comments
and we will be sure to get back to you.
Otherwise, we will see you next time, bye guys.
