Curling hair??? What should I use?

I have very thick hair so curling it with a wand takes about 1 hour without stopping and they fall out quickly after. I want to start curling my hair more instead of straightening it everyday. Is there another type of curling iron that would be faster or work better for thick hair? Thanks!

    Maybe you need another wand technique? I curl better with a wand and the curls last forever. This is what I do with my Karmin Clipless and it might work for you. Put some light holding heat protectant spray on the piece of hair you're going to curl and wrap it around the barrel for 5 seconds or more. Not more than 10 seconds because you'll damage your hair. Then, pin up the curl and go on to the next piece of hair. Once the pinned up curls are cool, let them down and use a teeny bit of holding spray. Don't use too much product or it will weigh down on the curls and flatten them.

    I have thick hair and I use a 2 inch clip. If your curls keep falling out, you will either need a lot of hairspray, or maybe it is a good idea to buy some rollers. Overnight ones will work best for you.

    Take your hair in 1-inch sections and wrap it around a #2 pencil and blow dry each piece for 2-3 seconds. it may not look like its curling but within 4-6 minutes the curls start showing
