Prevent wrist-injuries when doing curls with high weight
I am doing 25 pound dumb bell curls for a while and now I'd like to move to 35 pounds. The problem is, that I am afraid that my wrist will get injured with that much weight.
Will wrist bands help or should I support my wrist with the other hand while taking up and letting down the weights?

Why not move up to 27.5 or 30lbs dumbbells?
Generally people hurt their wrists doing higher weight, more awkward wrist position types of presses (i.e. Flat Bench Barbell) . With no previous injury history you're unlikely to hurt yourself with 25lbs dumbbells (just make sure you're in a position where you can drop them and they won't injure you or anyone else).
I'm assuming your gym has a Free Motion type of machine, if you're
concerned switch to that for a while / do straight (if your wrist
gives out something you can let go of)
See the following attachments: Use them with an overhand and
underhand grip (supinated and pronated). Should not take long for
your wrist strength to catch up.
