\"This was the first curling wand I ever bought and I still use it when I travel,\" said a former Good Housekeeping editor. \"It's inexpensive, so I don't worry if it gets bumped around in my luggage or accidentally left at a hotel. It's super no-frills, but it gets the job done!\" It has over 6,800 reviews on Amazon and an average 4.5 star rating and a quick preheat time.
This wand has four interchangeable barrel sizes and styles, so it's many tools in one at a reasonable price point. The medium and large barrels work for polished bouncy curls and beach waves, and as for the thinner barrels, nothing works better for fine-tuning natural curls. While we haven't put it to the test in the Beauty Lab, one of our editors has used it nearly every day for over 10 years!
While we haven't formally tested this pick in the Lab, it boasts over 14,000 reviews on Amazon, this ceramic coated wand is a crowd fave. The graduated barrel comes in a smaller -1-inch size for tighter curls and a larger 1-1-inch size for looser waves. Reviewers love that this affordable curling wand will \"curl your stick-straight hair into submission.\" One of our editors says the finish on this wand is super smooth and because it also has a tapered end, you'll have to hold hair in place carefully to prevent it from sliding off.
For curls that look natural (not cookie-cutter uniform), the unique taper on this wand is reversed for curls that bell out at the bottom and are tighter at the top. This one was the quickest to heat up in Lab tests (from 0 to 435ºF in 60 seconds, flat) and it nabbed the best expert score for having easy to use controls, a clear, bright display and being easy to maneuver.
The extra-long 16-inch barrel on this one-inch wand makes it perfect for even super-long hair that has a tendency to wrap around itself on traditionally-sized curling wands and irons. Our Lab experts were wowed by the quick heat-up time and found the wand easy to maneuver and the controls intuitive to use (even without looking at them). The longer-than-average length of this wand takes some getting used to, so be particularly careful when using it at first.
A novel design that incorporates a flat iron mode along with a curling wand and a curling iron, this 1 -inch rod scored moderately well across the board from ease of use to performance to user satisfaction. It scored high for having a wide temperature range, plus it got a perfect score for curls that lasted throughout the day making it perfect for thick, coarse or coily hair that tends to frizz. Even short-haired testers loved its versatility, noting \"it was the safest curling tool I used: Easy to maneuver and keep from touching the face or scalp.\"
An editor favorite for waves and curls, not only is this curling wand tapered in size, but its shape graduates from circular to oblong for the perfectly tousled, undone wave. Its silicone tip stays cool to mitigate the risk of burns. This brand is known for hair tools that heat up quickly and maintain a constant temperature of 365ºF, which the brand says is safer for hair: The trade-off is that you can't adjust the settings for finer or thicker hair types.
If you've ever had A+ waves on one side of your head, so-so waves on the other, you're not alone. The wand on this hot tool helps fix that with a pivoting handle that rotates between 180 and 90 to easily reach every strand and fix a common beginner gripe. When we tested it in the Beauty Lab, our pros thought the rotating mechanism was a bit difficult to use, adding that the \"barrel felt wobbly in both the 90º and 180º positions.\"
Created by hairstylist Sarah Potempa, this time-saving, automated curling iron is the only one GH's Beauty Director April Franzino uses. \"It rotates away from your face, taking the guesswork out of curling hair,\" she says. \"All you have to do is clamp a section of hair at the bottom, press the button and watch as it winds around the curler. Hold for a few seconds, release and you have a perfect loose curl.\" Lab testers noted that \"it grips hair well,\" and the resulting \"curls are well-defined and stay in place\" for \"beautiful, natural looking curls in no time.\" There's a bit of a learning curve, though, and it's best for long hair; testers with short hair found the small clip difficult to use.
Sick of running out of space on your wand to curl your long hair, or having to wrap hair multiple times over itself This tool works especially well for longer hair thanks to the extended length of the barrel, which the brand claims is two inches longer than most curling irons. Though we haven't tested this pick in the Lab, fans love that their style lasts for hours, with one reviewer saying her \"curls last the whole day and I still can have loose curls the next day.\"
This clever iron is actually three tools in one: A flat iron, a curling wand and a curling iron. The 1 -inch barrel is perfect for glam waves and curls, and in Lab tests, it scored in the middle of the pack in everything from ease of use to performance to user satisfaction. Our short-haired testers particularly loved it, saying \"it was easy to maneuver and keep from touching the face or scalp,\" and that it felt the safest of all options with a low burn risk. Plus, the short barrel and compact design makes it foolproof to use on shorter tresses.
Fine hair is fragile and can be difficult to curl for fear of breakage as well as its tendency to fall flat. That's why this iron from Revlon is a great pick for those with thin hair: Its adjustable temperature reaches the lowest number in our roundup at 225ºF, and it performed toward the top of the pack for long-lasting curls and curling without snagging. It scored high for ergonomics and intuitiveness, and our Lab pros found it had good instructions that may be helpful for fine haired users to prevent over-experimentation (a.k.a. increased risk of damage), although we wish the cord was longer for easier styling.
We haven't tested this exact model formally in the Lab, but Drybar's wand performed well in our Lab tests, so it's no surprise this three-in-one pick is a fan favorite. It has three useful attachments for all of your curling needs and then some: A 1-inch wand for undone beach waves, a 1 -inch curling iron for polished curls and a three-pronged waver for messy texture. Plus, the clamp on the curling iron is heated so you can also use the larger barrel as a wand or a smoothing flat iron, of sorts. A GH editor says, \"the mechanism to switch the attachments is easy to use and feels secure and safe/ The display is bright and the rubberized buttons are intuitive and simple to press,\" although she wishes there was a better kickstand to keep the heating element from resting on the counter. The tool heats up quickly on every mode and every barrel is smooth and snag-free for glossy, smooth styling.
This sleek one-inch model has universal voltage and earned dozens of raves with reviewers, including those with thin hair. \"I have fine hair and it is wonderful to find a curling iron that actually does what I need it to,\" one Nordstrom reviewer said. We haven't Lab-tested this iron, but it's a consistent top-seller with a cult following (and a GH editor fave!). While no heat tool can be \"damage-free,\" in our Beauty Lab's test of flat irons, we found the ghd tool maintained a steady temperature of 365º which helps prevent excessive heat damage, unlike other models that can exceed 450º. The downside, though, is that that single temperature may not suit all different hair types, textures and thicknesses.
Start by clipping the top half (or two-thirds if you have thicker hair) up so it's out of the way, then separate the bottom layer of your hair into four or five sections. With the wand pointed downward, wrap a section of hair around the barrel, working toward the tip, then hold it in place for five to eight seconds and release.
With just one heating element, temperatures of most curling irons fluctuate, which means more work and less consistent results. With our two heating elements the Trifecta holds a consistent temperature, so the curler works quickly and results in longer lasting, more symmetrical curls.
I have long hair that tends to lose its' curl very quickly and start to look stringy. This wand adds curls that stay! Even the next day my hair still has waves in it! When I curl it, I finger comb it and it looks like I have natural curls!
Even more, hairstylist Angie Perrantes, who specializes in natural hair, says that once she tried the T3, it was hard to use another curling iron brand because it heats up quickly and leaves hair silky smooth.
For a tool your stylist would use during your routine blowout appointment, consider the Drybar The Wrap Party Styling Wand. The professional wand features a no-slip barrel, which heats up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, notably to create the beachy waves of your dreams. 781b155fdc
