Curls are back in fashion this summer. For hair with volume but limited time to spend using rollers and dryers, a curling wand will give long lasting, defined results every time. They tend to heat up quickly, are lightweight, easy to use and very affordable. Once you've mastered the technique, it couldn't be simpler to create a range of styles from very tight curls to wavy, care-free curls.
H2D Magicurl™ Grand Curling Wand
This styler claims to be able to create tight or loose curls and to leave hair in great condition ("Ion field technology seals in natural oils for great conditioning"). The 25mm tapered Tourmaline barrel is easy to wind hair around and ceramic technology produces negative ions to seal cuticles and repel humidity, so there shouldn't be any frizz! This particular model heats up fast - achieves the desired temperature of 220ºC in under 60 seconds. Comes with a free heat resistant glove.
Available from Amazon.
YOGI wand hair styler
This styler has tourmaline and ceramic barrels to hold hair in place, Teflon coating for easy cleaning and an extra-long 360-degree swivel cable to help reach the back sections of your hair. Simply wind as much or as little hair as you like round the barrel, hold for a few seconds, release and admire your shiny new curls. Comes with a holder/resting mat and a protective cotton glove.
Available from QVC.
BaByliss 2285U Curling Wand
"Nano-gold ceramic conical barrel for smooth shiny frizz-free curls". What we also like are the 5 digital temperature settings to choose from. Great for soft curls, this styler's design has a bit of thought gone into it - it has a built-in rest to allow you to pop it on your dresser whilst you style and a power cord that swivels as you move the styler around your head. It also comes with a free 3 year guarantee - most other stylers come with one.
Available from Amazon.
