Hair Curlers, Curling Wands & Wavers: Automatic, Clip-Free & Infrared

A larger or tapered barrel is typically best for soft, effortless beach waves, since larger barrels create looser curls and smaller barrels create tighter ones. Try the Tapered Curling Wand for effortless curls and beach waves, or the triple-barrel Mermaid Waver for beachy waves.

A curling wand does not have a clamp, allowing hair to wrap freely around the barrel for more natural-looking curls and waves. A curling iron uses a clamp to hold the hair in place, creating more uniform curls.

For long hair, a larger barrel creates loose waves and wraps more hair at once. The 1.25" Pro Styling Wand is designed for medium-to-long hair, voluminous curls and Hollywood waves.

For longer-lasting curls, start with completely dry hair, use a heat protectant, curl small sections, allow curls to cool before brushing, and finish with a flexible hold hairspray.

Choose the 3/4" Pro Styling Wand for tight, defined curls, the 1" for versatile curls on short to long hair, or the 1.25" for voluminous curls and Hollywood waves on medium-to-long hair. The Pro Styling Wand Set includes four interchangeable barrels.

Yes, automatic curlers are a great option for beginners because the tool rotates the barrel and wraps the hair for you, creating consistent curls with less technique. The Press n' Curl offers dual-direction rotation, and the Cosmo uses directional controls to rotate its barrel.

It depends on the look you want. A clip-free curling wand like the Pro Styling Wand gives natural-looking curls, an automatic curler like the Press n' Curl or Cosmo wraps the hair for you, and the triple-barrel Mermaid Waver creates beachy S-waves.

A hair curler, such as a curling wand or an automatic curler, wraps hair around a barrel to create curls. A hair waver presses hair between wave-shaped barrels to create uniform S-waves, like the triple-barrel Mermaid Waver.
