Product Information

To make things even worse, heat can dry out your hair as well. As such, you’ll want to avoid using curling wands that are too hot for your hair to handle, especially if you have fine hair that’s sensitive to these sorts of things. Styling Accessories A curling tong, on the other hand, can create more uniform curls and tends to provide more of a frizz-free finish, due to the clamp that holds strands in place. It heats up in seconds and, because of the bristles, can be wrapped around sections of hair without you ever having to touch the end. If you want to though, there is a stay-cool tip for safety. These bristles stop the hair from coming loose while you’re waiting for the curl to set. You simply then unroll the brush from your hair, and repeat.

A curling tong is a styling tool with a straight barrel that opens and clamps your hair in place as you curl. Use it to create even curls or bouncy ringlets. There are a few features and considerations you'll want to look for to ensure you're choosing the right curling iron for your hair type and goals. Here's what to keep in mind as you get started with shopping:There are so many new hair styling tools on the market (hello, Dyson Airwrap) it can feel impossible to get a handle on them all. Curling wands, in particular, can be confusing—why should you use it versus a curling iron? What size barrel is best? What kind of styling products are you supposed to use?

For full-length curls, wrap the brush from end to root and hold. For waves, wrap and release almost instantly. Our model's favourite look was twisting the brush just around the ends to create a more subtle, curly style. To add volume, place the brush beneath a section of hair at the root. Hold for a few seconds and then lift up and out. Material: The GH Beauty Lab has found both ceramic and titanium curling irons are good conductors of heat and will work on all hair types, so try not to get persuaded by marketing claims that state one is better than the next. Toye, however, says that stylists tend to opt for titanium irons, since he finds they are lighter-weight than ceramic and can more effectively hold high temperatures, although ceramic irons can be more user-friendly due to their ability to evenly distribute heat. Barrel shape: Some wands have a cylindrical barrel that's the same width from base to tip while others are tapered to a smaller point at one end. The difference? Tapered wands create different a curl that changes in size from top to bottom for a messier, more natural look. Some wands even change in shape along the length of the barrel, like GHD's Creative Curl that graduates from a circle to an oval for a less uniform, more undone result. As for which is better — it's all a matter of preference. The biggest difference between the two hair tools is their shape. A wand is just as you’d imagine — a wand that can be straight, bubbled or tapered — whereas tongs have a clamp on the side to hold hair in place. To clean your curling wand, make sure it is unplugged and completely cooled off. Then, combine two tablespoons of baking powder with a few splashes of hydrogen peroxide. This will create a moist paste. From there, coat your wand in the paste for about 30 minutes to an hour. (Be sure not to get this paste on any buttons or electrical elements.) Once the time is up, wipe the paste off of your curling wand with your fingers. (It will be dry.) If there is any leftover residue on your wand, use a damp paper towel to wipe it off.Bubble - a wand with bubbles or bobbles will create a relaxed beachy style curl, resulting in volume and texture. Of all the hair tools on the market, few are as polarizing as the curling iron. Choosing the best curling iron is just as important as learning how to use one properly—whether you’re creating subtle waves, tight coils, or flatiron curls. The Best Curling Irons

Short hair: Curling can get fiddly and you don’t want to end up with burnt fingers. Use a curling tong to clamp the ends of short hair for easier styling. That's where celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis, who works with Julianne Moore, Katharine Langford, and Camila Cabello, comes to the rescue. We recently sat down with the Suave Professionals ambassador to get his best tips for mastering the curling wand, ahead. Curling wands are best for looser styles. The reason for this is that flat irons are made for more general use. You can curl, flatten or straighten hair depending on your goals, whereas curling wands are meant specifically for curling your hair. You can’t do much with a curling wand other than, well, curling, and this can be either a good or a bad thing depending on what you’re looking for in a hair styling device. Mideyah Parker is a celebrity hairstylist whose clients include Precious Lee, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Naomi Campbell.Whether you prefer loose waves or tighter, more defined curls, this curler lets you customise the heat (between 150°C and 210°C), determine the length of time the curl is held for, and even which direction the curls will twist. The smooth silicone design is comfortable to hold and the controls – heat, rotation, and power – are located naturally where your hand sits. To alternate the direction of your curls, simply press and hold either the left or right rotation button. Your hair will be automatically drawn into the curling chamber where it is gently heated around a rod infused with keratin, argan oil and coconut oil for up to 10 seconds. For the price of the Airwrap, you do get an impressive nine accessories as standard. This includes a 30mm, and a 40mm Airwrap barrel – allowing you to create tighter or looser curls depending on your mood. There is a firm smoothing brush, soft smoothing brush, round volumising brush, pre-styling dryer, storage case, non-slip mat and filter cleaning brush. All in a stylish storage box. Before you get started, to avoid burns, Matilde Campos, a celebrity hairstylist in Los Angeles, suggests using a heat-proof glove in case your hand accidentally bumps up against the rod while you're getting the hang of using it. Whether you use a wand or a tong is totally up to you; with a clamp, it can be easier to hold hair onto the heat to get an even heat distribution, but without can be easier and faster to curl your hair. In terms of the curls it produces, you can experiment with both barrel sizes to achieve different looks. Plus, hairstylist and colorist Ali Sherry notes, “It has multiple options for length, and it's easier on hair that can't handle extra heat damage.” (We will mention that if you have fine hair, we suggest spraying it with hairspray before and after curling it to really hold the style.) There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to using this properly, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to enjoy voluminous, gorgeous curls.
