Best hair curlers for every type of curl and hair type

The ghd Curve Classic Wand creates dreamy waves, whatever your hair type. Taking just 25 seconds to heat up and with a light and sound to indicate it is ready to use, you can curl your hair in seconds - perfect for when you're in a rush in the morning. The 28mm – 26mm oval-shaped barrel is suitable for all hair lengths and other features include a professional-length cord, automatic sleep mode after 30 minutes and universal voltage.

Customer review: "I brought this wand about 2 weeks ago now. I curl my hair probably more than you should at least 4 days a week. I have thin hair and my curls don't last long. But with this wand they last me all day and the next day I'm just touching up. Best part is that my hair doesn't smell burnt!!! My other wand was leaving my hair smell burnt which was an awful smell. .. This wand heats up so quickly, like I'm talking 3 seconds, it also makes the cutest sounds when you turn it off/on and when it's ready for use. In my opinion this is definitely worth the price so far!"

As well as being of great value, the TRESemmé Professional Ceramic tong is a medium-sized tong with a 25mm ceramic-coated barrel and is the perfect styling tool for creating defined, soft curls with a smooth finish. A real salon tool, the tong has three temperature settings with a maximum of 210°C.

Customer review: "Very nice curler, good thickness to get those loose curls, heats up very quickly. It comes with a cover for it to cool down, which is very handy. It also has a couple of settings, but I find it very effective even on the lowest temperature. Highly recommend!"

The Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete In Vinca Blue and Rosé uses the innovational Coanda effect which creates "a spinning vortex of air around the cylindrical shaped barrels of the tool" and "attracts the hair through the airflow, encouraging hair to wrap itself around the barrel and curling it through the use of the air vortex." Engineered for multiple hair types with new barrels to curls and wave in both directions, brushes to control and shape and the multi-functional smoothing dryer to dry, smooth and hide flyaways.

Rated and reviewed by Yours writer Emily Gilbert: "I was really impressed with the curls both barrels produced, personally favouring the 30mm barrel for voluminous results. I loved the final look and was chuffed at how effortless it had been to produce.

"Research quickly told me that getting the curls to hold was a common problem people experienced with the Airwrap. While the type and condition of hair you have is naturally going to have an impact on how long your curl is going to last, the people that were finding success with their curls were using pre-styling products before using their Dyson Airwrap, which I had not been. The products used will entirely depend on each individual and it can take some time to figure it out but I personally found applying a hair mousse really helped my curls to stay in longer.

Customer review: "This hair curler has been easy to use and very practical, I really like the infused micro-conditioner it has leaves my hair shiny and takes good care of my hair with temperature control.
The quality is generally very good, but the price is not the cheapest however it does protect your hair which is important compared to cheaper options. Overall happy with the performance and quality."

If you learned to curl your hair with straighteners instead of using a curling wand, the L'Oreal SteamPod 4.0 Hair Straightener & Styling Tool creates waves and curls like a dream. If you’re not familiar with the tech behind it, it does things a little differently. It uses an integrated mini water tank to steam hair which promises to cause less damage than conventional tools.

Whether you're looking for loose curls, trendy mermaid hair or a classic beach wave look, a hair waver tool will help you achieve the perfect style. Amika's Deep Waver is super easy to use and thanks to the triple barrel aesthetic you won't get any kinks in your hair.

Customer review: "This tool is exceptional! Right now I own six wavers and they have all given me the same result - creases, falling flat... just never quite what I was looking for! After being FED UP, I finally bought this one, and I'm so glad I did! It is exactly what I was going for! It takes my fine, thin, pencil-straight hair, to BIG, voluminous/bouncy waves that I never knew my hair was capable of! Thank you, Amika!"

Everyone knows that heat can be cruel to your hair, so if you're looking to reduce the amount you use heated hair curlers, using a heatless curler will do wonders for your hair.
