Product Information

The beauty of the ghd Curve range is that they do a curling wands* and curling tongs*. That means you can buy the one that suits you best. You can opt for a multitude of different looks. ghd are known for quality and the Curve range is no different, delivering long lasting curls and waves. When did finding the best curling wand get so damn confusing? There are countless styles of tongs out there and they all give different curls; from tightly defined ringlets to loose beachy waves. But how do you know which shape wand will work for you? Hopefully you will be able to understand the type of waves I mean with the photograph above. I personally love the effect that the wand gives as I’m not a fan of tight curls. I’d much rather have looser looking waves. For me, the waves lasted for a good few hours. However, they did appear to have dropped significantly by the end of the day. This was the case even with a mist of hairspray to keep them in place. Ceramic and tourmaline: these curling irons are the most popular, as well as being among the safest. If you curl your hair often, this is the material you should go for as it maintains a consistent temperature throughout the barrel. It releases negative ions that smooth the hair’s cuticle, eliminate frizz and make it appear shiny.

What exactly do you need to curl your hair? Well, some people may not want to use heat, so you can use No Heat Rollers*, or plait your hair when damp for a wavy look.

During testing, we measure the time the tool takes to heat up after being switched on, and then how long it takes to style a full head of hair (noting the hair length and texture that we are testing on). We also evaluate the overall ease of use of the curling wand, how it feels in the hand, and the finish and feel of the hair after curling. We also note how well styles last over a typical day of wear.

It’s suitable for all hair types. However, due to the high heat, those with fine hair should proceed with caution. Also, don’t forget to use a heat protectant so you can be sure that your hair will stay healthy despite exposure to high heat.The curls will hold for a few days. If you have stubborn, unmanageable hair, this can be the solution to all of your woes. A finalist for the 2015 Beauty Magazine Awards, you’re pretty much guaranteed of the high quality of this tool. Every curling wand tends to have a slight learning curve, especially if you haven’t used one before. You’ll get used to how to maneuver this product easily, though, so you shouldn’t worry about its use at all. It may seem like a good idea to go for a curling wand that reaches the hottest temperatures, but keep in mind that such a model won’t always deliver the best results. While a higher temperature will speed up styling, it could also cause more breakage and leave hair looking lifeless – which isn’t a look you want.

Maneuverability is not an issue with this Lee Stafford hair tool as it comes with a swivel cord that makes it easy to position whichever way you need it to go to curl all your hair with ease. Metal steam: This type of barrel can be good for thin hair that doesn’t easily hold curl. It releases steam, which helps replace the moisture the metal removes. The steam also helps the hair hold curls in place for longer. Lee Stafford is a brand that I’ve grown up using. However, this is the first hair tool that I’ve tried from Lee Stafford. The Coco Loco Wonderball Wand features a 25mm barrel, swivel cord and a tourmaline-ceramic barrel that is infused with coconut oil. This is the feature I was most interested in. It claims that the coconut oil within the coating of the barrel helps to leave the hair smooth, soft and shiny as the heat from the curler transfers the coconut oil onto each hair shaft. Lee Stafford Coco Loco Wonderball Wand Use heat... we all know that heat can cause damage, but when you're hair is super stubborn, there's no escaping that you need the temperature to be on the high side. Make sure you protect the hair the best you can with a heat protection spray* and use a good ceramic heated tong/wand.Well, I've tried to take some of the mystery out of curler shopping, by showing you exactly what each style of tong/wand/styler does to the hair (or my hair, to be more precise). Because I don't know about you, but when it comes to beauty I want need visuals. I want to see if the results are worth dropping all that hard earned cash on.

The protective cool tip provides a safe place to grip the tool, while the nifty safety stand means you’ll never run the risk of burning your carpet – or your house down, since the curling tong will automatically switch off when left unattended for 30 minutes. A ceramic coating helps to keep hair in good health, and a 3m cord allows for ultimate flexibility during styling. Finally, we confirm the weight and dimensions of the wand, and note any extras that are included in the box. To provide better control and keep you from burning the tips of your fingers, this curling iron is equipped with a cool tip. You might still need to wear a heat-resistant glove if you want a more polished result, though. To get a long lasting curl, heated hair tongs*, wands* and rollers* are the best options. Hair Straighteners* can be used for a softer look too. Chrome and gold: barrels made from chrome or gold heat very well, but they won’t combat frizz. They might be cheaper, but it probably isn’t worth the risk – they have hot spots that could damage your hair.A wand hasn't got a clamp, so you must wrap the hair around with your hand and hold it there. The good thing is you can pull the hair taut for a tighter curl, or gentler for a looser look. Watch out, these take practice so watch your hands! Before now, I’ve only tried ‘normal’ curling wands as well as the Babyliss Curl Secret. So, this unique looking curling wand was interesting to try out. I’ve used it quite a few times now and it is surprisingly easy to use. This is particularly the case as with my normal curlers my hair can slide off, but that doesn’t happen with this wand.
