BEST CURLING IRON FOR LONG HAIR
Sick of running out of space on your wand to curl your long hair, or having to wrap hair multiple times over itself? This one-inch wide tool works especially well for longer hair thanks to the extended length of the barrel, which the brand claims is 2 inches longer than most curling irons. Though we haven’t tested this pick in the Lab, fans love that their style lasts for hours, with one reviewer saying her “curls last the whole day and I still can have loose curls the next day.”
This clever iron is actually three tools in one: A flat iron, a curling wand and a curling iron. The 1 ¼-inch barrel is perfect for glam waves and curls, and in Lab tests, it scored in the middle of the pack in everything from ease of use to performance to user satisfaction. Our short-haired testers particularly loved it, saying “it was easy to maneuver and keep from touching the face or scalp,” and that it felt the safest of all options with a low burn risk. Plus, the short barrel and compact design makes it foolproof to use on shorter tresses.
