BEST INTERCHANGEABLE CURLING WAND
This wand has four interchangeable barrel sizes and styles, so it’s many tools in one at a reasonable price point. The medium and large barrels work for polished bouncy curls and beach waves, and as for the thinner barrels, nothing works better for fine-tuning natural curls. While we haven’t put it to the test in the Beauty Lab, one of our editors has used it nearly every day for over 10 years!
• Barrel size: ½-inch tapered barrel; 1-inch tapered barrel; 1½-inch straight barrel; 2-inch straight barrel
• Cord length: 11 feet
• Heat settings: Adjustable up to 450º
• Auto shut-off: Programmable
While we haven’t formally tested this pick in the Lab, it boasts over 14,000 reviews on Amazon, this ceramic coated wand is a crowd fave. The graduated barrel comes in a smaller ½-1-inch size for tighter curls and a larger 1-1½-inch size for looser waves. Reviewers love that this affordable curling wand will “curl your stick-straight hair into submission.” One of our editors says the finish on this wand is super smooth and because it also has a tapered end, you’ll have to hold hair in place carefully to prevent it from sliding off.
• Barrel size: 1-1½-inch taper
• Cord length: 5.9 feet
• Heat settings: 9 adjustable heat settings up to 410º
• Auto shut-off: 1 hour
