14 best curling wands | Tried-and-tested 2024

This large-barrel curling tong has a ceramic coating that ensures waves look smooth and shiny. It's a 32mm width, so if you want loose yet polished-looking curls, it's worth investing in.

Yes, it's expensive, but this curling tong has been designed with the 'user experience' in mind. It has a cool-touch tip so you can avoid burning those fingers, a super-long cord, and it automatically switches itself off if left unattended for 30mins or more - so you don't get that 'did I leave my tongs on?' fear, every morning on the way to work.

Temperature: Heating up to 185°C, it'll curl hair without damaging the strands.

Staying power: Looser waves have a tendency to drop out much faster than tighter curls, especially if - like me - your hair is pin-straight. That being said, my waves stayed intact the whole day and evening (yes, I did load up on hairspray after styling). The following day my hair still had a slight bend and volume to it.
