This particular tool features a small curling wand that tapers into a bulbous end, making it the perfect shape to add texture and movement to layered lengths and shorter styles — the narrower base reduces how much hair is shrunken into a curl.
To use, hold your curling wand with the wider end pointing downwards, wrap your hair until you love your end look.
Love the idea of a reverse-tapered curling iron but not ready to drop $100+ on a professional quality wand? We feel you. Sometimes it's best to master the basics before investing in a high-quality tool. But just because it's cheaper doesn't mean you can't still come out on top with a killer head of natural-looking curls.
To use, follow the same downward winding technique, et voila! Gorgeous, sleek hair-wand curls.
An oldie but goodie. This affordable wand gives the most bang for its buck by creating smooth, seamless curls that last without a single spritz of hairspray. Yup, it's that good.
To use, choose the appropriate heat setting for your hair (typically the finer your hair is, the lower the temperature can be to still create long-lasting curls).
Feeling indecisive? Why choose one barrel when you can have three? With this wand, the interchangeable barrels offer countless looks -- from defined spiral hair wand curls to beachy waves. What's more, the tourmaline and ceramic surfaces smooth flyaways, impart shine and lock your style for a look that lasts.
To use, choose your barrel, divide dry hair in sections and wrap your hair with the wider end of the barrel toward your roots and the narrower end toward your ends.
If you're unsure which shape and size really equates to the best curling wand, why narrow it down to three when you can buy this five-piece set? The titanium barrels are the newest and most advanced technological development used and preferred by professional stylists due to their lightweight material and superior heat conductivity.
To use, simply click the barrel of your choice into the base and wait for your tool to heat up. From there, twist your hair around the barrel, allowing it to mold to the shape for 10-15 seconds before letting go of your ends and allowing your curl to bounce freely.
