Envie Cordless Automatic Hair Curler: The best automatic curler for styling on the go Reputable retailers always offer warranties or guarantees on their goods. These warranties can actually provide you with much more generous coverage than your statutory rights, so it’s important to know when you do or don’t have one. Sometimes you need to register with the retailer to be eligible, so it’s important to read the fine print.

The ceramic-coated barrel heats up to GHD’s optimum styling temperature of 185ºC in under 30 seconds. Ultra-zone technology monitors the temperature constantly to ensure even heating, with no hot spots that may result in damaging the hair. The tongs glide easily through each section of hair without snagging, and create big and bouncy waves that feel soft after styling. The Curve Soft has a cool tip so it’s easy to hold the tongs in the right place on your head when styling, and there’s an automatic switch-off after 30 minutes for safety. A good curler for creating volume and glamorous big curls on longer hair.During testing, we confirm the weight and dimensions of the curling tool, as well as any extras that are included in the box. We time how long the tool takes to heat up after switching on. We then note how long it takes to style a full head of hair, taking into account the hair length and texture that we are testing it on. We evaluate the overall ease of use of the curling tool, how it feels in the hand and the finish and feel of the hair after curling. Finally, we note how well the styles last over a typical day. Reduce frizz and stop static from occurring thanks to the tourmaline and ionic conditioning properties of the tool. There's also a ceramic coating which ensures the barrel glides through the hair leaving you with gorgeously smooth curls. Instant Curl technology To put the Airstyler to the ultimate test, we spent a month using it exclusively. We styled our hair for everyday events, for meetings and for nights out. Some days we went big and bouncy, others we opted for straight and sleek. We also styled our hair with waves, and curls. You might have your sight set on a specific product, but chances are that there’s plenty of other products out there that do the exact same thing. It’s very rare to find a product that’s truly unique, and unless you’re buying parts for repairs, you can usually find multiple items that will suit your needs.

It doesn’t quite create the same finish as a pair of straighteners would, but then it also doesn’t subject your hair to as much heat exposure and potential damage. It also gives you more control over how much volume you want. Tresemme’s Volume Loose Waves curling wand has a 28mm longer-length ceramic barrel that’s ideal for wrapping around long hair. Since the tool is a wand rather than a tong, there’s no clamp; you’ll need to use the heat-proof glove included in the box to protect your fingers while winding hair around the barrel. Nevertheless, the length of the barrel makes this easy. There’s a handy heat-proof mat in the box as well, upon which to rest your wand while it’s heating up.The slightly scary-looking Kiss InstaWave comes with a rotating barrel featuring prongs that are designed to detangle the hair as you curl. As such, it’s particularly good for dry or frizzy hair that tends to snag on other curlers. Although the prongs look a little alarming, the tool works in a very similar way to others on our list – section the hair, insert a tress into the iron, and press a switch to wrap and curl the hair. The ceramic barrel leaves hair feeling soft and glossy, and it’s easy to change direction as required for natural alternating curls or a more stylised uniform look. Section your hair and apply a heat-protective spray, then clamp the hair at the top of the section where you want the curl to start. Twist the curling iron and move it slowly down towards the roots, allowing the length of the hair to wind around the tongs as you do so (gently pressing on the clamp to open it a little will allow your hair to slide through). You won’t need to take the tongs all the way to the ends – your hair will spiral a few times around the tongs creating a ringlet even if you leave the last inch or so out. With the hair wrapped into a spiral shape, hold the tool in place for a few seconds and then release the clamp to let your ringlet loose. When positioned facing south, the rotating buttons are a little harder to navigate and you lose some of the lift and volume. You’ll also find your arms aching more because you’re holding them above your head. On the plus side, you get smoother curls as the hot air is blowing down the shaft.

We record the time taken to style a full head of hair, noting both the hair length and hair texture we’re testing on, and, whenever possible, we test on more than one hair type. We also evaluate the overall ease of use of the curler, how it feels in the hand, and the softness and feel of the hair after curling. We also confirm the weight and dimensions of the curler and note any extras included in the box. Finally, we note how well the curled styles last during a typical day of wear.Long- and large-barrelled tongs usually have a clamp to hold the hair in place while you curl, and can be used to create super-sleek, Hollywood-style curls. Curling wands, which have a conical tip, are more suitable for short to medium-length hair. We’ve included some longer-length wands in our roundup for those who prefer to curl their hair this way. What should my curling tongs for longer hair be made from? BaByliss’s Curl Secret is an easy-to-use automatic curler for creating bouncy curls, using ceramic and ionic technology to protect the hair from heat damage. You insert the end of your hair into the jaw-like entrance to the Curl Secret, then wait while a small motor pulls the hair into the device and wraps it around for you.

The most important thing you’ll need for curling longer hair is a tong with a longer barrel. This will allow you to wrap larger sections of hair around the tongs at a time, reducing the overall amount of time required to style a full head of long hair. A long barrel also means you can wind long hair vertically around the length of the barrel to create pretty ringlets, rather than rolling up from the tip of the hair. Using the length of the barrel to wind vertically means the root and upper sections of the hair are heated for the same length of time as the tips, resulting in longer-lasting curls that are less likely to drop.
