Ceramic barrels heat evenly and reduce damage. Tapered barrels (thick to thin) give natural waves. Look for auto shutoff (turns off after 60 minutes) and a heat-protective glove. Max temperature 400F is enough for most hair.
The Bed Head wand uses ceramic tourmaline for even heat and reduced frizz. The 1.25-inch barrel gives loose beach waves. Cool tip and auto shutoff make it safe. 15,000+ reviewers say it works on thick and coarse hair.
Anyone who wants beach waves or loose curls at home. Especially fine to medium hair that holds curl. Not for very short hair (needs at least shoulder length).
A 1.25-1.5 inch barrel gives loose beach waves. 1 inch for defined curls, 3/4 inch for tight ringlets.
Bed Head gives salon waves at $35. Always use a heat protectant spray before curling.
