Once curled my hair stayed wavy till I next washed it, with only a slight drop. Shop now Net-a-Porter. Best curling wand for: Versatility. This has three interchangeable wands that can be attached to the base, a tapered cone, a large barrel, and a medium-sized barrel that I used for the picture. It gave my hair soft, fluffy waves that could be styled with a spritz of sea salt spray for a beachy effect, or brushed out, to create old-school hollywood waves.
Staying power: The softness of the waves means they look in-cred-ible, but it also means they don't have quite as much staying power - load up on hairspray to avoid any drop. Best curling tong for: Travelling. First things first, this teeny-tiny curling tong is adorable. It's so small but somehow the barrel is big enough to give clean, ribbon-like curls.
Being a travel-size tong, it's shorter than a regular styler, so if you have long ish hair like me, you may run out of room on the tong to curl the ends. This means, curls will look defined through the top-to-mid-lengths, but looser at the ends. Whilst the mini tongs will save space in your suitcase, the one downside is the cord length, it's only 1. Staying power: The high heat means hair will hold onto ringlets till you next wash, but be sure to prep strands with a heat protector to avoid unnecessary damage.
Shop now Amazon. It takes a little while to get the hang of this styler, but once you do, it delivers b-e-a-u-tiful waves. You have to take a inch wide section of hair and pass it through the plates to begin, then you press a button and the barrel begins to rotate.
As it turns, the strand of hair is pulled through the plates and twisted, creating a soft curl. Essentially, it curls hair in the same way as you can with straighteners, but the rotating barrel makes it easy for the clumsy of us to cheat smooth, well-rounded waves.
Staying power: This gave me beachy, Victoria's Secret-style waves that lasted two days. Best hair waver for: Mermaid waves. If you fancy channeling that inner mermaid, this is the styler to invest in. Staying power: The higher the heat setting the better the staying power, my waves lasted around two days.
Best curling wand for: A faux blow-dry. If you love the look of a bouncy blow-dry but have no idea how to recreate the look at home, you need this waving wand in your life. The barrel is huge, at 36mm it's one of the fattest I've found, which means rather than giving hair a curl, it simply gives a soft 'S' bend to the sections. After styling, hair appears fuller and there's a thickness through the mid-lengths and ends. Temperature: The temp control means you can adjust between high, medium and low heat, or opt for the automatic temperature setting.
Staying power: It's dependant on your hair type. Here is a failsafe way to successfully create this look.

The brand has infused the ceramic barrel of this wand with coconut and UV filters, which help shield hair from the worst of the heat and smooth out stray strands in the process. It also prevents hair from slipping during styling, so you can wrap each piece around any spot of the mm barrel and not have to rejig it while it sets in place. This was really easy to use, warming up in 30 seconds and styling a whole head of thick, coarse hair in less than 10 minutes.
We especially liked the ability to customise the temperature, allowing those with finer hair to keep heat to a minimum. Curls on the thinnest and widest parts of the barrel lasted just as long as each other, but we preferred the look of those styled on the 38mm end. By releasing conditioning ions, it blow dries, neutralises frizz and boosts shine, all while straightening or curling hair.
To do the latter, we attached the conical curling attachment and wrapped each strand as we would around a regular wand. It was tricky to nail the technique at first, but we had it down after a few minutes. We attempted styling on both damp and dry hair but definitely preferred the finish on pre-dried hair — while it did the trick both times, the curls fell flat earlier in the day when styled on freshly-washed hair.

A worthy investment. Perfectly sized to slip into your bag, this curler is designed to transform your hair on the go. This is great for creating big, bouncy curls, but the issue with such a comparatively short wand is that those with longer hair might struggle to style the whole head.
