Hair Curlers & Wavers

This collection sits within the Electricals & Accessories group under Hair, and is scoped to curling irons, wands and wavers. Confirmed directly from the live page: two brands feature — ghd and Beauty Works.

Top Brands Available in Hair Curlers & Wavers

ghd's Curve range dominates — Classic Curl Tong, Soft Curl Tong, Creative Curl Wand and Classic Wave Wand, plus a Creative Curl Wand Gift Set bundled with an oval brush and heat mat. Beauty Works' Flat Iron Wave Bar comes in two barrel sizes (38mm and 25mm), positioned as a more affordable alternative to the ghd range.

Common Problems Customers Face

A few different needs bring people to this collection:

• Wanting defined curls versus loose waves — different barrel shapes and techniques produce noticeably different results.
• Damage concerns from clamp-based curling irons — clampless wands are generally considered gentler, since there's no crimp mark at the base of each curl.
• Wanting one tool for multiple curl styles — a versatile wand reduces the need for several separate tools.
• Budget versus premium positioning — not everyone needs or wants to spend at ghd's price point for an occasional-use tool.

How This Collection Addresses Those Problems

Here's how the two brands map to those needs:

• Defined curls — ghd's Classic Curl Tong (with clamp) gives more control for tight, defined curls.
• Looser waves without a clamp mark — ghd's Creative Curl Wand and Classic Wave Wand are both clampless, suited to a more natural-looking finish.
• A versatile, all-in-one option — the Creative Curl Wand Gift Set bundles styling tools together for a more complete routine.
• A lower-cost alternative — Beauty Works' Flat Iron Wave Bar offers two barrel sizes at a significantly lower price point than the ghd range.

How to Choose the Right Curler or Waver

A few starting points:

1. Smaller barrels give tighter curls; larger barrels give looser waves — barrel size is the main factor in the finished result.
2. Clampless wands generally suit a more natural, undone finish, while clamp-based tongs give more precise, defined curls.
3. A heat protectant is essential regardless of which tool you choose.

None of this replaces checking a specific model's own instructions.

Getting Curls to Last Longer

Curls generally hold better on hair that's completely dry before styling, since any residual moisture can cause the curl to drop faster once it cools. Pinning each curl in place with a clip while it cools, rather than letting it hang loose immediately, is a technique many stylists use to extend how long a curl lasts through the day.

Usage and Care Tips

Working in small sections, rather than large chunks of hair, generally gives more even, defined results. Letting curls cool fully before brushing or running fingers through them helps the curl pattern hold for longer.

For flat, straight styling instead, Hair Straightener covers that separately, alongside Heat Protectant for preparation.
