Hair clips: When heat styling hair, one easy way to make a style last longer is to use hair clips to hold the waves in place until they have fully cooled. If you keep them in at the inside point of each wave until the hair cools, they will last longer. The barrels use a unique grip technology ceramic that prevents the hair from slipping out of the barrels during styling, as well as an integrated “optiheat” sensor that provides consistent heat across the barrel for longer-lasting styles. In terms of heat, the Remington waver has five heat settings, including a Pro+ setting that sits at 185°C, which is the optimum heat for maintaining healthy hair.

Namely, having tested other triple-barrel wavers, the lever mechanism on the Mermade waver feels much stiffer. This can make it difficult to use, especially if you have small or weak hands. Material: Just as with other heat-styling products, most hair wavers are made using ceramic-coated heating plates. That’s because ceramic coatings have been proven to boost shine and decrease frizz on the hair, which ensures the results look as sleek as possible. Some high-end heat styling tools also infuse their ceramic plates with smoothing oils to amplify this effect and keep the hair as healthy as possible. Other hair wavers come with ionic technology, which can further reduce frizz by counteracting static charges in the hair. Heat gloves: As you’d expect, heat gloves help to make sure you don’t burn your hands. However, they’re not as necessary to use alongside hair wavers as with a curling wand because you don’t need to hold the hair directly onto the hot barrels. For most people, therefore, a heat glove shouldn’t make a huge difference to how they style their hair. Like the previous item, the Babyliss 2667U is made with a ceramic chamber that heats softly, giving the hair a shiny finish. However, this device is more advanced as the hair is automatically drawn into the chamber.

Barrel size: The barrel size of hair wavers refers to the diameter of each barrel and usually sits between 19mm and 32mm. With thinner barrels, you’ll get tighter waves, while larger barrels create looser, more relaxed waves. It’s designed well, too: aside from the obvious triple barrel design, the handle is a comfortable shape and the lever has just the right amount of tension to hold the hair without being difficult to open. The temperature controls are also intuitive to control, and the temperature is shown on an LCD screen built into the handle. The main caveat is that this styler has no automatic safety shut-off which means this isn’t the device for you if you’re prone to leaving your heat stylers on by accident. Ideal for thin hair, tourmaline curling tongs have a heating surface containing a fine tourmaline powder. The advantage of this option is that it produces a greater number of negative ions that flatten cuticles and help moisturize the hair.What is the best curling tong? These devices come in three types: ceramic, tourmaline and titanium. Apart from the type of the surface material, another essential factor to consider is the barrel size. Small and thin ones produce tight curly ringlets while larger barrels are good for loose curls. Also, make sure that your curling tong offers variable heat settings so that you can select the right temperature. How Curling Wands/Tongs and Auto Curlers Differ

Unlike the clamp design of other wavers, this one features a triple barrel design, which opens and closes using a lever. As each barrel is the same shape, the waver creates a uniform “S” shaped wave that looks clean and polished. After styling at 180°C, the waves looked shiny and sleek all day and lasted for two days without dropping out. Another automatic hair curler, the Remington Curl Revolution, uses instant curl technology and an automatic feed. It comes with 5 temperature settings, a digital screen, and a 2.5-meter cord. The unit heats up to 230°C and is suitable for all hair lengths. Ceramic curling tongs are the most popular ones and recommended for hair prone to damage. Made with a smooth surface, they distribute the heat evenly and deliver healthy negative ions. Adjustable barrels: Some hair wavers advertise themselves as two-in-one (or more) products. That’s because they can be used in various ways, or adjusted, to create different styles of waves, such as tighter and looser waves. This can improve the versatility of a hair waver to no end, but normally can’t give you long-lasting loose waves like their fixed barrelled counterparts. Wavy hair looks great when it’s sleek and shiny, but even the beachiest of waves can be ruined by unruly frizz. This waver from Revamp is our favourite for creating shiny waves because its ceramic heated plates are infused with Progloss’ unique blend of keratin, argan and coconut oils which nourish, add shine and protect the hair from heat damage. It’s also got powerful ionic jets to reduce frizz on the hair.

Babyliss Deep Waves Styler: Best hair waver for long-lasting waves Another central element in our testing is using them on our hair. Not only will we time how long it takes us to wave our hair using each waver, but we’ll also take note of wave size and style, shine levels and how long the waves last in our hair before dropping out. When styling, we always test using the same 180°C heat level, and we don’t use any styling products aside from heat protection spray to protect our hair from heat damage. That means our testing is the same across all wavers. If you’re a fan of cordless heat styling tools, you might want to consider the Babyliss 9000 cordless hair waver. It’s a very convenient tool that creates great waves on the go, but its limited temperature range and expensive price tag mean it won’t be for everyone.
