The Curling Iron You Should Use for Your Hair Type

There's a reason GHD's classic iron has a cult-like following. Its shape allows you to create a variety of curls—from classic bouncy spirals to messy waves—all at a safe temperature that won’t damage strands. Plus, its ceramic-coated barrel guarantees snag-free styling every time. 

This Bed Head curling iron's corkscrew shape is the secret to keeping spiral curls tight and bouncy. Since it's clamp-free, you'll never wind up with any dents from any hand slips. 

If your hair is extremely thick, Dry Bar's iron with a large, rotating barrel makes it easier to style curls. 

Straight hair has the tendency to slip and slide out of curling wands. This Revlon wand eliminates the struggle with its textured barrel that helps straight hair stay in place as you set the curl. 

Whether you want to enhance your natural waves or you're on quest to perfecting an effortless undone beachy look, celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa's Beachwaver is your best bet. The cult-favorite hot tool has a barrel that rotates in both directions that curls hair with the touch of a button. No wonder it's the secret behind the Victoria Secret angels' signature beachy waves

If have tight curls or rock your natural hair texture, an iron with a slim barrel such as Hot Tools 3/8" Professional Hair Curling Iron makes it easy to pinpoint specific strands and touch them up for added definition.
