What to look for
Safety first
Don’t worry, there’s no need to grab your hard hat and safety boots just yet as there are rigorously tested safety features in all ghd hair styling products. Our professional stylists recommend purchasing curlers that automatically turn off after 30 minutes to an hour of not being used. With these features, you’ll never have that horrible ‘Did I turn my curlers off?!’ thought halfway through your night out.
Ceramic coating
Try and be on the look out for curlers with ceramic coating. Older styling tools have metal plates which over time can damage your hair, whereas ceramic coated plates feature the latest technology that helps protect your hair from heat damage, while still giving you that salon-style ‘do.
A cool tip
For greater ease when curling your hair, look for wands and tongs with cool tips/ends so that you can hold both ends of your curler. This allows you to have greater control over the type of curls you create and get that insta-worthy look every time.
Another indicator of the best curling tongs are their heat settings. The most versatile options on the market have different heat settings that will ensure you’ll get those beautiful, flowing waves no matter what your hair texture is. For those after a curler that will cause the least amount of heat damage, a large amount of research has shown that the optimum temperature for styling most hair types is around the 185 degrees mark which, yep you’ve guessed it, is the exact same temperature the ghd Curve range reaches.
So now that you’ve got a pretty good idea about the perfect curler for your hair (we hope) and how to tell the best from the rest, it’s time to have a look at some of the curling tongs and wands as picked out by the pros.
