You can clamp the ends of your hair and spin the iron upward toward your head, wrapping long hair around the barrel to create a perfectly round ringlet, which can then be finger-brushed to look more tousled.īecause the clamp is almost flush to the barrel, you can easily wrap your hair around the barrel and clamp as if it's a wand. This iron features an extra long, straight barrel with a clamp that spans the length of the iron. All of this is the case with our Best Value pick, the InfinitiPro by Conair Nano Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron 1-Inch. That’s no surprise: The brand makes quality products at reasonable prices, and they’re typically very beginner-friendly. My first-ever curling iron was one from Conair. Heat adjustability or additional sizes could improve this iron, but it’s a clear winner. For safety purposes, the iron automatically shuts off after 30 minutes. It has a well-placed kickstand that prevents the hot iron from teetering or tipping onto your vanity. The wand is lightweight and has a cool-tip end to keep you from burning your neck and forehead (we’ve all been there). In terms of mechanics, the GHD has a single power button, which you have to hold down for a good two seconds, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally turning it off mid-style. Another (smaller) bummer: It only comes in the one barrel size. That temperature is appropriate to give a great curl to pin-straight hair, but the option of adjustability for other hair types would’ve been more ideal. The only downside is that the iron doesn’t have heat adjustability-it can only hold a steady 365✯. The most impressive feature, though, is that it heats up in about six seconds-faster than any other iron I tested-and alerts you with a loud chime when it reaches 365✯. The slight taper and the gritty finish of the barrel keeps the hair from sliding down as it can do with a barrel that has a super-glossy finish.
Both of these traits keep the curls from molding into a strategically tapered curl, which can sometimes look too perfect and unnatural.
The GHD has a unique design, with a tapered barrel that starts off round and graduates to a flat oval at the top, tapering from 1-inch to 0.9-inch. Whether I want soft beach waves for an undone look or tight curls for a classic-yet-voluminous style, I can achieve that with the GHD. In every way, the GHD Curve Creative Curl Wand is exactly that. The perfect wand is also intuitive, heats up quickly, and makes the sometimes painstaking process of styling my hair all-around easier. When I think of my ideal curling wand, it’s one that grants me room for creativity.
