While straighteners have definitely had their moment the new crop of curling wands are a game-changer for anyone who wants to add curl, texture and volume to their hair.
From stylers with interchangeable wands for different effects, to the right barrel to choose for the look you want, they are all here...
Loose curls If it’s loose, pretty curls you’re after the large barrel on this wand will deliver just that. Use through the mid-lengths of longer hair to add volume and movement to lengths. Cloud Nine The Curling Wand, £79
Texture If it’s texture, not curl, that you’re after then this shape is what will create it. The flat, conical wand adds ‘kink’ and beachy waves that really last. Ghd Curve Creative Curl Wand, £120
Super tight curls The 10mm barrel on this wand creates super tight curls and the barrel is long enough to wind even long hair around. Babyliss Tight Curls Wand, £24.99
Curls Vs waves Another great choice if you love options thanks to three interchangeable wands: a stick wand for super-tight curls, a curling wand for drop curls and a bubble wand for beachy waves. The wands heat up to 200 degrees, but the keratin and argan oil infused barrels actually protect hair while you style. Trevor Sorbie Curls and Waves Multi Styler, £45
From perfect curls to defined spirals If you don’t like to stick to the same style then the versatility of this wand means you can create everything from loose, dishevelled curls to defined spiral curls. The tourmaline/ceramic plates will help prevent hair damage no matter how much you style… T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand, £199
