20 Best Curling Wand For Thin Hair (2023 Updated)

The Hot Tools Signature Series Curling Iron is a decent economical curling iron. I got the 1. 25 inch barrel so I could create loser curls and waves than my 1 inch curler. I like that it has the swivel base and wire that Hot Tools is famous for.

The cord length is long enough to curl comfortably but not so long that there is a lot of excess cord. I like that there is an on off switch and that the temperature dial is very simple. The range of temperatures is really nice to adjust for different hair types and styles.

The iron heats up relatively quickly but I wish there was an indicator to show when it has reached the desired temperature. My lower end budget iron has this indicator, so I was surprised this iron didn’t.

My straight fine hair had to use a higher temperature setting than was recommended for the curls to hold. I prefer a curling iron without a kickstand because it sometimes gets in the way of curling but that is a personal preference.

While this iron looks very similar to other curling irons made by Hot Tools, this is from their more economical line and isn’t labeled as being made of 24K Gold like their higher end lines. The handle is made of a hard plastic and seems pretty sturdy.

I found that if I held my finger higher on the plastic lever, it did feel very warm. I found that the clamp was adequate and I didn’t experience a lot of hair pulling but it was also not the smoothest to release my hair.

Overall, I think this is a decent choice for an economical curling iron and for people who just want to curl their hair occasionally.

I have long, thick, slightly wavy hair that looks crazy air dried. I always have so much trouble finding a curling iron that will actually work with my hair ! I’m so glad that I took a leap of faith and started using this curling iron! After curling my hair with this curling iron / wand my hair looks 1,000 times more polished.

And it gives me beyond beautiful curls !! I don’t even have to touch them up like I normally have to ! They are so full and big beautiful curls! I did sleep on them and of course I touched up around my face and the back ! Literally doesn’t take any time at all! It cut the time in half that it takes me to curl my hair just because I wasn’t having to go back and keep curling , they stayed and my hair held the curls so good! This curling iron/wand is a miracle worker for me and has honestly changed my life ! No more struggling and getting aggravated when trying to curl my hair , I have finally found something that actually WORKS! I highly recommend to anyone out there ! Definitely will NOT be disappointed!! I’ve gone 6 days just touching up curls or letting it look like loose waves and adding dry shampoo.

This curling iron is top notch and worth every penny !! It’s the best!.

easily the worst curling iron i’ve ever tried. I had an iron from an only slightly less reputable brand than this one and I honestly never wanted to buy another but alas it stopped working and I searched for a replacement.

I heard a lot about this brand so I bought this one around a year ago. I immediately tried it without using any different styling products. For reference I have wavy hair about armpit length, medium thickness and have never had issues with my hair holding a curl, I only ever needed a small amount of hair spray (worked with a variety of irons) but the “curls” that are produced from this product last less than a minute.

I have adjusted the heat and tried DOZENS of hairsprays or styling products to hold this curl and nothing works. It barely curls my hair and even the hottest setting doesn’t do anything. I gave up today on this iron I wish I never wasted my time on it.

I get a better curl just scrunching like crazy with a dollar store mousse. It’s completely trash.

This curling iron is one or my favorites, and ive owned tons of different brands and styles etc. This one is nicely made, it makes my curls beautiful and it has a temperature setting so you can decide how hot you want to make the curling iron.

It is gold so that’s a nice touch and makes it different than alot of the other curling irons out there. The handle is nice and has an etched piece where your thumb or fingers go so it’s nicer to hold onto that other ones I’ve used.

This heats up extremely fast and so that’s a big plus, especially for someone like me who is often running late or in a hurry! Overall i would recommend this curling iron, and the hot tools brand, to beginners, and professionals alike! It is great! It can be a little spendy, depending on what you’re used to spending on hair tools, I would say it is worth spending the money on it.

You can tell a noticeable difference in this tool vs other tools that are of comparison.

Now I am more of a straight hair girl, I always flat iron my hair but of course with how long my hair is, it can take a while. But then for Christmas I was gifted with the hot brush from the brand BedHead from my cousin and that cut the time in half for me to blow dry and straightening my hair and it was freaking’ amazing! Now I was in the store and I wanted to try this to kind of spruce things up with my hair and I was kind of hesitant because of the mixed reviews.

but after trying it out, OMG!!!!!! I LOVED IT! For a first timer using a curling iron, I fell in love with it. It heats up fast and depending on the kind of hair you have, honestly, you only need about 3-5 seconds to get that right curl for you! I really like this!!!! BEDHEAD YOURE KILLING’ IT!.

This is a pretty product but in my opinion, if you’re trying to just get a cheap under $30 iron spend a few $$ extra for the Infiniti Pro Rose Gold, which is also pretty. I am trying to replace an ancient Remington ceramic iron that I loved for years but didn’t get hot enough anymore and the clip finally broke.

And I don’t curl my hair often enough to justify a $100 curling iron. First I got an Infiniti Pro Rose Gold 1” — thinking, since the curls fell out from my old one maybe a tighter curl would take longer to loosen.

Wow did that thing curl! I didn’t realize how BUSTED the old one was till I used the Infiniti Pro. But then I realized I DIDN’T need the smaller barrel. At the store, no 1. 25” Infinity Pros, so I got this ceramic 1.

5” one instead. I KNOW the sizes are different so I’m not complaining that this ceramic one made looser curls or that they fell out immediately because of the size. But what I noticed was that this iron seemed much cooler, although both are labeled max 400 degrees.

I had to turn it up to 25, and then put on the Turbo to really get a decent curl. On the Infiniti Pro I got good curls at 15. I assume to get to 400 degrees on the ceramic, you have to put it on 30 Turbo.

I usually use 365 degrees (according to my digital display flat iron), so 25 Turbo might’ve been about that. I don’t want to buy a product I have to run at max setting right off the bat because as it gets older and loses the ability to heat, I usually crank the dial up until it dies completely – but I can’t if I need to max it out day 1.

It’s also possible the metal barrel on the Infiniti Pro contributes to a better curl over the ceramic barrel. Secondly, the on/off and turbo buttons are in a spot where I always kept pushing them and turning the curler off.

Once I was aware of it I was very careful not to push them but it made it awkward to hold the curler and difficult to rotate it easily. On the Infiniti Pro there is no button (turning the temp dial turns it on).

Some reviewers complain about that, that they accidentally rotate it while using it, but I think it was way less of an issue than these buttons. This one’s going back and I guess I will try ordering a 1.

25” Infiniti Pro…or maybe stepping up to a 1. 25” Hot Tools.

I just did a big chop today, and stopped by Ulta for a few things to help keep up with my new short bob. I usually go from long to short every 3 years, but seem to end up needing new tools every time I chop.

I got this curler on sale, but even the full proce is not too much for a Conair. I chose this particular curler because of the barrel size, the color, and the price. I have very fragile hair and extreme heat will cause it to break.

lowering the temp setting usually means weak curls that fall flat in 10 minutes or less. I followed the instructions and kept it at a 10 for fine hair. It heated up in about one minute. The heat was sufficient to create well defined curls which are still holding up well after I curled them.

I am impressed with this curler and pleased with my purchase.

This is a really nice curling iron. I like that when you rest it on surface it not only has an area in the middle to rest it on, but it also has a little piece at the very end tip so the curling iron does not touch the surface of your furniture.

The barrel is a gold color and the handle is very easy to squeeze. There are multiple heating selections and it is in all around comfortable product to use. It heats up fast and can heat up to 400° with what they call turbo boost.

It has 30 heat settings. Really love this product and feel that it does wonders to my hair. I do recommend it.

This is my favorite curling wand. It’s so easy to use. I get perfect curls every time. I usually wrap my hair starting mid shaft and wrap it going up. I leave it one for a little 6 seconds and then release.

Prefect curls. Every time! And I always get asked what I use whenever I go out. Love how it’s just a wand, easy to use and super fast, considering I have really thick hair. Will buy this again if needed.

I definitely recommend to anyone who wants fast beautiful curls.

Got this for Christmas maybe 5/6 years back and it’s my favorite wand. I’ve been able to use it with chin length and past shoulder length hair. Took a little adjusting to get used to not having to use a clip but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Great quality product still works as good as day one.

I have fine, wavy hair.

So I’m one of the many woman who cannot for the life of them use a regular curling iron 🤦🏼‍♀️ After years of trying I started getting really fed up with curl failure. I was about to drop $200 on a “fancy” curler when my friend told me to try a curling wand first so I purchased this one with the expectations that I would fail at using this as well.

I was so beyond happy when I used this for the first time. It made awesome curls and you can control if you want a tight curl or a more beachy style by how tight you wrap it. I slept in my curls the first night and they held up surprisingly well.

I had to touch up a few spots but I expected that as I always have to touch up my hair. The only thing I have to say is my curls did not hold up against humidity so I’m not sure if that is fault of the curling wand or my naturally wavy hair rebelling at being in the heat.

Overall I’m super pleased with this product especially as it was my first wand.

After having my hair dresser use a wand on me I was on the hunt for one I could use at home without breaking the bank! I found it! This wand curling iron with all of its attachments and extras is the perfect hair styling tool! It comes with the easy to use base that all 5 wands easily clip into.

They are easy to remove as well. They heat up fast and have an even temperature throughout the length of the wand. The set comes with a glove and 2 hair clips. The cord on the base is nice and long making it extremely easy to use and maneuver.

I love how quickly my hair curls and how long my curls last! The look and feel of the curls is better with the wand than with my traditional iron that clamps over the hair. With the different shapes of the 5 assorted wand attachments I can decide how tight or loose I want my curls to be, and they never look like a tube or sausage curl lol I definitely recommend this set to anyone looking to expand their curling iron game or getting this as a gift, it’s a fantastic gift-able set! #hair2020.

Tried this product from Amazon based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! This product heats up quickly. I love that it has different sizes for whatever look I am going for. Also works well for long thick hair! My picture is where I used the thickest wand size.

I love this curling wand set! It’s very effective and takes about 10-15 minutes to do a full set of hair. I am a first time user but i Love it! I would probably use a bit of hairspray fo make the curls hold.

If i could improve it id probably add more heat settings too!.

This is a good company and I am very satisfied with the curling iron. I would have given it 5 stars but for one thing. With my length of hair I use 3 curling irons, all 3 are connected to a power source.

Instead of turning all 3 on individually I turn on 1 switch. This curler does not stay on, so I have to manually turn it on every time after I have turned on the power source. It’s a small inconvenience but still an inconvenience.

Perhaps it has something to do with new curler regulations?.

I love this curler!!!! I prefer thick wave, so this was it for me. 1 1/2 inch. I like how it is easy to make a curl, and shows the lcd screen. Also as it stated it came with glove, so I did not have to buy extra.

I always wear it while using it so it prevents me from getting burn. Also the quality is great! Not like cheap material!.

I’m sure the curling iron is fine, however, after using it my pixie cut that is longer on top, my hair wasn’t curly. It was knappy, kinky.how can I change this. What was my mistake. Please respond.

Works great! Have used it multiple times and have zero complaints. For those leaving low ratings due to it not having a clamp, this clearly states that it is a wand. Wands do not have clamps. It is not a curling iron.

For those looking for a wand, this one works perfectly and is priced right. I have medium to long hair and it’s not super thick. This makes amazing curls and waves depending on how much hair you put on the wand at a time, how long you leave it on, and how long you catch and hold the curl in the palm of your hand after taking it off the wand.

I’ve found the catching and holding the curl until it cools trick is the key to long lasting curls/waves. There are some great videos to watch if you are just learning how to use a wand.

I’ve been looking to achieve Hollywood , voluminous, big curls/ waves with little effort. I bought hot rollers, but those did not last by the time I was ready to leave my house. Once I saw that this wand was in stock at my nearest ulta, I immediately grabbed so I can see if this would be better.

I never write reviews, but I really enjoyed using this tool, My only con is if you’re clumsy (like me) you’re probably gonna burn your neck and explain to your boyfriend that it’s a burn and not something else! 🥲 Overall, great tool; easy to use, adjustable heat setting, and EXTREMELY fast heat up process.

And for less than 50$, this is DEFINITELY something to gift to friends/family for the holidays. Have fun!.

My 13 y. o. niece asked for a curling iron for her birthday. My SIL (her mom) asked to please not get anything “too expensive. ” The price was perfect on this one. My niece was was so excited about this gift and promptly asked for a tutorial.

Showed her how to use it on my own hair first. Let me just say, Wow! Perfect curl. I actually liked it so much better than my current old curling iron that I went out and bought another one for myself! Some extra detail: My hair is fine in texture but I have a lot of hair.

It’s naturally slightly wavy. It’s dyed and I also have highlights. I’m 40 y. o. My niece has medium thick hair that’s naturally very wavy and has never been color-treated. We both had fantastic results with this curling iron.

She loves it too.

owned this for like a year and a half and it’s still my favorite tool i’ve ever bought. i barely use anything else. you can get nice bouncy curls with this or beautiful loose waves. i’ve found that my hair has remained healthy over the last year and a half of using this even though i use it 2-3 times per week.

it’s definitely a lot less damaging to your hair then other stylers i’ve had. very easy to use in my opinion. wish the cord was a little less bulky but that’s barely an issue. it’s definitely on the pricier side but i bought it one day when all of the dry bar tools were on sale.

worth every penny to me.

Wow,i am so happy with this wand ,i don’t know where to start haha. long story short if always wanted those beachy waves NOT RINGLETS and no matter how hard you tried and how many tools you bought it either never worked or falls straight or back to whatever condition it was.

This is truly a magic wand , my hair is thick ,bleached, freeze ball and from opening the box to have loosely curl my whole head i wasted 10 minutes! I just wanted to play with the wand and had the temp set to 260 only.

I had professionally done , yes i burned my thumb at first 15 secs of use ,but i quickly learned how to maneuver the wand. Btw i am the one who never knows how to style the hair or which way to hold the hot tool.

It is super easy just hold it with the tip down and twist your hair on top of the wand (not under) away from your face. I put my hair in a low bun,right after curling and combing waives out with a (silk hair tie) and continued with my life.

After several hours i let my hair down and i still had my waives and a perfect hair style ! I can definitely recommend this wand to anyone who struggles to get your hair done on your own. Also i own ghd platinum plus which i love and hate to curl my hair with.

For some reason i can easily curl my left side and cannot do my right side right lol ,the curls stay,BUT my hair damages visibly immediately and very bad from it. I can see the damage,i can smell it and i can feel it.

With this wand which i used only once ,but i can tell already i didn’t see the damage like with ghd,i didn’t smell it or felt it as of yet and i also can control the temperature with the wand unlike ghd you cannot.

Normally I’m the type of person who only curls my hair when I feel like dressing up or for special occasions because curling my hair has always been time consuming. I’ve used a cheap curling iron for the last 10 years and have always wanted to make the switch to a curling wand.

But I could never find a wand that worked for me and was user friendly. I would always burn my hand or would be disappointed with how my curls turned out. I have curled my hair every day since I bought this wand.

It’s easy to use, allows me to curl my hair quickly, give my hair volume and makes curls that I could never get with my curling iron. Yes, this curling wand is expensive and I felt so guilty spending so much on a hair tool, but it was such a great investment.

I can’t wait to try more Drybar products! Do yourself a favor and buy this curling wand!!.

Works amazingly. I went to beauty school and worked at a salon. First, you need to use a heat protectant if you want any integrity left in your hair follicles. Second, hair masks do wonders to keep your hair healthy after all that blow drying and styling.

Moreover, I see some people saying it doesn’t work. First of all, curls don’t hold in some peoples hair. Thats on you. Another reason why is that if your hair is so fried beyond belief and you need the hottest setting to curl it, then your hair is already very damaged.

Its best not to go above 200 degrees if you have thin hair, and you can get away with 200-300 for thick hair, but its still not ideal. If you regularly are unable to creat a curl and are using the highest setting on this, then yes your hair will be fried and curls with most irons won’t take to it because your hair follicle is literally dried, fried, shattered, and destroyed.

Now back to the iron, its amazing. It works perfectly every single time. Its wonderful for 60-90s hairstyles. When using a curling iron, let it preheat, and then when you’re going to curl a strand, choose a piece that isn’t too thick each time.

Skim over the strand once to preheat the strand, then go back in again and curl that same strand. It will stay longer that way and you won’t be frying your hair to a crisp. Beauty hurts but it doesn’t have to be burnt and crispy.

I really wanted an upgrade from my conair curling wand. I purchased this so excited for thick bouncy curls. However, I do not know if my curling iron is defective or not but I feel as though it won’t heat to the max temperature.

I set it at 400 degrees and hold the curl for upwards of 30 seconds. The curl still comes out loose and will lose any shape after about 2 hours. I find myself reaching for my old iron more. However, I really do love the barrel size and with the curls loosening within an hour it creates an effortless wavy hair look.

So I use this iron more for a wavy hair look than for curled hair.

Love everything about this! I have had MANY and currently have too many under my sink lol but this is my baby! It’s on its last leg after a few years of daily use and butt length hair! I finally found a replacement one of the same exact model just different color and almost cried! It is the only one that has curled my straight hair from root to tip and held the curl and not damaged.

Love the heat settings, love the cool tip, love the spring hold. Everything! My go to for life!.

I’ve had this about 3 weeks now and have used it loads of times since. My first impression when I opened the box was that it looks really nice, I love the black and rose gold colour of it. It has a shorter but wider barrel with a very sleek design.

It’s very lightweight, so incredibly easy to hold. It has very clear instructions and it’s very simple to use. I first used it on the lowest of the three settings as I have very fine and colour treated hair.

And I have since stuck to this setting. I found the air cool technology amazing. It switches on automatically once it has reached the desired temperature and it is also, surprisingly, very quiet. So you’ll be able to use this on those early mornings without fear of waking anyone up.

The extra long cable at 2. 5m is great, as its the cable tie that comes with it. So easy to keep neat and tidy. The heat mat, which you can use to wrap around the curler when not in use, is also an added bonus.

I found that I was able to curl my hair on no time at all, compared to other stylers, and I have finally been able to achieve the loose, natural looking curls I’ve been trying to get with other curlers and straighteners over the years.

The cooling technology means that your hair does not overheat at all when using it. Instead, you are left with effortless, sleek, shiny, soft curls which do not lose their shape or bounce. It’s very hard get shine on colour treated and highlighted hair.

This gives it shine. And my hair was cool too touch immediately. Wow! It worked really quickly, you just run it through your hair and that is it done. No need to hold it a long time to get a curl. So far less damage is being done, if anything, it helps your hair.

As when I ran my fingers through my hair after styling it, I never once felt as though it was either, pulling, snagging or scorched my hair at all. Quite the opposite, my hair feels healthy. Not something I normally say after using a heated appliance! All I can say is, buy it, you will fall in love with it, just as I have.

Thank you Babyliss for yet another amazing product.

If you like curling your hair with a straightener you will love this, it’s an upgrade for doing that. I love the cooling feature which saves me so much time (before I would have to hold my curl in my hand to cool which I no longer need to do).

You can also turn the cooling feature off if you wish, it does make some noise but not loud at all, it did not bother me. I’ve not tried a curler like this before so it is pretty unique. It gives a nice wavy look or a more tight curl depending how big of a section of hair you take.

I’m hopeless with doing my hair so I usually stick to an easy wand curler but this wasn’t hard to use at all. I have long thin hair so it took me a few tries to get the hang of it as I didn’t section my hair properly so the when I rotated the curler it didn’t quite work.

But once I sectioned my hair properly, and held the cool end of the curler, the curls came out really nice! As a side note this curler could also be used as a straightener, win win! I’ve always used wand curlers so I’m slightly biased towards them (for now) but I did really like this curler, especially when in a rush!.

This hair tool looked so easy to use in the demonstration & I thought it would be failsafe. However, on receiving it I was so disappointed with the results. It would curl some sections of my hair but was inconsistent on other sections.

One side was always better than the other but the wave never stayed in. I tried watching numerous instruction videos on YouTube but to no avail – my hair ended up looking like a hot, strawlike mess! Also the tool sometimes tugged on my hair which was uncomfortable.

I’m not sure whether it was my hair type, fine hair with a natural wave, or my technique which gave poor results but I’ve ended up returning. As ever I’m grateful to QVC for allowing the consumer to trial products for a period of time & allowing returns on used goods.

This otherwise would’ve ended up gathering dust in a cupboard somewhere!.

This is an AWESOME Curling Wand. It’s taking a little getting used to the VERY LONG barrel and the results are worth it. Nice smooth Ceramic Tourmaline contributes to the overall smooth affect of styling.

I recently just got the beauty works bonded extensions and have seen Molly-Mae use this brush on her Instagram and thought I would get it ASOS had 20% off, was a great decision this brush brushes the hair so thoroughly and my hair feels so soft after using it! Would highly recommend especially if you have hair extensions or even for clip-in hair extensions.

The brush would work fine for normal hair as well but I don’t think it would be necessary for normal here you could buy a cheaper alternative. are use this brush just before curling my hair and also for brushing my curls out, it leaves my hair so bouncy and soft and as if I’ve just had a blowdry!.

I have tried hair curlers before and the results have never been great. My hairdresser recommended this wand and it really does work. I’ve only used it a couple of times but it’s easy to use and the glove helps stop a novice like me getting burnt fingers.

Very happy.

I was first tempted to buy the Dyson airwrap but then when I set eyes on the Cloud Nine Curling Wand I instantly fell in love 😍 I watched countless videos on YouTube to educate myself on the wand before I made my mind up and finally decided to buy it! It heats up in mere seconds which is amazing 🤩 I can safely say I wasn’t disappointed by the results on my night out and it was so effortless and easy to use first time! I had so many comments on my hair that night I felt like some kind of celebrity! Definitely buy it I would 100% recommend to everybody who owns a strand of hair 😂 it also matches with my Cloud Nine Airshot Dryer and my Cloud Nine Wide Iron Straightener which is fabulous 🥰.

I bought these earlier on this month, after they were recommended by a hairdresser. I have long hair extensions and find that no matter what I use nothing will hold a curl in my hair…. Well nothing until now!!! These are really easy to use, they’re super hot ( so be careful I do have a little burn ) and they do exactly what they are meant to! Highly recommended.
