The 10 Best Curling Wands For Beach Waves

The sleek, all black Xtava Twist (around $29) features simple, intuitive controls that can take its temperature to 22 different settings between 200 and 410 degrees, and when you find the one that's best for your hair type, you can lock it in place to prevent accidentally changing it.

You won’t have to worry about damaging hot spots with the Suprent Worldwide (about $19), which has a ceramic coated, tapered barrel that was made to heat evenly. And if you happen to leave in a rush, its stand will keep it clear of surfaces until its self-shutoff feature kicks in.

If you have thick or lengthy tresses, then you'll appreciate the Hot Tools Professional's (appx. $42) extra-long barrel and high, 430-degree heat setting. Its glamorous 24-karat gold coating keeps things smooth, and its grippy anti-scald tip is a great addition for the accident-prone.

Although it's not technically a wand, the Bed Head A-Wave-We-Go (about $40) is still worth considering. It uses adjustable plates to attain a softer, more refined version of the crimped hairstyles of yore, and it even has a handy locking switch, so you can store it without issue.

Thanks to the Bestope Protective's (about $40) five interchangeable fittings, you're able to choose between tapered, traditional, or bubble barrels for a range of bouncy results. Plus, it sports an elegant rose gold finish that will look lovely on your vanity or bathroom counter.

Due to its tourmaline ceramic coating, the affordably-priced Bed Head Curlipops (appx. $20) leaves hair looking glossy, free of frizz and, most importantly, healthy. Its bright orange hue is hard to miss, so you'll be able to pick it out easily from your other styling bric-a-brac.

If you're looking to consolidate your styling tools or happen to be sharing with a family member or two, then consider the Homitt 5-in-1 (around $33). Its multiple attachments run the gamut in thickness, so you can achieve a variety of curl sizes to suit every mood.

With its funky pink and black zebra stripe pattern, the Jose Eber Pro (appx. $39) is as fun as it is functional. At 3/4-inch thick, it's tailor-made for shorter cuts and is capable of conjuring all-day volume, plus it's backed by a limited lifetime guarantee, just in case.

The no-frills Conair Infiniti Pro (about $20) offers 5 heat settings, so it's able to accommodate multiple hair types and provide precise control over the tightness of your waves. It uses a tapered, conical barrel that's easy to master, so even the styling-challenged can operate it.

An indispensable tool for curling newbies and veterans alike, the Kiss Products Instawave (around $44) uses its rotating barrel to gently pull locks in automatically, effectively doing most of the work for you. It rotates in either direction, too, so you can create a dimensional look.
