Designed by celebrity-fave hair extensions brand, Beauty Works, this curling wand has one of the longest barrels I've ever seen (seriously). Staying power: These loose waves have a little less staying power than some of the others on this list, but if you use inch-wide strands and hairspray each section they'll stay in tact. The tapered barrel of this wand goes from 28mm to 23mm, meaning you get a looser voluminous curl at the top of your hair, and tighter, defined curls toward the ends.

Temperature: There are two heat settings of 210°C and 230°C, and three timer settings which hold the hair in the curl chamber for different amounts of time, meaning you can tailor the settings to your hair type.

The Waving Wand is complete, with a four-inch ceramic barrel designed to create soft waves and smooth curls.

It also has a cool tip to help avoid burnt fingers and a 30 minute automatic off-switch for peace of mind.Staying power: Looser waves have a tendency to drop out much faster than tighter curls, especially if - like me - your hair is pin-straight. Whether its loose waves like myself that you’re after, or tighter curls, beach waves or smoother ends, I can’t recommend this 25 mm wand enough. The Curling Wand's ceramic barrel and The Original Iron's plates are infused with our signature duo of moisture-locking minerals.
