"Titanium would be the most preferred by stylists, and tourmaline and ceramic are more popular among the average consumer," says Toye. ✔️ Material: There's a lot of debate around whether ceramic or titanium is better for heat styling tools. Want a do-it-all size? "A curling iron with a 1 and ¼ inch barrel is a good size for everyday curls, no matter what look you are going for," says Toye. If your hair is hard to curl, look for a 1-inch barrel for a curl that is less likely to fall flat through the day. The smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl will be. If you want relaxed, beachy waves, reach for a larger barrel (1 ¼-inch and above). ✔️ Barrel size: "Depending on the texture of the hair and the type of curl you are looking for, then you would determine which size barrel to use," says Toye.
When shopping for a new curling iron, there are a few attributes and features you'll want to look for to ensure you're choosing the right curling iron for your hair type (and needs!). All said, our scientists and beauty pros parsed through over 103 measurements and 836 survey answers to find the only curling irons worth your money. We also had a panel of at-home testers try the irons at home and report on factors such as the lasting power of the resulting curls and ease of use. Our Beauty Lab pros evaluate features like preheat time, temperature range, overall settings and ease of use. That's why we tested curling irons in the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab to find the ones that are actually worth your money. With so many options on the market, from titanium to ceramic, tourmaline and even clamp-less curling wands, hair rollers and heat-free hair curlers, it can be difficult to know where to begin to find the best curling iron for you. But choices can vary greatly "depending on the texture of the hair and the type of curl you are looking for," says Eugene Toye, stylist at Rita Hazan Salon in New York City.
There's no way to create perfect beach waves or cascading curls without a great curling iron one that's easy to use and maneuver, heats up quickly to curl your hair fast and reaches a high enough temperature to set curls without damaging your hair - and fits in your budget. We updated this article in January 2023 to ensure all products were in stock and up-to-date, and included additional information on the extensive testing conducted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty, Health & Sustainability Lab.
