How does a hair curler work?

Hair curlers use advanced heat technology to create everything from bouncy, voluminous curls to effortless beachy waves – without sacrificing your hair health. The material of the barrel plays a key role in how this heat is distributed, from shine and smoothness to the staying power of your look. Let's break it down: – Ceramic: A go-to for fine or delicate hair, with even heat distribution across the barrel. – Tourmaline: This frizz fighter is infused with ionic technology that smooths the hair for seriously glossy results. – Titanium: Heats up quickly and maintains higher temperatures, helping tame thick, coarse or stubborn strands.

Still think you need to crank up the temperature to get lasting curls? Think again. A new wave of air-powered styling tools is here, and they use high-speed air to style your hair instead.

With multiple attachments to dry, curl and smooth, they’re the ultimate beauty multitaskers. Prefer to skip heat altogether? Heatless hair curlers let you set your style overnight, so you can wake up to soft, effortless curls. Now that’s what we call beauty sleep!
