The key to creating head-turning perfect beach waves or cascading curls is a great curling iron, a cylinder-shaped barrel equipped with a holding clip for tension to create tighter and gorgeously defined spiral curls. You want 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. But with so many options on the market, from drugstores to department and beauty supply stores, it can be difficult to know where to begin to find the best curling iron for you.

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.
Here’s what to consider before you shop:
- Barrel size: If you want relaxed, beachy waves, reach for a larger barrel (1 ¼-inch and above). The smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl will be. If your hair is hard to curl, look for a 1-inch barrel for a curl that is less likely to fall flat.
- Material: There’s a lot of debate around whether ceramic or titanium is better for heat styling tools. Titanium barrels are usually lighter than ceramic and can hold high temperatures longer. While ceramic barrels distribute heat more evenly and are less likely to damage hair. So they are more suitable for at-home consumers with different hair textures. The GH Beauty Lab has found both ceramic and titanium curling irons are good conductors of heat and work on all hair types. Try not to get persuaded by marketing claims that state one is better than the next.
- Clamp: For ultimate versatility, look for an extended clip that spans the full length of the barrel. This way, the curling iron can also be used to straighten hair. Some models can be used as wands by wrapping hair over the clip for looser curls and waves.
