    Curling wands are the cousin of the curling iron. Their main difference is that, while a curling iron contains a clasp to hold hair in place while it curls, a curling wand does not. Curling irons are good for achieving ringlets, while curling wands yield looser, beachy waves. Cone-shaped curling wands are handy if you want curls of differing sizes, which is usually not possible with curling irons. If you’re considering a curling wand, take note of the diameter of the wand, its heat settings, the longevity of the heat settings, and suitability for your hair length. Some curling irons come as sets, so you can have options for curl size and shape.
