Our range of hair curlers
Hair curling wands
A hair curling wand is a classic option that most people know how to use. They're timeless, create perfectly round curls, and can be used on almost any hair type. Here's our range of hair curlers:
ghd Curve® Creative Curl Wand
The perfect option for natural-looking curls and deep waves, the tapered barrel is versatile enough for. Great for all hair lengths but particularly shining for shorter hair, the creative curl wand lets you curl your hair without losing any of its natural length.
ghd Curve® Classic Wave Wand
Hollywood waves and perfectly imperfect texture are just some of the benefits of using the classic wave wand. It's perfect when paired with longer hair, and the larger oval barrel means you can create undone waves that stand the test of time.
ghd Curve® Thin Wand
Sometimes you need a head full of tightly defined curls to dance the night away with. The thin wand is suitable for all hair types and can create high-definition curls in as little as three seconds.
Hair curling tongs
Another classic hair staple is the humble hair curling tong, which holds your hair in place as you twist to create perfectly even curls. Some people find them easier to use and safer, so our range is perfect for beginners who still want to enjoy perfectly bouncy curls and waves. Here's our range of hair curling tongs:
ghd Curve® Soft Curl Tong
The bigger and bouncier the curl, the better! The large 32 mm barrel of the soft curl tong creates supple, tumbling curls that are never lacking in volume, giving you the perfect at-home blow dry effect within minutes.
ghd Curve® Classic Curl Tong
The classic curl tong is perfect for achieving a classic style with plenty of volume, giving a whole new meaning to the term 'bedhead'. This tong is perfect for all hair types and lengths, letting you enjoy long lasting curls throughout your busiest days.
How to choose the right hair curler
Our hair curlers have been designed to achieve maximum results, but the only way to guarantee these is to use the right tool for your hair type. We all have different lengths, textures, and styles to contend with, and using a curling wand that works with that is the best way to make sure you fall in love with your hair every single morning.
Choosing a hair curler for different hair lengths
What is the best hair curler for short hair?
Who said short hair queens can't achieve and enjoy the perfect bouncy curl? While most of our curling wands can be used with all lengths, the best hair curler for short hair has to be the ghd curve thin wand. This will give you the best definition thanks to the thin 14 mm barrel size, and you can brush the curls out with ghd's tail comb to dress them down if you want a more effortless wavy look.
What is the best hair curler for medium hair?
Medium hair is one of the best candidates for any curling iron as it's not too short to worry about the diameter of the barrel wand, but it's also not too long that the curls fall out. The best hair curler for medium hair is none other than our Curve classic curl tong, with its 26mm barrel that creates long-lasting and glamorous curls every single time.
What is the best hair curler for long hair?
Long hair is guaranteed to be gorgeous when curled right, but the extra weight can sometimes leave curls looking limp and soft. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, our best hair curler for long hair is the soft curl tong, which works with your hair to create soft, tumbling curls instead of tight ringlets. This gives your hair a better chance of keeping its style for longer and leaves you feeling like you've just walked out of the salon every single morning - yes, please!
Choosing a hair curler for different hair textures
What is the best hair curler for thick hair?
It can be tough to get thick hair to hold curls, but that's where ghd's scientifically backed designs come into play. Our favourite hair curler for thick hair is the Curve creative curl wand, with its revolutionary 28 - 23 mm tapered barrel that lets you create whatever look and style you want day in, day out.
What is the best hair curler for fine hair?
Fine hair might also pose a challenge for holding curls for a long time, but again, ghd has you covered. We'd recommend the thin wand as the best hair curler for fine hair - making sure your style lasts throughout the day and night.
Choosing a hair curler for different hairstyles
What is the best hair curler for beachy waves?
Creative curl wand is to die for when it comes to beachy waves! The tapered barrel lets you decide the size of your own curls; you can choose between larger glossy waves or smaller, beachy curls. Brush them out with a ghd paddle brush to complete the loose look, and you're ready to take on the world.
What is the best hair curler for Hollywood waves & undone texture?
Hollywood waves are timeless and classic for a reason, so if you want to achieve them at home, we'd have to recommend the classic wave wand! The elliptical 38 - 26mm oval barrel gives you plenty of room to experiment with perfectly undone waves and looser curls, so you can step outside feeling your best every single morning.
What is the best hair curler for defined, even curls?
If a head full of neat, defined curls is what you're looking for, then let us introduce you to the thin wand! With ghd's thinnest barrel size of just 14 mm, this curling wand is amazing at creating highly defined curls within no time at all. Leave them be for a tighter ringlet look or brush them out with a tail comb for bigger, beautiful curls.
What is the best hair curler for classic style & volume?
Classic is classic for a reason, so if you're hoping to achieve glamourous and perfectly defined curls day after day, look no further than our classic curl tong. It works for all hair types and comes with a medium 26 mm barrel, so you can have fun experimenting with all kinds of jaw-dropping curls to find your classic go-to style.
What is the best hair curler for big curls and soft waves?
The only styler up to the job when looking for both big curls and soft waves is the soft curl tong. With its 32 mm barrel, you'll be able to create soft curls that cascade down your back and frame your face beautifully. If you want to try your hand at creating a salon-worthy blow out finish at home, then all you need is this styler and an oval dressing brush to have heads turning all around you.
