We’ve rounded up the best curling wands on the market, each designed to turn unmanageable, thick hair into beautiful long tresses.

How can I find the best curling wand for thick hair?
When looking for a curling wand for thicker hair, you’re going to want to take a look at the size of the barrel and the temperature. Thinner, more temperamental barrels are not ideal for thicker hair, as your hair can become entangled more easily and it will take a long time to curl a full head of hair. Heat also plays a role: you want a curler with a high enough temperature to hold and style thicker hair strands, without the temperature being so intense that it damages your hair. Always remember to use a heat protection spray when using heated hair styling tools.
