Our top picks for best automatic hair curlers

What to look out for when buying an automatic hair curler

If you’re completely new to curling your hair, know that hair needs to be curled in sections - how long it takes to curl your whole head depends on your skill level and hair length and texture. Your main consideration should be picking a device that is suitable for your hair and what is easiest to use.

For newbies, choose an automatic curler with a one-click curling function. Ideally, the curler should have a setting for bidirectional curling (i.e. curling left and right). Curling your hair away from your face creates a more flattering look.

Choosing a lightweight, wireless model allows you to manoeuvre and hold the device for extended periods without your arm tiring.

If you want to create looser curls, go for larger barrel width sizes. For example, 1.5-inch barrels are best for achieving large bouncy waves. Go for a longer barrel as it can curl more hair without tangling, which makes it suitable for those with long hair.

Protect your hair by picking a curler with a ceramic-coated barrel. This can help reduce frizz and hair damage by distributing heat more evenly.

Safety always comes first so pick an automatic curler that has an anti-scald, enclosed design with a timed shut off feature. This way, you don’t have to worry about accidental burns or your curler becoming a potential fire hazard.
