Luckily, you don’t have to spend your savings to get what you want. You just need to invest in quality rollers and rollers that won’t damage your hair.

BaByliss, Remington, Dyson: we bet that with these names we already have what will convince you. Last thing to do, follow our advice carefully and take the curler or curler that’s right for you from our buying guide.

The most exclusive: the BaByliss Curl Secret 2 C1300E

Forget the days when you had to wrap your lock of hair around the curling iron to curl it. With BaByliss Curl Secret 2 C1300E, getting waves is no longer an obstacle course. You’ve probably seen this device on TV or social media that sucks up your hair like magic and brings it out with an ultra-desirable wavy effect. Well this magic is called Auto Curl and it exists on this model, there is no need to thank us.

More concretely, the lock will be rolled and heated in a ceramic chamber, designed not to damage the hair. It’s the ever-popular ionic technology that comes into play to eliminate unwanted frizz and static. The result is beautiful curls that all have the same shape. You can also style them however you like. How will you tell us? Thanks to the three possible exposure times. Keep in mind that the longer you leave the lock in the appliance, the more defined the curl will be.

Three rotation directions, left, right and alternating, give your hair the exact movement you want. Perfect for perfection fanatics, also called psychopaths by those around them. As for the super atypical round head of the model, it hides a very nice surprise. They are not one, but two. The 25 cm little sister offers smaller curls while the larger 35 cm one guarantees waves that last over time.

All that remains is to adjust the temperature between three possibilities depending on your hair type. A little advice: opt for low temperatures if you have fine hair, and high temperatures for thick hair. Starting to use the device will however take some time, which is indeed the downside of the device. On the other hand, it offers a more personalized experience than the Remington Pro Luxe CI9132. For those who want to change their look every day of the week and have a limited budget, the BaByliss Curl Secret 2 C1300E awaits you.

The best value for money: the Remington Pro Luxe CI9132

For fans of loose curls like Gossip Girl’s Serena Van der Woodsen, this curler will delight you. With its diameter of 32mm, the Remington Pro Luxe CI9132 offers beautiful soft waves. Perfect for everyday life. The famous effect is achieved thanks to OPTIHeat technology which concentrates maximum heat on the roots and leaves the ends more natural. The Grip Tech coating on which the locks are wrapped is also designed to shape curls well. As for the temperature, you can choose between 10 levels between 120°C and 210°C. Enough to truly find the one made just for your hair.

With 30-second warm-up, the device manages to be even faster than you when you hear the word “free” wherever you are. And if you unfortunately forget to press the iron’s “off” button after use, the model will automatically turn off after 60 minutes of inactivity. A very welcome security measure, but which does not prevent you from making this mistake as much as possible. This curling iron therefore offers a greater number of temperature levels than the Remington Pearl Wand conical curling iron. For those who want loose curls to suit their daily lives without having to spend too much, the Remington Pro Luxe CI9132 is clearly the next purchase.

The most affordable: Remington Pearl Wand CI951 conical curling iron

Quality does not necessarily mean high costs. And to be convinced of this, all you have to do is discover this curler. The Remington Pearl Wand CI951 has a ceramic coating with pearl flakes. No, it’s not the new ice cream flavor, but rather a technology that provides uniform heat throughout your curling session and extends the life of the device. In the end it’s almost better than a frozen treat! The problem on the other hand is that there is no clamp to hold the wick. It’s up to you to keep it wrapped around the model. So be careful of potential burns. A protective glove is also included to avoid minor injuries. The straightener is therefore less recommended for short hair, because it is more complicated to use.

Its diameter, which goes from 25 cm at the base to 13 cm at the tip, allows you to obtain rather defined and voluminous curls for a truly enviable glamorous look. With its eight heating levels ranging from 130°C to 210°C, it is also suitable for all hair types. And you won’t have time to watch your series while waiting for it to warm up, as it’s ready to use in just 30 seconds, according to the brand. When you forget to turn it off, which you absolutely shouldn’t do, watch out, we’re watching you, it stops on its own after 60 minutes. Compared to the Remington Pro Luxe, this curler has a pearl coating which extends its longevity. For those who are attracted by quality at a low price, the Remington Pearl Wand CI951 Conical Curler is waiting for you.

Best suited for short hair: Dyson Airwrap Complete

The problem with most curlers is that they are very often suitable for long hair… and not necessarily for short hair. So, to finally do justice to squares and other pixie cuts, Dyson has imagined a truly special model. And this is the Dyson Airwrap Complete. With its six different tips with a super chic design, you will surely find what you are looking for. Otherwise, you need a hairdresser at home and a very large budget.

For ultra-defined curls with maximum volume, there’s nothing like the 30mm roller. Opt for the 40mm one if you prefer a more natural look with beautiful waves. Hairstyles that come to life thanks to the Coanda effect. Simply put, the continuous airflow will form a vortex that will bring the hair back on itself and roll it directly onto the appliance. Good to know, the roller can spin in any direction. Super personalized hairstyles are yours! You can also choose between three levels of airflow and temperature. All you have to do is find the right one for you. Thanks to the round tip of the brush, real drying at home is also possible.

The curler also doubles as a straightener to remove frizz and make hair smoother with the hard and soft straightening brushes. Be careful though, the result is not as perfect as with a classic straightener. And since this Dyson Airwrap Complete has obviously decided to transform into The Mask mode at will, it also becomes your designated hair dryer using the Coanda straightening tip. But don’t worry, with him you will be a real Cameron Diaz, not Jim Carrey.

Finish with the cold air button to fix your chosen hairstyle and you’re done. The integrated intelligent heat control also measures the temperature every 40 seconds. The result is hair protected from heat which can be fatal in the long run. This curling iron is, as you can see, more complete than the BaByliss Curl Secret 2. For those who want a 3 in 1 device and have a maximum budget, the Dyson Airwrap Complete is highly recommended.

All the questions you have about curlers and rollers

What is the best device to create a wavy effect?

First of all, good to know, the wavy effect is beautiful natural waves. These are not super glamorous curls like Marilyn Monroe. To get it right, you can choose from no fewer than three models from our selection. Yes, we do our job well. Very large budgets can adopt Dyson Airwrap Complete which can create dozens of hairstyles. Less expensive, the BaByliss Curl Secret 2 has a 35cm tip ideal for waves. Even more affordable, the Remington Pro Luxe has a 32cm head that offers a less natural wave than the BaByliss, but still very successful.

What is the best curler straightener?

Straightener and curler are, a priori, two opposite devices. But you’re in luck, we’ve found you a multifunctional model, the Dyson Airwrap Complete. Blow dry, straighten, curl, it does it all and in many different ways too. If you have carefully read our guide, you already know all its features. And if not, you know how to fix it!

How much does a looper cost?

A question that doesn’t have a really precise answer. The first prices start from around twenty or thirty euros. The average range is around €50-70. And the more expensive models, therefore more qualitative, can range from 100 to 500 euros if you have rather good means.

How to use an automatic looper?

If “automatic” is in the sentence, it is unlikely to be complicated. You just remove a small strand of hair, insert it into the device and you’re done. Then it’s the iron’s turn to work. He vacuums it, rolls it and heats it to create the long-awaited curls. It’s hard to make it easier!

Which curler to buy?

You may have all our best recommendations, but it’s up to you to make your choice based on your needs and budget. If you want a high-performance curler that allows you to have tons of different hairstyles, the BaByliss Curl Secret 2 is your next purchase. But you have to pay the price. With fewer head changes, but still plenty of efficiency, the Remington Pro Luxe is the perfect lower-cost alternative. And small budgets won’t be disappointed with this Remington Pearl Wand CI951 and its beautifully defined curls. Finally, combine three devices in one with Dyson Airwrap Complete. Wave, curl, straighten, brush, dry, do it all as long as you heat up your credit card.
