If you follow TikTok hair trends, you know there’s so much variety to choose from while shopping for the best hot tools. It can be difficult to sift through pages filled with top-rated curling irons, curling wands, blow-dryer brushes, and everything in between. Plus, there are large, medium, and small barrels, clipped and unclipped wands, and fancy auto-powered devices, and you need to consider your natural hair type: Do you need a curling iron that works on thicker hair? One that won’t damage fine hair? Where do you even begin?
Luckily, our team of shopping editors has tried dozens of options on the market, and we’ve rounded up our favorites, including everything from large-clip barrels that give you beachy waves to wand-and-glove combos that create tighter curls. Whether you want to spend $20 or $200, we found the product for you. Read ahead to shop our picks.
