Can anyone recommend a hair waver?

[Tryingtokeepsafe]

Not tongs or curlers, a waver so like a crimper but for loose waves on long hair? I don’t want the ‘mermaid curls’ they all seem to mention, just nice loose curls that hold?

Also how do I avoid the sort of zig zag look some give??

I have a Toni and Guy waver. I wouldn’t say it gave curls, just loose waves. You have to be careful it doesn’t look crimped. I usually use my Dyson Airwrap for loose waves.

I was looking at the Toni and guy one @fiorentina. How do you not make it look crimped? Loose waves is what I mean. Can’t afford a dyson air wrap sadly!

It can easily look like you’ve used a giant crimper from the 1980’s, so takes some practice and breaking up the waves after you’ve made them. I would use the waver on slightly damp hair and once I’ve finished, run my fingers through to break up the waves and then use product.

I have a crimper kicking about some where

The toni and guy one is 17.99 on amazon. Worth a try?

You're not going to want to hear this but I use a curling wand...

I just brush out the curls so they're not tight and get beach's waves

You could try curling with straighteners or a big barrel curling wand, or braiding your hair into thick plaits and running straighteners over the plaits? Can you post a pic of the kind of waves you’re after?

Me and curling tongs don’t get on and I don’t like the curl from straighteners. I think waver will be much quicker to do than anything else... I like the dressing gown tie method but doesn’t hold in my hair for very long

Is the babyliss one any good? Thinking of getting this. Curl secret I think. My hair is so thick and naturally a bit wavy, so I hope it ends in waves.

I think you need a deep barrel waver like this?
