Hair curlers

Anyone got any recommendations for the best hair curlers? Love a loose curl, and want something to give my hair a bit of body. Also needs to be quite easy to use! I always leave getting ready to last minute, so needs to be quick and easy option!! Best for medium length hair too. Thanks!

By a straightener and learn how to use it at an angle to make curls!

honestly, they’re the best curls I’ve ever had -
100% better than all the curlers I’ve ever bought!

best for me is the babyliss curl secret, its one of those sucky in things that gives me the best and longest lasting curls ever.

In Boots there was a Mark Hill handle that you could buy attachments for, called the pic and mix. It looked very good, lots of attachments for it. Not tried it personally but it gets good reviews.

I have tried before and I just can't do it! Not sure where I go wrong, but seems impossible. I do love the curls from straighteners though so wish I could manage it!

DD1 has this it also has a handle that you can turn to a 90 degree angle which makes it easier to hold. It's great I'm always borrowing it.

Definitely not a Dyson air wrap, no matter what you read about it. Curls are super easy to do but don’t even last half an hour. And it cost £479😳😳😳😳

I can do loose curls in my thick long hair in 15 minutes with the Babyliss soft waves hair wand which I’ve had for about a decade, and they last well with a bit of product. Recently I’ve got into heatless curling, it takes 2 minutes to wrap my hair up when it’s slightly damp before bed and then 2 minutes to style it when I unwrap in the morning - this is better for longer hair though.

To those of you who curl your hair regularly; do you do this before work each morning?

I am someone who washes and straightens my hair the night before, so I only do make up in the morning. My husband is still asleep as I get up at 5.30am so I always get dressed in the bathroom and wouldn't think it considerate to be faffing in the bedroom where the plug sockets are. Just wondering what others do to look so put together and fab!

No, I wouldn't fork out for it! I know a few people who have it, and they admit their curls never ever stay. It makes it look a bit messy more than anything. Crazy price too!
