The Beachwaver curling iron is my favorite way to get easy curls
The Beachwaver’s rotating mechanism takes the guesswork out of curling my hair, which is why I’ve been using it for two years.




Beachwaver also has an upgraded version to my curling iron called the Beachwaver Pro — it costs $70 more than the S1 curling iron. The biggest difference between the two models is that the Pro utilizes tourmaline technology — in contrast to the S1’s ceramic technology — which adds moisture to the hair and minimizes frizz, hairstylist Courtney Foster previously told us.The Pro heats up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and sports a 6.5-inch barrel while the S1 maxes out at 410 degrees Fahrenheit and has a 5.5-inch barrel — the extra inch is helpful for those with longer hair. The Pro also features a 9-foot-long swivel extension cord versus the S1’s 8-foot-long swivel cord.
A solid curling iron is certainly beneficial for your hairstyling routine, but accessories and proper care can really enhance those benefits. Here are a few tips I’ve picked up over the years — and some that experts shared with me.
