WHEN it comes to hair styling, we’re looking for that sweet spot of finding styling tools that make our hair look gorgeous, don’t damage it and don’t cost £400 (we’re looking at you, magical-yet-insanely expensive, Dyson AirWrap).
Cheap hair curlers are essential styling tools that can transform your hair and get you looking party-ready in minutes.
We’ve picked the best of the best – starting at the cheap and cheerful price of £9.99.
When it comes to curling your hair, there are many different styles to consider – and with the right curling iron, you can make any a reality for your hair, from beachy waves to tight coils to bouncy ringlets.
Your favourite haircare brands, from Lee Stafford to BaByliss and Toni&Guy, also make cheap hair curlers you can buy for under £55 – and many are designed to create quite specific curl styles.
The super-thin Hero Chopstick Styler is designed for ultra-tight, springy coils, while Toni&Guy’s Deep Barrel Waver gives that coveted beachy-wave look, even when you’ve been sitting on the sofa watching Netflix all afternoon.
If you’re ready to spend £55+ on a hair curler, then technology has evolved to save you time and effort: enter the automatic curling iron, aka magic wand, which lets you create curls and waves in alternating directions at the press of a button. Presto.
The gorgeous rose-gold design of this curler has hair benefits, too: the tourmaline-ceramic barrel is infused with coconut oil to help repair any hair damage and leave manes looking glossy.
The Wonderball curling wand can create a variety of styles, from beachy waves to tousled curls, heats up quickly to 200C and comes with a safety stand and cooling tip.
This award-winning hair curler does beachy waves on the cheap and features a 32mm deep barrel, temperature control up to 200 degrees C and tourmaline-ceramic technology to enhance shine.
A cheap and effective styler for ultra-tight, springy curls, The Hero Chopstick styler has a titanium barrel for quick heat-up and even heat distribution, and also releases anti-frizz ions to optimise hair's appearance.
This bargain buy has five digital heat settings to choose from and comes with a heat protection glove, as well as a five-year warranty.
Fans love it for tight curls; as one notes: "So easy and simple to use.
"Perfect results every time and does exactly what it says on the box."
This cheap favourite from BaByliss has a 25mm tourmaline-ceramic barrel, gets up to a high heat of 210C in just 40 seconds and gives hair those coveted, well-defined curls.
Customers love this curling iron for its value, effectiveness and how easy it is to use.
These curling tongs use ionic tourmaline technology to protect hair while styling, creating negative ions to lock moisture into the hair.
This conical styler is ideal for creating bouncy, salon-lookalike curls - at a fraction of the cost.
These very well-reviewed curlers are super-cheap and do the job well, heating up to 200 degrees in 30 seconds and transforming limp locks into lustrous curls.
Customers also like the safety stand to minimise the risk of destroying surfaces.
One fan writes: "I went for cheap and cheerful as I didn't wish to spend a lot of money.
"They are fantastic and do the job an expensive one would do."
If you're looking for an investment-buy hair curler, the latest craze is all about the auto-curl.
Push a button on Glamoriser's Instant Auto Curler, and a rotating barrel, infused with Black Diamond oil for shine, creates stunning, bouncy curls in different directions, with minimal time and effort.
