What are the best hair curlers to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Hair Curlers in the UK is the BaByliss Ceramic Curling Wand Pro 13-25mm 2285CU.
The BaByliss Ceramic Curling Wand Pro 13-25mm 2285CU suits longer hair and natural waves, with a tapered 13mm to 25mm barrel, 5 settings from 150°C to 210°C, a heat protection glove and mat, and a 3 year guarantee on the listing.
The BaByliss Ceramic Curling Wand Pro is our top pick among hair curlers because its listing states a tapered 13mm to 25mm ceramic coated barrel, 5 heat settings from 150°C to 210°C, a longer barrel it calls ideal for curling longer hair, auto shut off and a 3 year guarantee. For automatic curling on long hair, the TYMO CURLPRO Plus lists a 32mm rotating barrel with an anti-tangle sensor, and the janelove Automatic Hair Curler lists 170-230°C and dual voltage (110-240V); for a classic tong, the JAETON 25mm lists 100°C to 230°C and shuts off after 60 minutes.
This guide compares six curlers from BaByliss, TYMO, janelove, JAETON and Wahl: a tapered wand, three automatic curlers and two curling tongs, using what each listing states about barrel size, heat settings, automatic shut-off, voltage and warranty. Barrel sizes run from the tapered 13mm to 25mm BaByliss to 32mm on the TYMO CURLPRO Plus and the Wahl, with the TYMO CURLPRO listed at 1 inch.
Buying guide
What should you look for in Hair Curlers?
1Type: the BaByliss is a tapered curling wand; the TYMO CURLPRO, TYMO CURLPRO Plus and janelove are automatic curlers (TYMO describes automatic rotation, janelove a built-in motor that spins and wraps the hair around the heating barrel); the JAETON and Wahl are curling tongs, and the Wahl listing names a barrel clamp.
2Barrel size and hair length: BaByliss tapers from 25mm to 13mm and says its longer barrel is ideal for curling longer hair; TYMO describes the 32mm CURLPRO Plus as made for long hair; janelove calls its curler one for long hair; JAETON says its 25mm suits long, short and all types of hair. The Wahl is 32mm and the TYMO CURLPRO 1 inch.
3Heat settings: BaByliss lists 5 settings from 150°C to 210°C, janelove 170-230°C in low and high zones, and JAETON an adjustable 100°C to 230°C; Wahl says its tong reaches a consistent 200°C. Neither TYMO listing gives a temperature figure.
4Automatic shut-off: JAETON says its tong shuts off after 60 minutes and janelove that its curler switches off if no operation is detected within 60 minutes; BaByliss lists auto shut off without a time. The TYMO CURLPRO, TYMO CURLPRO Plus and Wahl listings do not mention it in the features we read.
5Warranty and voltage: only the BaByliss states a warranty term, a 3 year guarantee. janelove lists dual voltage 110-240V and JAETON 100-240V, and the TYMO CURLPRO Plus title says dual voltage without a range; the BaByliss, TYMO CURLPRO and Wahl listings do not mention voltage.
Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
Only the BaByliss listing states a warranty term (a 3 year guarantee), and neither TYMO listing gives a temperature figure. Statements about shine, frizz and how long curls last are the brands' own, such as TYMO's waves lasting 72 hours and janelove's curls lasting all day on its high setting. None of the six listings states a wattage.
Our Take
As a default, the BaByliss Ceramic Curling Wand Pro: 5 settings from 150°C to 210°C, a longer tapered barrel and a 3 year guarantee on the listing. For automatic curling on long hair, the TYMO CURLPRO Plus lists a 32mm rotating barrel with an anti-tangle sensor; for a corded tong with a barrel clamp, the Wahl 32mm lists a consistent 200°C and a 2.5 m swivel cord.

The janelove Automatic Hair Curler's title also says it is for long hair, and JAETON says its 25mm tong suits long, short and all types of hair.
How does an automatic hair curler work?

TYMO lists an anti-tangle mechanism that reverses tangles on the CURLPRO and a sensor on the CURLPRO Plus that helps detect when hair is not positioned correctly and stops the rotation; janelove adds an 8 second timer beep.
Which hair curler suits thick hair?
The BaByliss Ceramic Curling Wand Pro listing says its 5 settings from 150°C to 210°C let fine or thick hair be styled, and that higher settings may be more effective for thicker or more textured hair. The janelove listing says its temperature can be chosen by hair type, from a 170°-190° low zone to a 210°-230° high zone, and JAETON says its 25mm tong suits all hair types.
