10 Best Automatic Hair Curlers

Curls and ringlets are having a moment, and while glamorous waves and ringlets have long been a staple of red-carpet evening looks, in the past few years curls have emerged as a popular daytime look, too. Heated rollers, tongs, curling wands, or even wrapping the hair around straighteners are all good ways to get a temporary curl; but there’s a growing number of automatic hair curlers on the market that promise to take the effort out of curling your locks. 

Automatic hair curlers work by winding the hair around a heated barrel, so you don’t have to do the winding yourself. Most use some kind of mechanical motor to twist hair into place, while others use air pressure to wrap the hair. An automatic curler is a useful tool to have if you’re not confident in your own skills with a tong or wand, or if you have a sensory or mobility issue that makes winding your hair into place difficult.
