Bed Head Little Tease Crimper, 1 Inch by Bed Head

Product Information

The waver also has some enviable safety features other devices didn’t—most notably an auto-shutoff feature, a high metal stand, and an included glove to protect your fingers from the heat. It gives you fun, tight waves like in the 80s, which is why I loved it since I never had a hair crimper back then. Now, even when I wake up with limp and lifeless hair, a mere 30 minutes with my crimper is all it takes for me to walk down the street as if I'm starring in my own Pantene commercial ( look out, Selena Gomez).

For consistency sake, we decided to only test triple-barrel wavers—the more popular type right now—as they deliver the tousled, S-shaped style of beach waves as opposed to crimped, zig-zag ones. The 1" plates on this crimper create small texture that makes a BIG statement, whether you use it for crimped looks or to tease hair for added volume at the roots. Even on my nonrainbow hair, the crimper gives my strands that extra, effortless oomph that previously evaded my styling efforts. The iron alerts you when it’s fully heated, and you won’t be waiting long, as this waver heats up fast—ideal for anyone who is often in a time crunch. This model has some nice safety features our overall winner lacked—most notably a kickstand and the inclusion of a glove to protect your fingers if you desire.High heat up to 400F locks in the style for fast results, while Tourmaline Ceramic Technology helps to reduce frizz and add massive shine. Don’t put up with blah hair – stage a style intervention with the Bed Head ½” Purple Haze Mini Ceramic Crimper to power your hair to the top with lots of long-lasting texture, full body and massive shine. Though it has a great, easy-to-read digital screen and intuitive buttons, said buttons don’t lock and are placed directly at the base of the clamp, so it’s easy to accidentally press them during the styling process. Also, the first Insert Waves Here waver I received was a lemon—it wouldn’t turn on, even after following the instructions to a T and trying multiple outlets. AD Includes a double dosage of tourmaline ceramic technology for massive shine and frizz-free, long-lasting results.

Its barrels are also very large, which allowed me to capture more hair at a time, decreasing styling time.It also comes with a one-year warranty, so you can feel good about your purchase, even if it was the most expensive product we tested.

After using the crimper, if my hair looks too crunchy, I just run a comb through it to soften things up. At this temperature, the hair waver gave me a substantial wavy look that remained in place throughout my entire 9-hour-long day. If you can get past those minor negatives, you’ll appreciate the overall performance and some of the added features, like the fact that you can lock the tool to a certain temperature and you can count on it putting itself to sleep after one hour—a great safety feature.And even on the highest setting, which I chose because my personal preference is to use a hotter temperature and the instructions didn’t provide guidance, I didn't feel like it was singeing my hair. And even when it got to my chosen temperature of 410°F—which I chose based on personal preference in the absence of guidance—it didn’t create waves as defined as those I got when using our Best Value pick at the same temperature. After reading the instructions, there doesn’t appear to be any way to convert it to Fahrenheit, which can lead to some confusion. We tested hair wavers that contain three curling iron-like barrels, but others look like a zig-zag crimper.
