If you want a more traditional curling wand that can do it all, this interchangeable option from Paul Mitchell is a smart investment. It comes with three ceramic barrels—a 1-inch rod for loose waves, a 1.25-inch cone for natural-looking curls, and a 0.75-inch cone for tighter ringlets—so you can easily switch up your look depending on the day. The clamp-free, wrap-and-release design speeds up the styling process and helps minimize damage, while the brand’s far-infrared technology and super-charged negative ions help deliver shiny, frizz-free results. It’s also dual voltage for travel and has a one-hour auto shutoff for safety.
Testing notes from Glamour commerce writer Kilkeary
“I have to say, this tapered curling iron is one of the best I’ve ever tried for shorter hair. I used the superthin barrel to create corkscrew-like curls that completely changed the look and texture of my hair. It added so much volume and stayed put for hours throughout the night. I’d recommend this one if you have hard-to-curl hair like mine—it’s truly a game changer. You can see it clearly in my before-and-after,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.
Best on Amazon: L’ANGE Hair Le Curl 25 MM Titanium Curling Wand

- What we love: Lightweight; easy to maneuver; heats up quickly
- What could improve: May not be ideal for thin or fine hair
This titanium wand has a lightweight design that makes it easy to maneuver, and its 25mm barrel creates loose, glamorous waves. Just be mindful: Our tester found it heats up fast and runs hot, so it’s best suited for medium, thicker hair that can handle higher temps.
Testing notes from Glamour commerce writer Kilkeary
“The iron itself is light and easy to maneuver around your head, but I didn’t love that it was hard to see what temperature it got up to. I’d use this again at a lower temp, but did enjoy the looser, Hollywood-esque curls it gave me,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.
Best Interchangeable: Drybar The Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron

- What we love: Highly versatile; heats up quickly; long power cord
- What could improve: On the bulkier side
This multifaceted tool comes with three snap-in attachments, making it easy to switch between a 1-inch wand, a 1.25-inch curling iron, and a triple-barrel iron. Use it for sleek curls or beachy waves, depending on your mood. Either way, the digital temperature control and a 9-foot cord make styling a little bit easier.
Testing notes from Glamour contributor Earley
Testing notes: “I’ve tried many of Drybar’s signature tools, and this one is especially versatile, which frees up space in a jammed vanity drawer,” says Earley. “Their tools do tend to be on the heavier and bulkier side, but heat up quickly to deliver a style that lasts.”
