This hair waver is easy on the eyes and a top-performer in all categories—it’s highly durable, easy to use, and delivers lasting beach waves. Multiple Heat Settings style all hair types and Instant Heat Recovery helps to ensure your results are fab throughout.

The sleek, black Amika High Tide Deep Wave Hair Crimper has a very easy-to-read digital display that shows you exactly what temperature you’re working with up to 390°F—a lower maximum temperature than most of the other devices I tested. 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. Even on my nonrainbow hair, the crimper gives my strands that extra, effortless oomph that previously evaded my styling efforts. This waver also takes longer than a few of the other picks on the list, particularly the Best Overall pick, to heat up, but once it reaches temperature, it delivers effortless beach waves in a flash.

I've found that crimping my hair isn't just an "I tried it" '90s throwback experiment, it's an actual solution to my flat hair woes.

AD Includes a double dosage of tourmaline ceramic technology for massive shine and frizz-free, long-lasting results.

Admittedly, either of these extra steps adds to the styling time required, ironic because the style itself is meant to look so effortless. High heat up to 400F locks in the style for fast results, while Tourmaline Ceramic Technology helps to reduce frizz and add massive shine. I checked out best-seller lists across retailers and other editorial lists to find the top hair wavers on the market. Starting at the roots, lightly clamp a small section of hair between the plates and hold for a few seconds. It doesn't exactly shatter the glass ceiling or anything, but extra points to Bed Head for catering to on-the-go women.
