Best straighteners that curl your hair
ghd V Classic hair styler
The Classic hair styler from ghd is the reason we began using straighteners to curl our hair, so we couldn’t leave this out of the list.
The highly professional tool ensures our hair is straightened to perfection, curled beautifully and adds waves we could only dream of getting at the beach.
Yes, we know ghd’s are expensive hair tools, but when you factor in cost per use and the fact that you’ll have it for so many years, it’s definitely worth the investment.
- ghd V styler has smoother plates and ceramic technology to create a professional finish
- A cooler, lighter body than ghd Mark IV styler makes it easier to handle for longer while styling

ghd Platinum Styler
Evolving from the success of the ghd eclipse, the hair brand has extended their hair straightener line with the Platinum styler – an innovative all-purpose tool that incorporates ghd’s patented tri-technology for kinder styling that’s safer-for-hair heat, and yields better results.
Zoe Irwin, ghd’s UK brand ambassador, explains: “The new design is great. Hairdressers know that even the best stylers can suffer when the plates meet awkwardly and slide vertically against each other, causing slippage. The new wishbone hinge design of the ghd platinum ensures a perfect fit that’s totally stable, allowing for a completely smooth, controlled finish.”
The unique wishbone hinge gives you greater control to create any style; straight, curly or wavy. It spreads heat evenly throughout the hair, so there are no more annoying kinks and no hair left un-styled; creating the perfect look.

Remington Rose Pearl Ceramic Straightener
The brand new straighteners from Remington have certainly caught our eye, simply because they look so pretty. The Rose Pearl Ceramic Straightener thankfully has the high quality too.
They heat up to a range of temperatures so you can choose the best one for your own hair, the plates are ceramic to minimise damage to your locks, plus they’re made with real pearl so that they glide through your hair without snagging. Perfect for straightening but even better for when you’re curling your hair with them because you spend so much time twisting the straightener as you curl.
L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod straightener
The L’Oreal Professionnel Steampod straightener is a combination of steam and pro-keratin technology that leaves your hair silky smooth and helps to protect it from heat damage too.
The straightener plate is wider than most of the other straighteners mentioned above, so it’s perfect for those with thicker or longer locks.
The anodized floating plates are flexible which means they’re perfecting for twisting around your hair to make curls and waves, and the continuous steam pressure opens the hair cuticle to retain natural moisture levels, so hair is glossy, smooth and hydrated even after you’ve styled it.
How to curl your hair with straighteners
Brush through your hair to ensure there are no knots or tangles. Then section off the hair so you can work on smaller pieces at a time.
If you want a tighter curl then use smaller sections of hair, while larger sections will create a looser wave.
Take one piece of hair at a time, and the straightener near the top of the head, a couple of inches away from the roots. Clamp the hair between the styler and then twist it around your hair, coming down the hair as you move the straightener around.
You only need to hold the straightener lightly on your locks, there’s no need to really clamp down tightly as it’s the heat and the styling technique that creates the curl, not the pressure you exert.
Repeat this all through your hair, if you want more textured curls twist the hair in opposite directions, however if you want a more uniform curl twist the straightener in the same direction as you move through your hair.
If you want defined curls leave your hair as it is, but if you want a looser wave use your fingers to brush through it for a more relaxed finish.
Don’t forget a spritz of your favourite hair spray to help keep the curls in place.
