Best Tools for Making Flips, Waves, and Curls

Back in the day, my grandma used to curl her hair by wrapping sections around tin cans and shellacking it with hairspray. Oh, how times have changed. Not only do we have actual curling irons that make the process that much easier, but they do more than simply curl hair—they create everything from spirals to beach waves to bouncy, Hollywood siren-style 'dos. Depending on which look you're going for, there's a unique curling tool out there designed to achieve it.
