We compared two ceramic curling wands: the TYMO CURLPRO Plus and the Remington Almond Allure Curling Wand.
What we looked at
Automation, barrel design, and price.
The verdict
If you want an automatic rotating barrel that curls hair for you, with an anti-tangle sensor and a long 25mm barrel for long hair, the TYMO is the pick at £89.99, though it costs £72.00 more. If you would rather pay less for a manually-styled tapered wand with almond-oil-infused ceramic plates and a 15-second heat-up, the Remington is the value option, at £17.99.
