Thirteen millimetres is a narrow barrel, and that narrowness is the whole point. It gives you tight spiral curls rather than soft waves, and it reaches into shorter lengths that a fatter tong simply cannot get at.

Wahl build this one around a PTC heating element, so it comes up to styling temperature in seconds rather than minutes. The barrel is ceramic coated, which keeps the heat even along its length and lets hair slide instead of snagging, so you finish with less frizz and more shine on the curl. There is a cool tip at the end to hold while you wrap, and the construction is the professional grade Wahl is known for.

Worth having if you wear your hair short and still want proper definition, or if you have length and want a few tighter pieces worked through a looser set for texture.

Application tips

Dry hair, heat protectant on, and sections no wider than about two centimetres. Anything thicker will not take a curl this tight.

Wrap away from your face, steady the cool tip and count to somewhere between five and eight. Drop each spiral into your palm and pin it there while it cools, since that is what sets the shape. Fingers or a pick afterwards; a brush pulls the lot straight out.

Results

Spirals with real definition rather than a soft bend, tight enough to still be curls by the following morning.

On cropped hair it reaches lengths a wider barrel skids past entirely. The coated surface lets the hair slide off, so what comes out is shiny rather than roughed up. Worked through a looser set, a handful of tighter pieces gives the whole style more texture.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
