Short and mid length hair is awkward to curl. A big barrel eats the length and you end up with a bend instead of a curl. The 16mm Wahl tong is sized for exactly that problem.

The barrel is ceramic, which matters for two reasons: the heat sits evenly along it, and the surface is smooth enough that hair wraps and releases without catching. Rapid heat up keeps the session short. A cool tip gives you somewhere safe to steady the end of the barrel, and the 360 degree swivel cord stops the flex twisting itself into a knot halfway through the back sections.

Aimed at short to medium lengths where you want tight curls and real volume rather than a loose wave. Handy too for putting worked texture back into a style that has gone flat.

Application tips

Day-old hair holds a curl better than freshly washed, and a little grip product earns its place on short lengths.

Take small sections. Hold the tong upright for a spiral, turn it flat for a wave with more lift at the root. Do the pieces framing your face last, when you can see what you are matching them to. Let every curl cool right through before you touch it.

Results

Tight, springy curls on lengths a fatter barrel would only bend. Short hair gains height at the root, which is normally the harder half of the job.

Hair releases from the ceramic without catching, so ends come off looking smooth rather than frayed. Run over a set that has dropped by Thursday, a few curls are enough to put the shape back.
