BED HEAD Ceramic Wave Artist Deep Waver for Beachy Waves, 15x9x7 Inch

This iron exceeded my expectations when I received it. I have long hair past my shoulders which is extremely thick, course, and curly. Some areas actually are wirey rather than curly. I had already washed and just straightened my hair with a vent brush and blow dryer the day before (I can't wash every day). Directions said to mist your hair with Bed Head hairspray (of course) mine was already sprayed with Frizz Ease hair spray. I had not straightened my hair with a flat iron prior to using the deep waver, I had as stated only used the hair dryer and vent brush which straightens my hair but does not make it smoothe by any means at all. There is a pamphlet with the iron that says it's a styling guide. It is basic directions. Iron has 3 settings. Low ~ For Fine Hair, Medium ~ For Normal to Medium Hair, & High For Thick, or Course Hair. I set the iron on High for my hair type. Breifly put the hair dryer to my hair again with the vent brush to loosen my hair up as I had had it pulled up for work and there were lines in my hair from the bands used. I then pulled the top part of my hair up on top of my head, and began using the waver on the underlying layers of hair first. I used another reviewers tip and put the flatter portion of the iron on the top side of my hair and moved the waver over it section by section. It took me about 20 minutes to do my entire head which is even faster than using the Instyler (Works as good as the old school Chi Irons that got much hotter than the Chi's of today) I also have for straightening. My hair looks amazing! Wavy, but not tacky. I just took a section of my hair ran the brush through it again to smoothe. Started at the root, held for a few seconds and moved down the length of hair. It was easy to even do the back of my head. This iron would be perfect for creating cute little updo's as well. My hair is TOTALLY UNRULY AND VERY DIFFICULT usually requiring me to take close to an hour to make a half way tolerable hairstyle after getting out of the shower. Who has that kind of time each day? Not me! So this is a true blessing at an affordable price. This iron got hot FAST! And made my Do really cute in no time! I'm sold! I may go ahead and get another one so when it wears out in a couple of years. I won't have to worry about tracking down another one :O) Oh yes, some people talked about the size and width of the iron. It is probably about 2.5 inches wide. If you have a bob that is at least jaw length you could use this iron. Just keep in mind after you go over each section you may want to pull on the hair to relax it a bit while it is still hot & your waves won't look too big for your length of hair. I did this to relax the wave that was on my hair part & it worked great. With the rest of my head I let the waves cool completely then fron the underside of my hair ran my fingers through all of my hair to loosen the hair without messing up the outer layer & I came out with smoothe beach wavy hair! So thrilled! Hope this helps everyone!

I bought this because my hair is wavy, but not wavy enough to just let it air dry and wear down. This product fixed my problem. I can now let my hear air dry and quickly style my hair with this and it comes out great! I have VERY thick hair. Like 4 times the amount a normal person has on their head (seriously, my friends and I have compared.) Anyway, the thickness makes it tough to style. This iron gets HOT!!! The first time I used it I had it at the highest heat setting, because that is how I have to use flat irons and curling irons since my hair is so rediculously thick. Well that was a mistake, I looked like Kelly Kapowski! The next time I put it up to 50% and it works PERFECTLY. I get smooth beachy waves that last until I wash my hair (which is about every other day, but the waves would definitely last longer if I didnt wash it for longer). I do not have to use any product in my hair before or after I use this (though I would reccomend a heat protectant if you have fine hair, as this iron gets hotter than lava, I am sure of it). Typically it takes me a long time to curl or straighen my hair, but with this tool I can style it super quickly, like 15 mins to do my whole head! Since it creates beachy casual waves, it does not require prefection. In fact, I think the more imperfection while using this the better. Looks more natural. I dont do all of the layers of my hair becasue it makes my hair too voluminous, but if you have thinner hair it would probably add a lot of body. Overall, great produst for beachy, relaxed waves. I highly reccomend, and I get compliments from all of my coworkers whenever I use this on my hair!

Pros: I used this product for the first time on NYE this year. At first it was a little touch and go, my hair is a little past shoulder length and incredibly thick - I had to divide it into 4 horizontal sections and take small sections in order to make sure everything was curled. I tried twisting the sections of hair and then applying this, I'm not sure if it made much of a difference for me but I liked the overall effect. I like it more now on the second day - the waves relaxed more and it gave it more of a natural look. I did like how hot this device gets. Cons: I feel like the black caps on the ends could be thicker to protect the surface I was putting the hot iron on. It started smelling almost like something was burning almost immediately after plugging in the device (not that bad, enough that it was noticeable). I definitely burned myself slightly a few times using this, it would be nice if it came with a heatproof glove since there's no good end to hold the iron in place while curling and it gets a little bit heavy if it takes you 45 minutes to curl your hair like it does mine. I wish it opened up just a little more which would probably help in not burning yourself.

This is a great hair tool! Background: My hair is stick straight, shoulder length, and fine. I wash it 1-2 times a week. Normally, it holds curl for a few hours at the most, and it needs a lot crap to get any volume. Using the waver: I just started grabbing sections as wide as would fit in and sticking it in the waver, holding the end sticking out of the waver to put in later. I highly dislike spending time with my hair or fussing of any kind, so I do not even know how to put my hair up into sections for curling. This was nice because I grabbed sections from the top, waved them, then grabbed a chunk from below... here and there... If I saw a section that looked like it needed it, I grabbed it and waved it. No method, no sectioning, no evenness. With the waver, if some small sections were missed and were still straight, it didn't matter- still looks good! The whole process took me 5-7 mins. Seriously. Mostly because I hate spending time with my hair, so I just kinda stuck hair in the waver and continued rather willy-nilly. But ya know what? It looked AWESOME! Afterwards: I let the heat "set" as instructed before I started fluffing my new waves. It lasted all day. And then some. It lasted FIVE DAYS! Granted, some of the drastic waves loosened, but it literally lasted 5 days without me doing anything. No hairspray. I just wore a shower cap over it when I showered. Simple. Notes: If you have longer and/or thicker hair, I think this will take longer. I part my hair to the left, and I can grab the entire right section in one hand easily. If you wash your hair every day (you should consider not doing that... "mine gets greasy" is bullcrap. You go through a period of greasiness at first because your hair is used to being overwashed, but I have fine previously oily hair that now can go a week without looking greasy. So start going longer between washing your hair.) Anyways. As I was saying. If you wash your hair everyday, the wave will not last as long, obviously. But it certainly will last all day! Overall, I LOVE this thing. For someone who never does stuff with her hair, but wants voluminous hair, this is great! Lasts for days, easy to use, don't need products, and it's quick. I highly recommend.

I was a bit hesitant about this product, as sometimes less expensive products don't work for my hair. I have thick, coarse, long (about three inches above my waist), naturally curly/wavy hair with long layers. This means: (without any product in it) it's not soft, frizzy, with inconsistent curls in some parts and wave in others. And after a night sleeping it's frizzy in the back pretty badly. With this hair it is best to only wash it every other day, so on that 2nd day it looks awful. Also, because it's heavy, it only starts waving at about my ears, then curls towards the bottom. I wanted to find something that would keep it looking pretty much the way it does that first day, when it air dries, but put some wave up a bit higher towards my crown, too. I had been concerned the heat might not be enough, as it's not temperature controlled by specific temperatures. It has a slider that you "dial" towards "low" or "high". Because my hair is so coarse, it takes very high heat to affect it (I normally use 410 on my hair straightener). This product works PERFECTLY. I was able to take it out of the box, use it on my hair, and it looks EXACTLY like it did yesterday after air drying, but with wave all the way up to the top of my head. The only thing I will change when I do it next time is that I will first insert my section of hair and pull it all the way through THEN start waving it. It does say this in the directions (which I read afterwards). That will pull some of the natural curl out first. My hair came out beautiful :) I see some of the reviews mentioned that it was too hard to work but I had no problems at all, and my hands are small - and I'm not freakishly strong or anything. I did use the highest setting, and I would assume that would burn most people's hair, but I'm Hispanic and my hair absolutely will not curl with anything less than very high heat. I had to hold the iron on each wave a bit longer than with my straightener, but not a LONG time by any stretch. Overall I am VERY pleased with this purchase, and will use it often. I would definitely purchase again, and even recommended it to my hair stylist daughter :)

I like this crimper because I’ve always been a firm user of behead products, and the waves it gives are beachy and cute with a lot of volume... but there’s a few big downfalls. Using this thing makes your hand so sore if you have thick hair. I have to separate my hair into 3 layers when I do any heat style and by the time I got to the last layer my thumb was hurting so bad from using this, and is still sore a day after using it. Part of it is because this thing is kind of bulky and heavy and it puts a lot of stress on your hand to use it. Especially if you have boney, nimble hands like me. It’s really uncomfortable to use. I like the waves it gives my hair (medium length) but to me, it smells like old bacon being reheated lol. It’s almost revolting. It didn’t make my hair smell weird or anything, but it did stink up my bedroom pretty bad while using it. This thing can also overheat fast so be careful with the heat settings, as there’s no numbers to tell you what temp you’re at. Just a dial. I thought that was annoying AF. Overall, I’m giving it 3 stars. I probably wouldn’t buy it again. Disappointed.

All I can say is WOW! I love this deep waver! I have the kind of wavy hair that isn't really curly, but not straight either (if that makes sense to any of you) and my hair is super thin. I have a lot of trouble with curling irons because the curl NEVER stays unless i feel like spraying it down with freeze spray and having crunchy curls all day. This dream machine, however, is AMAZING! As others have commented, once you're done and curls are set, the more you comb or run your fingers through your hair, the bigger and "fluffier" your curls will get. If you don't want volume with your curls, don't comb through your hair when your done. I use a light hair spray before I apply the curler and of course, a heat protector spray (highly recommended as this curler gets EXTREMELY hot!) and then lightly spray down again when done. My curls last all day and I can even get a second day out of them if I pull my hair back loosely. I would recommend using this in dirty hair (day after you wash it) as I have not gotten as great of results if I use it on freshly washed and blow dried hair. It does take a while to do your hair; I have shoulder length hair and it takes me about an hour to do my whole head. There is a lock button on the top to keep the curler closed when curling your hair and while not in use, but the lock doesn't keep it tight on the hair while using it. therefore, I'm forced to sit there while curling and hold it tightly closed with my hands......after an hour of doing so, my hands certainly hurt! Otherwise, I love this machine and would highly recommend!!! It's so easy to use; just put it on a section of your hair and close and hold. Voila! you have amazing curls :) For the price, you cant beat this!

I am super happy with this Bedhead waver! My hair is SUPER baby fine and about to my collarbone—it’s not thin but I don’t have thick hair at all. I thought with how baby fine my hair is, that this wouldn’t work so well, but I am very pleased with the results. So far, so good and so far deserves my 5 star rating (I don’t give out five stars easily). I was able to have pretty waves in less than five minutes—just trying it out I heated the wand, and then pulling up a few sections of hair at a time, I clamped the sections for about 8 seconds (I could probably do shorter). I did varying things: some sections I just did at the middle, some closer to the top, and some I did in two places on that section and then let it set for a minute to cool—just to see a sample of what it would do. Just doing that quick test of it resulted in really pretty deep waves. I then brushed through it to see what it would do and that made looser more relaxed waves. I figured the waves would just go flat because that’s what my hair usually does, as baby fine as it is, but those waves lasted all day, and when I slept on them, the next morning there were still some beachy waves left. SUPER HAPPY! This is much easier than the wand I used before, where you wrap sections of hair around the wand, and though I still like that product, this barrel clamp was much faster and made deeper waves that lasted. This made me look as if I have twice the hair I have! And, for the test, I didn’t use any product. So with a little product (especially something to protect my hair from the heat), and taking my time with it and experimenting with looks, I am expecting even better results. This waver was at a big discount store for almost twice as much as it is here on Amazon so it’s a great buy—snap it up while it’s only a little over $16! A bargain, easy to use, fast, and made me happy: win-win.

I've been on a lookout for a tool that can give me a wavy look. For several months, I looked at all kinds of triple barrel irons but I couldn't justify spending over $75 for one. Then I stumbled upon a review that included this Bed Head Deep Waver. I got curious and checked Amazon. Lo and behold, there was an open-box waver available. I contemplated the purchase and eventually took the risk. This time, it worked out in my favour! + Shipping was fast and the tool was in good working order. It heated up quickly. It waved my hair without issue. The temperature-control allowed me to wave thin hair at low temperature and thick hair at max temperature. The locking mechanism is very convenient! Best of all, it gave me waves (not the crimped look) and it didn't fall flat by the end of the day! Oh... and I spent a third of what I may have spent at a salon store here in the city! On the attached photo, to get me from straight hair to wavy, it took me about 10 minutes... (I've got long, thick, hair). As of now, I'm so very happy with the BedHead Deep Waver! My hope is that it lasts. Only time will tell, I guess. Best of luck, Hairstyling Reader! :)

This is a great hair tool to buy if you are craving those beach hair days. It heats up quick I like how there is one one temperature so it eliminates the guessing part. I think this is better for someone with hair that is past their shoulders - my hair is shoulder length and it's a bit tricky to use at the beginning but once you get used to it, it's a breeze. The lock function is practical so it does not take up too much space when storing it. The waver looks like a good quality that will last a long time and I am in love with the teal colour. Overall an affordable, great waver to have in your arsenal! I have included some photos for those thinking of purchasing this. :-) I hope you find this review helpful!

This is one of my best purchases. I have fine/thin/wavy/curly/frizzy hair, about 6 inches past my shoulders. It doesn’t look good when I diffuse it. It looks pretty good when I curl it (1” barrel gives me nice wavey curls) but it doesn’t last and it goes pretty flat at my roots. I LOVE this waver. I’ve used it twice— super easy even the first time and it took about five minutes. I did my whole head of hair in 6 or 7 sections. I was worried at first about lining up the waves (you kind of overlap the last wave as you move down each section of hair) but it was so easy and you don’t have to be too precise. The first time I used it the waves lasted 5 days and would have lasted longer but it was time to wash my hair. At night I put my hair in a loose ponytail on the very top of my head— with a scrunchie so it doesn’t make weird creases. Having it up all night gives tons of root volume. I didn’t brush it in the morning (or ever). This tool gets very hot on the highest setting. I use a heat protectant (that’s the only product I use on my hair) and I do use the highest setting but I only clamp the hair for a few seconds. Thankfully I haven’t burned myself yet. You’ll be really happy with this tool if you have hair like mine!

I'm someone who is not at all skilled when it comes to styling hair. Anything more than a ponytail, bun or hair straightener is usually beyond my capabilities, but I always wanted to achieve the "beachy waves" look. I saw reviews for this on youtube and decided to give it a try, and if I can make this work, ANYONE can make it work. The product is super easy to use and is as straightforward as a hair tool could possibly be. It creates lovely waves that hold all day with hairspray (and I have very thick hair). The only two issues I had with it were that it doesn't show what temperature the tool is at, and the handle occasionally caused my hand to cramp up. But both of these problems are really just mild inconveniences. Overall, great product, I'm super happy with my purchase. For anyone who buys this and can't seem to figure it out, I highly recommend checking out youtube tutorials for it, as there are plenty of helpful ones out there.

Works good but you can get cheaper ones that work just as well
