I tested theS1 Dual Voltage White Rotating Iron, which is one of the brands most popular models.
To prep, I sprayed my hair with theMoroccanoil Protect Defense Heat Protectant.
(This isnt very different from how I usually prep my hair for curling.)
Before using the Beachwaver.

Second, releasing the button at least two inches from my scalp kept me from burning myself.

The waves I created were not only pretty but also long-lasting.
Before using the Beachwaver.
Seriously, this look lasted all day without falling.
The price is undeniably higher than drugstore-priced hot tools, but you’re also paying for the patented technology.
Not to sound like a broken record, but it legit does the hard work for you.

What’s not to love?
and we really don’t want that for you.
