From a Tiny Stick to a Self-Swirling Barrel, Our 6 Favorite Curling Irons

Tymo’s CurlPro Plus won top marks in a consumer test of six curling irons, largely because it delivered consistent curls with a built-in auto-rotating mechanism and safety protections. The device rotates an inner chamber after a section of hair is fed through an upper slot, then stops automatically when the hair is fully wound. Anti-snarl sensors halt rotation if resistance is detected, and testers also highlighted a heavy outer layer that separates skin from the two heat sources. Reported specs include three temperature settings (320–410°F), multiple diameters (1 and 1.25 inches), a swivel 6.5-foot cord, and an auto-off after 10 minutes.
