They are excellent for creating loose, frizz-free waves like Zoe's. This model includes a swivel cord for easy styling and comes with a protective glove to prevent burns. And the best news is the price: just $16! Another top tip for perfect waves is clean, conditioned hair. We recommend TRESemmé Ondas (IM) perfectas ($ 8) to give your hair even more texture.
After drying your hair, and before using this wonder tool, don’t forget to apply a thermal protector. We recommend Revlon UniqOne ($18). Suitable for all hair types, it reduces frizz, adds shine, protects your color and prevents those annoying split ends.
To finish off your 'Zoe effect' 'do, apply a fixing spray such as L'Oréal Paris Stylist Spray Beach ($7) to achieve long-lasting, relaxed surfer-chic waves.
