It Only Took Five Minutes for This Hair Waver to Give Me the Volume of My Dreams

While I'm not a huge fan of Aquamarine (sorry, Emma Roberts), there's one thing from the staple tween film that's stuck with me all these years later. And no, I'm not talking about the DIY teal mini dress or the starfish earrings that instantly field compliments from strangers. Rather, it's Sara Paxton's effortless beach waves. Her character's flowing tresses fall somewhere in between a polished loose curl and the crimped styles of the '80s. While it may have taken me over a decade, I've finally figured out exactly how to replicate the voluminous surfer-chic 'do, and all I needed was a hair waver. Designed to deliver soft, lived-in texture without the high-maintenance styling time of traditional curlers, hair wavers offer an easy shortcut to that perfectly tousled look. They utilize the barrel design of your favorite curling irons and wands to deliver deep S-waves in record time. 'Unlike curling irons that create curls or flat irons that smooth the hair, a waver presses the hair between ridged barrels to create consistent, ripple-like waves from root to end,' explains Carrie Prowant, a certified trichologist and hair extension specialist. She adds that the innovative tool boosts volume and generally lasts longer than traditional curls, too. My favorite part? It seriously takes seconds and works on all hair types and textures. Whether you want to amplify your natural curls, add volume to fine, straight strands, or zhuzh up your go-to wavy style, a hair waver can live up to the task. To find the best options out there, I've tested top sellers, tapped Prowant, and scanned through dozens of customer reviews. Ahead, shop the best hair wavers of 2025. The Amika High Tide Deep Waver is Prowant's favorite on the market. 'The rounded clamp minimizes creasing, has a 30-minute auto shut-off, and uses infrared heat to lock in moisture for less frizziness,' she says. Barrel size: 0.7 inch Temperature: 120°F–390°F Amazon rating: 4.6/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I love my Amika waver—it gives me perfect beachy waves and total mermaid hair vibes! Super easy to use and the results last all day.' As a beauty writer living in a tiny NYC apartment, my vanity drawers just can't keep up with the amount of products and tools I use. Fortunately, Drybar created a one-stop-shop curling iron—complete with a curling iron, wand, and of course, a hair waver. Barrel size: 0.75 inch waver, 1 inch wand, 1.25 inch curling iron Temperature: Up to 450°F Ulta rating: 3.8/5 An Ulta reviewer says: 'I am super impressed with this 3-in-1 combo! It's super easy to interchange which tool you're using and it heats up quickly. I really love the results I get with the beach wave attachment.' The Sheglam Beach Babe Hair Waver combines the sleek benefits of a flat iron with the effortless texture of a hair waver. It heats up incredibly fast, leaves no dents, and is so quick and easy to clamp along to each strand. Barrel size: 1 inch Temperature: 270°F —410°F An ELLE editor says: 'The Sheglam Beach Babe Hair Waver really surprised me. I expected the clamp design to leave more dents, but was met with a fully dent-free hairdo. In fact, the clamp made waving my strands even easier to execute than typical barrels, since it really grips each section. Even on a low heat setting, five seconds seemed to be the sweet spot for perfectly tousled beach waves.'—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer. If you desire waves so natural they look like you just woke up—but way more polished, of course—try the BondiBoost Wave Wand 3-Barrel Hair Waver. The 1.25-inch barrels are noticeably larger than those of other brands, and deliver chic, loose curls with minimal effort. Barrel size: 1.25 inches Temperature: 175°F —410°F Sephora rating: 4.4/5 A Sephora reviewer says: 'I am obsessed with this waver. What's nice is that you can alter the temperature unlike other brands, and it comes with a hand mitten to make sure you don't burn yourself and gives you the most beautiful waves. My hair doesn't hold curls at all but with the waver it held all day even through my workout! I give this a 10/10. I'm also a hairstylist and I love using it on my clients to give them beachy waves.' When it comes to hair wavers, the smaller the barrels, the tighter the waves. Mermade Hair's Cutie Pro Waver offers up three barrels under one inch in size, so you can achieve the fresh-out-of-the-ocean curls you've been craving. Barrel size: 0.9 inches Temperature: 180°F —410°F Mermade rating: 4.9/5 A Mermade reviewer says: 'I love the Mermade Hair Cutie Pro Waver! It's the perfect size for achieving beautiful, effortless waves. The smaller 22mm barrels give me a more defined, natural look that lasts all day. The lilac color is super cute and adds a fun pop to my hair tools collection. It heats up quickly and is easy to use, even for someone like me who isn't a hair pro. This waver has become my go-to for creating flawless, beachy waves without the frizz. Highly recommend' The Hot Tools Pro Artist 24K Gold 3 Barrel Hair Waver is perfect for those with extra-thick hair that needs a little more heat. The gold–plated barrels reach up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit—ideal for coarser strands and long-lasting curls. Just don't forget a heat protectant! Amazon rating: 4.4/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I love this tool!! It is easy to use and gives my hair the perfect wave look. I have very thick hair and it works great on it. Heats up in just a few seconds.' If you're already comfortable using a wand to curl your hair but are looking for a softer wave, Prowant recommends the GHD Classic Wave Oval Curling Wand. 'It reduces frizz and adds shine, heats up fast, and creates romantic waves' courtesy of the unique oval shape. Barrel size: 1.5inches Temperature: Preset to 365°F Sephora rating: 3.8/5 A Sephora reviewer says: 'This oval shape gives interesting curls that look very textured. I find it looks best when you alternate directions between sections of hair. GHD tools are always top quality, and quick and easy to use. I like it!' First, you want to 'make sure the hair is completely dry and prepped with a heat protectant,' says Prowant. 'My favorite is the Keranique Strengthening Leave-In—it's a great primer and adds shine to the waves.'Next, divide your hair into three sections—top, middle, and bottom—using clips. Once the waver is heated to your desired temperature, 'position the waver near the roots, leaving a small gap if you want softer volume, and clamp it down for five to 10 seconds.'Release and move the waver down the strand, aligning the barrels with the last wave to create a continuous pattern. Continue down the hair shaft to the ends, ensuring even tension. Repeat the process across all your strands—and voilà! Absolutely! 'Hair wavers work well on all hair types, but may yield different results,' explains Prowant. On straight hair, the waver creates visible S-waves that hold well—especially with heat protectant and texture spray. For coarse, thick hair, the tool adds structure and definition, but may require higher heat and smaller sections for even results. For naturally wavy hair, it enhances and defines the waves for a polished yet beachy finish. On curly hair, the tool 'can be used to loosen curls into waves if hair is smoothed first, or to create uniform wave patterns.' Finally, wavers add volume and texture to fine hair, but 'use lower heat to avoid damage.' Carrie Prowant is a hair stylist, certified trichologist, and hair extension specialist.

K-Beauty Fans, Rejoice: These Viral Korean Brands Just Hit Ulta

It's no secret that Korean beauty companies are often light years ahead when it comes to innovation—but unfortunately, many of the newest (and more niche) products are either hard to find in the U.S. or cost a fortune to import. The good news? Ulta has partnered with online shopping platform K-Beauty World to bring a slew of buzzy K-beauty brands to its shelves. Shop Ulta's K-Beauty Section You can now shop skin care from Mixsoon, Neogen, Some By Mi, I'm From, Chasin' Rabbits, and Sungboon Editor in Ulta stores and online—plus sparkly eyeshadows, dewy lip tints, and more from emerging K-makeup brands Unleashia and Rom&nd. And through a separate partnership with Hansung Beauty, cult-loved formulas from Ma:nyo, Mediheal, Fwee, TirTir, and VT Cosmetics are also available—from viral spicules-infused serums to cushion compacts. Below, we've rounded up some of the best new K-beauty finds to snag now—including plenty of ELLE editor and expert-approved picks. With its playful packaging and soothing ingredients, Chasin' Rabbits delivers the kind of skin care you'll actually look forward to using daily. One standout? The brand's Bunny Line Smoother. Infused with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and matcha extract, it works to hydrate and de-puff the delicate under-eye area. It also features a cooling metal tip that also doubles as a mini gua sha roller. Odds are you've seen TirTir's cushion foundation all over your FYP. After testing the viral formula myself, I can confirm it delivers impressive coverage—blurring pores, redness, and hyperpigmentation in a single swipe—and it stays put all day. Just be sure to moisturize well beforehand to avoid any dry patches. Mixsoon's minimalist, gentle formulas are also ELLE editor favorites. 'Because I'm acne-prone, I can't indulge in just any sunscreen, which is why I love this one,' says Beauty Commerce Editor Nerisha Penrose. 'With no pore-clogging ingredients and a soft-to-the-touch, non-white finish, this has quickly become my go-to.' 'I recommend these pads to anyone looking to firm their skin,' Hyo Hyun Ahn, a dermatology professor at Korea University College of Medicine, previously told ELLE. 'They deliver a nourishing, firming treatment infused with micro-collagen, ceramides, and milk protein.' What's more, they come with a set of tweezers to keep application as hygienic as possible. Spicules are one of the hottest trends in skin care right now, offering an effective, at-home alternative to professional microneedling treatments. This lower-dose version of VT Cosmetics' popular Reedle Shot serum is ideal for beginners, and it's formulated with Centella Asiatica to support skin healing. 'This new type of under-eye patch delivers hydrolyzed collagen to the under-eye area,' Sarah Chung Park, CEO of the company Landing International behind K-Beauty World, previously told ELLE. 'It is not kept on like a hydrogel mask, but rather it transfers the collagen powder directly to the under eye area.' Essentially, these melt right into the skin so you don't have to peel them off later. Also included in this set are patches for larger areas of your face. While some Korean makeup products can be light on pigment, Fwee offers vivid formulas designed to flatter a range of skin tones. This editor-approved lip and cheek tint went viral for its whipped, mousse-like feel that melts seamlessly into skin. With over 30 shades to choose from, you're bound to find at least one that works for you. Banish breakouts with this Some By Mi toner, which we named one of the all-time best K-beauty products for acne. It features three kinds of chemical exfoliants—AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs—to help unclog pores and encourage cell turnover. For long-lasting, your-lips-but-better color, our editors swear by rom&nd's The Juicy Lasting Tint. Available in 13 shades—from subtle peachy browns to rich magenta—it delivers a vibrant, hydrating finish. Pro tip: After applying, let it settle before pressing your lips together—this helps the glassy sheen stay put all day. Neogen—best known for its top-rated Korean toner pads—specializes in straightforward formulas packed with high-performing actives. These glow-boosting peel pads are especially great for sensitive skin, combining exfoliating AHAs with soothing ingredients like green tea and Centella Asiatica. They're also double-sided, with a textured surface that gently amps up exfoliation. With bold pigments and sparkles, indie brand Unleashia's cult-favorite eyeshadows are all about self-expression. This palette includes nine biodegradable glitter shades, each with a buttery-smooth texture that blends like a dream. Prioritizing botanicals and ancient fermentation technology, I'm From's lineup is farm-to-face skin care at its finest. The Rice Whip Cleanser is designed to gently remove makeup and impurities, with a creamy texture that transforms into a rich lather when activated with water.
