This summer, give influencer-like beachy waves a rest and opt for something more timeless and natural. Enter: the triple-barrel curler. If you’re not aware of this game-changing styling tool superstar, your world — and your curls — are about to be rocked.
Standard curling rods usually give you rolling curls, which you have to manipulate into tousled or breezy waves with texturizing sprays or mists. But deep waves caused by 3-barrel curlers are incredibly refreshing, especially if you’re going for a more intense but effortless look.
Here, the triple-barrel curler secrets that will make you look like you woke up with a full head of curls.

What You Need to Know
This kind of curler has 3 barrels. Instead of rolling your hair around it, you just need to sandwich your hair and hold it inside, like you do with a straightener. We promise, it only looks complicated. It's obviously more user-friendly than a traditional curling iron and allows for a more relaxed getting-ready routine.
