Rank #2 in Best Hair Curlers: 10 Ranked, and Where the Specs Disagree
TYMO CURLPRO Automatic Rotating Curler, Grey, 1 inch
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TYMO CURLPRO is a corded, automatic rotating curling wand with a 1 inch barrel, listed at £49.99 and rated 4.4 out of 5 from 17,104 ratings. It takes the number 2 slot in this guide, and its Amazon listing places it first in Hair Curling Wands and 372nd in Beauty overall.
The listing's own numbers are worth reading twice. Two of the five bullets both claim "500 million negative ions" — the same figure, written up as though it were a second feature. The bullets also promise waves lasting 72 hours and a routine finished in 10 minutes, while the only hard number on the spec sheet, a 210°C maximum temperature, appears in no bullet at all. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from a test of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I love this I have very fine hair took some time to work it out but love the volume it gives me I would highly recommend”
Verified purchase“I can't make flat iron curls, my Air Wrap curls look messy and drop, I had a Molly Mae Beauty Works hair wand and burnt my face and was too scared to use it again. The Tymo CurlPro produces perfect curls every time that last. No risk of burning my face or fingers. So easy to use when looking in the mirror. Buy one!!”

Questions people ask
How hot does the TYMO CURLPRO get?
The spec sheet lists a maximum temperature setting of 210°C. No bullet mentions heat at all, so that is the only temperature figure the listing gives.
What barrel size is the TYMO CURLPRO?
The listing gives a 1 inch barrel. A bullet separately mentions a "0.3 inch slot and hair guide", which is the opening the hair feeds through, not the barrel itself.
Does the TYMO CURLPRO tangle hair?
The listing says an intelligent anti-tangle mechanism detects and promptly reverses tangles, and that the 0.3 inch slot and hair guide keep hair close to the barrel without tangling.
How long do TYMO CURLPRO curls last?
A bullet claims waves lasting 72 hours. That is the wording of the listing, not a result we measured.
How long does styling take with the TYMO CURLPRO?
The listing says that in just 10 minutes you are ready to go with fabulous curls, using one-click auto-rotation.
Is the TYMO CURLPRO safe to use near the face?
The listing describes a cool-to-the-touch 360° anti-scald design and says the automatic rotating hair curler is safe for both kids and adults.
