Rank #8 in Best Hair Curlers: 10 Ranked, and Where the Specs Disagree
Wahl Ceramic Curling Tong, 25mm Barrel
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Wahl Curling Tong is the entry at #8 in this guide, and the listing prices it at £14.99. It is a corded 25 mm barrel tong built for curls, and the strongest numbers on its page are not about styling language: a Best Sellers Rank that reads 1,769 in Beauty and 2 in Curling Tongs, and 2,321 ratings averaging 4.3 out of 5.
Where several tongs in this guide contradict their own spec sheets, the Wahl's headline figures line up. The title says a 25 mm barrel; the size field says 25 mm. A bullet says it "quickly reaches a consistent 200°C"; the maximum temperature setting says 200 degrees Celsius. The one field that does not survive a second look is "Model Number", which reads 5037127020999 — the same digits as the barcode in the GTIN field (05037127020999), so it is not a model code at all; the model name given is simply "WAHL Ceramic Curling Tong Quick Heat". Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product, not from our own testing.
