Curly hair is taking the beauty world by storm yet again, so we thought we’d get in on the action too here at Beauty and the Dirt. The first thing we did? We summoned the funky-looking curling tong that intrigued us the most. Naturally.
Our office doors opened and in comes the BaByliss Diamond Waves tongs, with a specially designed curling wand. It is all wavy-davy looking and is even infused with glittery bits in the ceramic barrel. Even better! This particular curling tool promises effortless styling and shiny, natural-looking waves. So we put it to the test, and filmed it too.

I specialise in people’s faces, not necessarily their hair – so you could say I am not one of these hair gurus by any means. But this wand seriously makes it easy to pull off salon-worthy curls at home – and if I can do it, you can too.
The verdict
You can tell from the video that damn, those curls were all the same perfectly curled curls, due to the clever shape of the tong, allowing for the consistency all over. It is so so easy to use, it practically guides the strand of hair to where it should go. WHY aren’t all curling tongs shaped like this?
The only thing is Vesi’s hair was quite long so the bottom of the strands of hair had to twist around the bottom bit of the wand a few times, but that didn’t compromise on the curl at all.
The BaByliss Diamond Waves has a top temperature of 210°C , but also has 5 temperature settings, so you can just it to suit your hair. It heats up fast, was ready to use in just 40 seconds!
It is safe to say I was super jealous of Vesi’s stunning curly hair once I was done. It was unreal!
