Hair Waver & Hair Crimper in One: Which Waver Is Right for You?
You want waves that look like you didn't try. Not stiff curls. Not "I spent an hour on this." Just soft, messy, beachy texture that moves when you do.
That's the job of a good hair waver. Hair goes from flat to full, without the fuss. And you don't need a drawer full of tools to get it. You need the right one.
Waver or Hair Crimper: Do You Have to Pick?
Nope.
A classic hair crimper presses tight zigzag ridges into your hair. A waver shapes soft S-waves. Our wavers combine waving barrels and crimping in one tool, so bold '80s texture and effortless beach waves live in the same styler.

Using Your Hair Waver: Hair Prep to Finish
-
Start dry. Mist on heat protectant.
-
Match the heat to your hair. Lower for fine, higher for thick.
-
Clamp, release, move down. Roots to ends, section by section.
-
Hands off while it cools. Then texture spray. Skip the brush, or you'll brush the waves right out.
Your Waver FAQs
1. Will a waver damage my hair?
Any heat tool can, if you overdo it. Use heat protectant, stick to the lowest temperature that works, and give your hair days off.
2. Does a waver work on short hair?
Yes. On a bob or short cut, the L+W Ripple's smaller waves show up best.
3. Can I really get a hair crimper look from a triple barrel waver?
Yes. Our wavers double as a hair crimper, so you get crimped texture or soft waves without switching tools.
3. How long do the waves last?
Prep well and they'll usually last all day, often into day two, when you use a hair waver. Hair spray helps both waves and crimped styles hold.
