The Toni & Guy Deep Barrel Waver provides a good value hair solution and works well, producing wavy hair without stress or hassle. The on/off switch is handily placed on top of the waver, but has no light or noise to let you know the appliance is heating up or has got to temperature, which is always useful when you're rushing around doing other stuff, so a shame that this waver doesn't have this feature. The waver has a variable heat setting and heats up to the chosen setting quickly, so no unnecessary waiting around. It also has a good long cable for ease of use.
The product was tested on low, medium and high heat settings, the highest setting being easiest to use on my daughter's hair (long and fairly thick). The waver only needed to be applied for approx 5 seconds each time to get the desired wave affect and it can manage large chunks of hair in the waver meaning it's quick to do full head of very long hair (approx 15mins), and would take no time at all for shorter...

This gives great results but it does take time & effort & ideally someone to do it for you.
The concept is a bit like the crimping irons from the 1980's.
The technique required is to section the hair, use the iron to clamp from the top, hold for a few seconds & then move down the section, repeat for each section of hair.
The difficulty is in getting each section clamped at the same height so that when all the hair is down the waves go across the hair evenly - for this reason & because I am not very good at looking in the mirror to do hair things this isn't something I was able to do - I had to ask someone to do it for me.
The waver is quite heavy, robust, smooth & very easily to use, it has lots of heat settings & so will suit most hair types, the cord is nice & long which is very necessary.
It took around half an hour to do my hair which is quite thick, mid back length & lightly layered.
We crimped, lightly hair sprayed, let it set for half an hour &...

Had to try this out on my daughter as my hair is too short, and she regularly curls her hair using straighteners.
The 3m length cord meant I had plenty of manoeuvrability but they were quite heavy and I think had I been using it on myself, my arm might soon have started to ache.
A massive 25 different heat settings, but no info guide as to which would be most appropriate for her hair type, and most frustratingly no LED indicator to tell me when the chosen temperature setting had been reached?
Also absent was a styling guide- how to use this styler to achieve the best results, however I suppose in this day and age we're all pretty used to resorting to You-Tube tutorials for this sort of advice,maps seeing it on screen is actually more helpful than a set of static pictures in a leaflet anyway and there are plenty of You Tube tutorials available.
The results were actually pretty impressive, and with hairspray to set, the curls lasted two full days til the next wash,...
