BaBylissPRO Curling Wand 28mm Clip-Less Wand

Q: What temperature should I use for my hair type?

The wand offers five settings: 140u00b0C, 160u00b0C, 180u00b0C, 190u00b0C and 200u00b0C. As a general guide, use the lower settings for fine or colour-treated hair and the higher settings for thick or coarse hair that needs more heat to hold a curl. Always apply a heat-protection product first, and the auto-lock keeps your chosen setting from changing mid-style.

The BaBylissPRO Curling Wand Ø 28mm is a clip-less wand with a fixed 28mm black oxide barrel, built for voluminous, bouncy curls and soft, tousled waves on any hair length. Unlike a tapered wand, the single 28mm diameter gives an even, uniform curl from root to tip — the classic, versatile mid-size that sits between tight definition and loose, beachy movement. With no clamp to leave crease lines, you simply wrap and release for soft, effortless texture. The smooth, non-stick surface glides through each section and recovers its heat quickly between curls, so your results stay consistent from the first client of the day to the last — behind the chair on a busy salon day or on location for a session shoot.

Who it is for

Salon stylists and session pros who want versatile, voluminous curls and soft waves without clamp lines
Anyone working on medium-to-long hair — the long 160mm barrel styles sections quickly and evenly
Stylists who want a true all-rounder: bouncy, defined curls one day and tousled waves the next
Pros who travel or work on location and need a multi-voltage, glove-and-mat-ready kit

Who it is not for

If you want curls that change size along the strand — looser near the root, tighter toward the ends — a tapered BaBylissPRO conical wand gives that varied, root-to-tip look
If you want very tight ringlets, a narrower wand from the range is a better fit

How to use

Always start on dry hair and apply heat protection. Choose your temperature — lower settings for fine or colour-treated hair, higher settings for thick or coarse hair — and let the wand lock in. Wearing the included glove, take a section, wrap it around the barrel from root to tip, hold for a few seconds, then release and let the curl cool. Even sections give an even, uniform curl; for a softer, tousled finish leave the very ends out and alternate the wrap direction. To clean, let the wand cool fully and wipe the non-stick black oxide barrel with a soft, dry cloth.

Pro recommendation

The fixed 28mm is the all-rounder of the range: big enough for soft, voluminous waves, defined enough for a bouncy classic curl. It is a dependable, fast, kit-bag wand for stylists who want one barrel that covers most of the day's looks. When a brief calls for tapered, root-to-tip variation, the conical wands step in alongside it.

In short:

Clip-less fixed Ø 28mm black oxide barrel for uniform, voluminous curls and soft, tousled waves
Fast 30-second heat-up, 5 locked settings to 200°C, last-setting memory
Glove and heat mat included, multi-voltage, built for salon and session work

Frequently asked questions

Who is this curling wand for?

It is made for salon stylists, session pros and confident home users who want versatile, voluminous curls and soft, tousled waves without clamp lines. The 28mm size is a true all-rounder — bouncy, defined curls or relaxed waves — and the long barrel suits medium-to-long hair especially well.

What size curls does the 28mm barrel create?

28mm is the versatile mid-size: not too tight, not too loose. It gives soft, bouncy, well-defined curls with plenty of movement, and brushes out into voluminous, tousled waves. Because the barrel is a fixed diameter, the curl stays an even, uniform size from root to tip.

What is the difference between this and a conical wand?

This wand has a single fixed 28mm diameter, so each curl is a uniform size — ideal for a consistent, classic curl. A tapered BaBylissPRO conical wand changes diameter along the barrel, so the curl varies from root to tip for a more lived-in, natural look. Many stylists keep both for different briefs.

What temperature should I use for my hair type?

The wand offers five settings: 140°C, 160°C, 180°C, 190°C and 200°C. As a general guide, use the lower settings for fine or colour-treated hair and the higher settings for thick or coarse hair that needs more heat to hold a curl. Always apply a heat-protection product first, and the auto-lock keeps your chosen setting from changing mid-style.

Is the 28mm a good size for my hair length?

It is at its best on medium-to-long hair, where the long barrel styles sections quickly and gives full, bouncy curls and soft waves. It also works on shorter, shoulder-length hair; for very short styles a smaller-diameter wand usually holds shape better.

Can I use it when travelling abroad?

Yes. It is multi-voltage and runs on 100-240V, so it works on mains power anywhere in the world with a suitable plug adapter. The 2.8m swivel cord and built-in safety stand also make it practical for location and session work.
