What Real Beauty Editors Are Buying This May

I am pretty fussy when it comes to curling irons. If it doesn't give me beach waves and work fast (I have pretty thick hair), then I'm not interested. When I tested the new CHI Automatic Rotating Curler Professional Ceramic Curling Iron ($165), I was pleasantly surprised. You simply clip your hair in, choose the direction you want the rod to spin, and hit the "go" button. It gently twirls, curling the hair for you (a great option for lazy girls). A beeping noise alerts you that the hair is heated up and it's time to release the clamp (slowly!). Then, you're left with a perfectly loose wave.
