Curls are a staple in today’s hair trends. Whether it’s vivacious locks rocked by international superstars like Beyoncé, or soft waves sported by K-pop idols, a little volume and curl does wonders to change up your regular hairstyle. That’s why hair curlers are a convenient tool and a low-commitment alternative to perming.
If you’re looking to rock everything from perm-like curls to natural waves, check out this list of best hair curlers in Singapore that will get the job done.

Singapore’s humidity is not your friend when it comes to keeping curls in, but these will help your hair keep volume throughout the day.
Use a volumising shampoo beforehand and avoid using heavy hair conditioners. If you’re able to, avoid washing your hair 1-2 days before you plan to curl it. The grease acts to hold the curl together.
You’ll be using a hot styling tool, which can easily damage your hair, so you’ll need a hair heat protectant for curls to ensure you aren’t burning your hair to a crisp. As you style your hair, use hair mousse on your ends and scrunch your hair up to lock the curls in place. Then, to keep your hairstyle lasting all day long, use hair spray all over to tame flyaways.
Pro-tip: The higher the heat settings and timer durations are, the more suitable it is for thicker hair and to create tighter curls.
Here’s a breakdown of all the prices for our list of best curlers in Singapore.

It’s human nature to find the easiest possible way to get things done, and it’s no different when it comes to hair styling tools. Enter the Pro Bab2665H Miracurl by BaByliss that’s highly rated among reviewers online.
This handy gadget does away with the need to manually twirl your hair around a styling iron, risking accidental burns in the process. Instead, just place small sections of your hair into the barrel and click a button for auto-curling. An audio timer – which you can set for 8, 10 or 12 seconds – will then beep to let you know when it’s time to release your hair.
You won’t have to worry about finding the correct angle to position this device either, as it comes with 3 curl settings that indicate which side of the head it’s meant to be used on.
Suitable for: All hair types
Heat settings: 190°C, 210°C, 230°C

What makes this a reliable tool is its ability to heat up within 1 minute, perfect for those who’re always rushing to head out. You can also customise your preferred temperature as there are 12 heat settings for more precise styling.

One common pet peeve when it comes to regular curling irons is that they may not distribute heat evenly onto all parts of the hair.

That’s also why this curling wand is perfect for creating crisp, tight, and bouncy curls with lots of volume. It’s pretty easy to use too: just twirl your hair around the barrel and hold for 5-8 seconds.
Suitable for: All hair types

The Dyson Airwrap is a no-brainer when it comes to the best hair curlers in Singapore, especially since it has been highly raved-about since it first hit the market in 2018. Unlike conventional hair curlers, this one uses air instead of direct heating plates for less heat damage. It also automatically wraps your hair around its barrel, so no manual hair twirling is needed.
Fetching a cool $699, it’s obviously the priciest option on this list, but you’ll be glad to know that a basic kit comes with additional attachments. 30MM and 40MM styling barrels, a smoothing brush, a pre-styling dryer, and a storage case are all included for all-rounded styling.
Suitable for: Medium to long hair
Heat settings: Heats below 150°C
Price: $799

The Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is widely known as a more affordable alternative to the Dyson Airwrap. It comes with 6 attachments: 2x 1.25 barrels – one curls outwards and the other inwards to curl both sides of your head, a paddle brush, an oval brush, a dryer concentrator, and a diffuser.
What sets this hair-curling blow dryer apart from the Airwrap is its handle, which can rotate to a 90-degree angle. Some reviewers have said that this makes drying and styling their hair much easier, as they won’t need to twist their arms or flip their heads to reach areas that are less accessible.
Suitable for: All hair types
Heat settings: 3 modes
