Grazia's senior beauty writer, Samantha Price reviewed this tool and found: 'Toni & Guy's Deep Barrel Hair Waver makes effortless-looking waves at a fraction of the cost. They're an accessible pair of wavers that come highly rated by reviewers for creating perfect mermaid waves. I've found that there is a knack to doing it, so you might want to experiment and see what works for you.
