London — Known for setting the gold standard in hairstyling tools, Ghd’s latest launch—the Wave Triple Barrel Hair Waver—promises to deliver effortless, long-lasting mermaid waves. With beachy textures tipped to be this summer’s defining style, we put the much-hyped tool to the test to see if it truly lives up to expectations.
First Impressions
The Ghd Wave Triple Barrel Hair Waver immediately stands out for its sizeable design. Initially daunting in size, the tool proved surprisingly lightweight during use, although its bulk did present some challenges when styling closer to the roots. Thanks to the three-barrel design, creating waves across larger sections of hair is faster, and the consistent 185°C heat ensures smooth, even styling without dreaded creases—often the downfall of traditional wavers.
Performance and Practicality
Despite its larger frame, the waver’s ergonomic features make a difference: the heat-protected tips allow safe handling, and a built-in stand offers a handy resting point between sections. However, the lack of a heat-proof mat is a notable drawback, especially given the tool’s size and potential to cause surface damage if knocked over. A thoughtful bonus is the automatic sleep mode, which activates after 60 minutes for added safety.
In use, the tool delivered soft, natural-looking waves, enhancing the hair’s natural texture with additional shine. Unlike some triple-barrel wavers that create sharply defined crimps, Ghd’s model offers a more relaxed, air-dried finish—a win for those seeking an understated, effortless look.
Limitations to Consider
Shorter hair proved trickier to style with the device, as smaller sections didn’t fit neatly across all three barrels. Those with bobs or cropped styles may find better results with a single-barrel tool. Additionally, while the waver works beautifully on fine or straight hair, it may not offer enough grip or power to style curlier or afro hair textures effectively.
Final Verdict
For those with longer, finer hair looking for easy, polished mermaid waves, the Ghd Wave Triple Barrel Hair Waver is an impressive, user-friendly option. It blends signature Ghd innovation with a fresh, summer-ready finish—just be prepared to invest in a separate heat-proof mat for peace of mind.
