The ionic crimper that builds root volume on a lower heat setting
Is this the right fit?
- Best for
- fine or flat hair that loses volume by noon, anyone who teases roots and wants to stop, and full-length 90s wave texture
- Skip if
- Crimped roots are meant to stay hidden under the top layer, so it takes a little sectioning practice to get right
- Check before ordering
- Confirm the dimensions, exact model, included parts and return terms on the Amazon listing before ordering.

The Wavytalk Power Wave is a crimping iron with dual-channel negative ion vents built into the plates. Crimping at the roots creates lift that lasts through the day without teasing or dry shampoo buildup, and it also works down the length for a full beachy texture. The ion vents are there to cut frizz and static as the plates close, which is the usual complaint with crimpers, where the texture comes out but the shine does not. Because the crimp pattern holds without needing maximum heat, you can work at a lower temperature than a flat iron pass. Best fit: fine or flat hair that loses volume by noon, anyone who teases roots and wants to stop, and full-length 90s wave texture.
Pros
- Root crimping holds volume through the day without teasing or dry shampoo
- Negative ion vents reduce the frizz and static crimpers usually produce
- Crimp pattern sets without needing maximum heat, so lower settings work
- Also does full-length 90s wave texture, not just root lift
Cons
- Crimped roots are meant to stay hidden under the top layer, so it takes a little sectioning practice to get right
Frequently asked questions
Will the crimp be visible?
Done at the roots and covered by the top layer, no. It reads as volume rather than texture. Crimping the full length is a separate, deliberately visible look.
What heat setting should I use?
Start low. The crimp pattern sets without maximum heat, and fine hair in particular does not need the top setting.
Does it work on short hair?
Yes for root volume, as long as there is enough length to section and clamp. Very short cuts leave little to work with.
How long does the volume last?
Most people get through a full day. Humidity shortens it, as with any heat styling.
