This isn’t your crimper tool from the ‘80s. Unlike the zigzag hot plates of the past, Amika’s High Tide Deep Waver uses a triple barrel design to deliver a modern version of the crimped hair trend.

Tardo points out that it's a great pick for those with fine to medium hair texture. Another perk of this hair tool for beach waves is the negative ion technology that seals the cuticle for increased shine.
