The BodyWaver Large Wave Styler is a double-barrel heat styling tool that delivers fast volume and perfect waves that last.

The BodyWaver from Calista is a double-barrel styling tool is supposed tp delivers fast volume and perfect waves that last. Double barrel plates style hair into 1.25" waves and are coated with ceramic and tourmaline to deliver fast, consistent heat. This device has a built in heat styling timer that provides three timing options (four, six, or eight seconds) indicating how long to hold each wave, limiting heat exposure, and ensuring styling remains consistent. I wanted to love this tool, but it did not work for me. I think that maybe it is too large for most hair lengths, and it had to be at about 460 degrees for it to even hold. I appreciated the packaging, and maybe if my hair was straight, or longer, it would have created a nice waive, but I have hair that is about shoulder length, and it just seemed to make my hair dry, and the waves did not last.

The Calista BodyWaver Large Wave Styler is hands down one of the best styling tools I’ve ever used! I’ve always loved that soft, voluminous, beachy wave look, but could never quite achieve it at home—until now. This tool heats up fast and the large barrel makes it easy to create natural-looking waves that are smooth, shiny, and frizz-free. What really impressed me is how long the waves last—my hair kept its shape and volume all day without needing touch-ups. It’s super easy to use, even for someone like me who isn’t a pro at hair tools. The grip is comfortable, and it doesn’t pull or tug at my hair. It gives me that effortless, bouncy blowout look with minimal effort. I’ve received so many compliments since I started using it. Highly recommend!

The BodyWaver Large Wave Styler by Calista creates beautiful, soft waves that add noticeable volume to my crown. I have dry, wavy hair that falls just below my shoulders, and this tool gave it a lovely, natural-looking wave. I did notice it’s a bit tricky to get the ends of the strands to hold the wave as well, but the overall effect is gorgeous.The design and packaging are stunning. The tool is visually appealing and feels high-quality. I really appreciate the built-in timer feature, which signals when it’s time to move down the strand. For my hair type, which is somewhere between thick and thin, the default 4-second timer works well, though I usually release a bit earlier to prevent heat damage. On my sister’s thinner hair, however, 4 seconds felt a bit too long.The styler offers three heat settings and three timer options, which makes it versatile for different hair types. My only complaint is that the tool is on the heavier side, which could be tiring to use especially if you have a lot of hair to style.Overall, I love the soft, voluminous waves it gives. The results are similar to the look I get from sleeping in braids, but with a more polished finish. This tool is a great option if you’re looking for a quick way to achieve effortless, beachy waves with volume.
