Differences between Beachwaver Pro and S1

Despite being originated from the same Beachwaver family, there are some critical specs, which differentiate these products. Some indispensable attributes (functional, technical, safety, hair care) have been modernized in the Beachwaver Pro1 curling iron. Let us just put a glance over the critical properties of Beachwaver S1 and Beachwaver Pro 1:

    • Ceramic Barrel
    • Tourmaline Barrel
    • 24k Gold Plated Barrel
  • Latest:
    • Tourmaline Ceramic Barrel
    • Ceramic Titanium Barrel
    • Nonionic Mineral Barrel
Beachwaver S1: Ceramic Barrel Material

It is the most decent material among all the barrel materials and it offers loads of benefits, which makes it a cut above the cheaper aluminum alternatives. Ceramic barrels glide through without meaning so much damage, breakage, tugging, and snags. Ceramic has a good status of diffusing the heat evenly. Thus, the strands are perfectly curled without being burnt or damaged. Ceramic is an inorganic and nonmetallic material that disperses negative ions. The negative ions come in touch with the cuticles, make the hair smooth, and protect from being damaged. The negative ion and evenly heat diffusing technology are key features of Ceramic barrels. According to the material quality, barrels are best for thin and medium-thick and semi or curly hairs. However, the ceramic barrels are not as efficient as the Tourmaline barrels but it is the best at a moderate price rate.

Beachwaver Pro1: Tourmaline Ceramic Barrel Material

Barrels of Beachwaver Pro 1 is made of Tourmaline Ceramic. It is an advanced state of mere ceramic or Tourmaline material. The Tourmaline Ceramic technology can be considered as the present gold standard. This infused Tourmaline technology has replaced the core ceramic material. This semi-precious metal crush is a crystal-born silicate material that spawns 20 times more moisture-locking ions that aid in the hair smoothing process.

Tourmaline Ceramic barrels produce extra negative ions (6 times more than the Ceramic Barrels) to counterattack the positive ions located into dull, dry and frizzy hairs. These ions are locked into the hairs’ natural oils and that is how it protects the delicate strands from constant heating or high heating. Tourmaline Ceramic barrels create infrared heat that generates silky, shiny, smooth hairs and eliminates static stubborn straight strands.

These barrels are suited for every types and length of hair. These barrels aid winding up the follicle upon interaction and lessen heat mutilation to sensitive curls, predominantly essential for a daily basis using curling irons. Tourmaline Ceramic barrels are extremely smooth-bodied, when you pass them off your hairs it adds more TLC and vanishes fizziness leaving behind a textured and smooth touch.

In short, the Beachwaver Pro 1 curling iron has the latest and irreplaceable barrel material technology.

Temperature

Temperature is the key feature to create those super looking red carpet-worthy curls. Temperature adjustment is the most fundamental property of any curling iron as it determines the curls’ quality, texture along with the time limit of the curls.

Color-treated hair290 F- 350 F

If you restrain from washing your hairs, the curls may stay the same for 36 to 48 hours.

  • up to 6 cm: Long Hair
  • Up to 7 cm: extra-long hair

Beachwaver Pro 1: Barrel Diameter

Beachwaver Pro 1 ensures an extra-large barrel diameter of 6.5 cm. This extra-long diameter works perfectly for every hair length. Even you can apply it on short hairs also as it has Tourmaline Ceramic technology that creates fine, textured curls on every type of hair.

Technical Aspects

Auto-Rotating Technology: Dual Rotation

Autorotation is a technology that refers to the idea of barrels’ automatic rotation with a single press of a switch. It is an automated process. Auto-Rotating Technology is the state of the art technology; it is the newest addition to the curling iron trades. Automatic rotation can be divided into two categories:

Mono Rotation

This kind of rotation is a one-way rotating system. It can rotate in a particular dimension at a time. Maximum rotating curling irons possess mono rotation technology. While using mono rotating curling irons, you need to put extra effort with your hair regarding the left or right side determination.

Dual Rotation

This kind of rotating technology rotates in both the left and right directions. Beachwaver Curling Irons have ensured the dual rotating technology. The barrels rotate both in left and right directions. This dual rotation system prevents hairs from being burnt. Even this definite rotation system minimizes the risk of hand burning. Thus, it has become so easy to curl both the right and left parts of your hair.

Both the Beachwaver Pro 1 and Beachwaver S1 have the dual rotation technology. There are directions inscribed in the bodies of these products. In that case, Beachwaver Pro 1 leads this category again as the rotation directions are inscribed as Right and Left options. Also, the Beachwaver S1 has just two arrow signs to determine the rotation directions. It is easy to use the Beachwaver Pro 1 due to the vivid left and Right directions inscribed in it. Often the arrow buttons of Beachwaver S1 appear to be a bit confusing and create hindrance while using.

Reset Technology

Due to the dual rotation, these Beachwaver Products demand a reset system so that after rotating to a particular direction it can change its direction again. Generally, there are two different technologies are used in these two models and they are:

Home Technology

Home technology is used in Beachwaver S1 Curling iron. If you are done with curling the right side of your hair and you are up to do the left side, you may simply press the Home button inscribed in the iron body and your gadget will be reset. Then you can press the arrow directed to the left side. That is all. You are all set to have an outstanding curl on your left side too. The Home Technology is the latest technology and it makes the gadget super easy to use.

Memory Technology

Memory Technology is used in Beachwaver Pro 1 curling iron. This technology is quite outdated than Home technology. In-Memory Technology, you have to press the power button to reset the barrels. Instead of resetting the barrels, it restarts the gadgets. It is a major drawback of the Beachwaver Pro 1 Curling Iron.

Observation: In this aspect, Beachwaver Pro 1 stands out the Dual Rotation direction criteria and the Beachwaver S1 stands out the Reset technology Criteria.

Again, as the strands remain into the curling process hairs are likely to be more protected. The Beachwaver Pro 1 has a silver clamp and the Beachwaver S1 has a black plastic clamp.

Auto Shut Off

The products have 30 minutes auto shut-off technology. If the user forgets to shut the gadget off, the gadget will automatically shut off after 30 minutes. This auto shut-off technology reduces the risks of products’ exploration or internal burning or any kind of other accidents.

Best For

Beachwaver Pro 1 and Beachwaver S1 are applicable for different hair types. Three major features determine the applicable hair types for any product. Also, they are:

According to these three features, let us see which product is best for which hair types.

Beachwaver S1 Best for Thin, Medium-thick, semi curly and curly hairs

Beachwaver S1 is a masterpiece of creating loose and old Hollywood waves. The 1-inch Barrels create semi sized authentic curls on medium and long hairs. Extra-long hairs cannot hold the short curls made by this barrel length. Again, Beachwaver S1 is not good with Shorthairs, as the curls made by this product look ineffective on short hairs. The average temperature appears to be ineffective with the stubborn straight strands but good for semi curly or curly hairs to do a simple touch up. The barrel material adds extra volume to medium thick and thin hairs but the thick ones look unkempt.

Beachwaver Pro 1: Best for all types of hair

Beachwaver Pro 1 with the idyllic temperature and barrel material has been the best in the Beachwaver family. Not only it produces the maximum heat but it also certifies heat-protective barrel materials. So that the hairs face less damage, even they are nourished. Though you can apply Beachwaver Pro 1 in all types of hairs the barrel length sometimes, seems to act inappropriately on extra-long hairs. However, the materials and the temperature have made it able to go well with all types of hairs. In short, Beachwaver Pro 1 is okay with extra-long hairs but it is not the best for them. With the higher heat facilities, you can make tighter curls even the spiral curls too. The Beachwaver Pro 1 is immensely used to create red carpet ready glam waves.
