How to Use the Thin Lizzy Easy Curler: Settings, Tips and Care
Looking for the Thin Lizzy Easy Curler? The Easy Curler has been discontinued and is no longer available to buy from Thin Lizzy Australia. If you already own one, this guide shows you how to get the best curls from it, how to care for it and how to keep it charged. You can still buy the Easy Curler Fast Charge USB Adaptor.
The Easy Curler is a cordless automatic curler: you feed in a section of hair, it wraps the hair around a heated barrel for you, and a few seconds later you have a finished curl. Here's how to use it step by step, the settings to choose for your hair, fixes for common problems, and how to keep your curls smooth and long-lasting.
Easy Curler Settings at a Glance
- Heat: six settings from 150°C to 200°C.
- Timer: 10, 12, 14 or 16 seconds.
- Curl direction: left or right, chosen with a button.
- Barrel: 19mm ceramic-coated.
- Power: cordless and rechargeable, and you can use it while it charges.
Which Settings Should I Use?
- Fine, damaged or coloured hair: start at the lowest heat with a 10–12 second timer.
- Medium hair: a middle heat setting with a 12–14 second timer usually works well.
- Thick or hard-to-curl hair: use a higher heat setting and a 14–16 second timer.
Always start low and go up only if your curls don't hold. Less heat is kinder to your hair.
How to Use the Easy Curler: Step by Step
- Charge it: make sure the curler is charged before you start, or use it while it's plugged in.
- Prep your hair: start with clean, completely dry hair and brush out any tangles. Use a heat protectant spray.
- Choose your settings: pick your heat, timer and curl direction.
- Section your hair: clip the top layers up and start underneath. Work with small, smooth sections about 2–3 cm wide.
- Curl: place the section into the curler, press the button and hold the curler still until the timer finishes.
- Release gently: let the curl slide off the barrel. Don't pull it out.
- Let it cool: leave each curl to cool and set before you touch it.
- Repeat and finish: work around your head, alternating directions for a more natural look, then loosen with your fingers if you want softer waves.
Troubleshooting: Common Easy Curler Problems
My hair is getting caught or tangled
The section is usually too big or not brushed smooth. Use smaller sections, brush each one first and keep the curler steady while it works.
My curls drop too quickly
Try a slightly higher heat or a longer timer, use smaller sections, and let each curl cool completely before touching it.
It takes a long time to charge
A higher-powered charger makes a big difference. The Easy Curler Fast Charge USB Adaptor is made for the Easy Curler and charges it faster than a standard 2A charger.
It doesn't curl the first time
Check your hair is completely dry, the section isn't too thick and the curler is charged. If it still isn't working, check the instruction manual that came with your curler.
Easy Curler Fast Charge USB Adaptor
Best for: Easy Curler owners who want faster charging at home or when travelling.
An SAA-certified 3A wall charger made for the Easy Curler. It charges the Easy Curler up to 80% in half the time of most standard 2A chargers, saving around an hour of charging time.
- SAA certified for Australia and New Zealand
- Small and light for travel
- Works with other compatible USB devices
Caring for Your Easy Curler
- Switch it off and let it cool completely before cleaning or storing it.
- Wipe the outside and barrel gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove product build-up.
- Keep it away from water and store it somewhere dry.
- Clear out any loose hairs before each use.
- Always follow the safety instructions in your Easy Curler manual.
Finish Your Curls
Once your curls are done, a couple of finishing touches make them look polished and help them last.
Smooth Hair Wand
Best for: taming flyaways, baby hairs and frizzy ends after curling.
A clear, lightweight gel with a specially shaped wand that smooths stray hairs without the hard, crunchy feel of regular gel or hairspray. It washes out easily with no residue, and you can use it on your brows too.
- Clear, lightweight hold
- No crunchy or sticky feel
- Doubles as a brow gel
The Good Hair Brush
Best for: detangling before you curl, with less pulling and breakage.
Smooth, tangle-free sections curl more evenly and are less likely to catch. A gentle detangling brush helps you get there with less pulling.
