crimping iron

Wavy hair tool

A crimping iron is a heated styling tool that creates zigzag waves or ridges in hair.

Unlike curling irons that produce smooth curls, crimping irons have textured plates that press hair into a corrugated pattern: She used a crimping iron for that '80s look.

The style peaked in popularity during the 1980s and has periodically returned.
