Electric curlers: varieties, tips for choosing

Elastic curls are the dream of most women of different ages. Curled hair transforms the feminine look, makes it festive and bright. But few are willing to spend precious time creating such a hairstyle. Save the situation with electric curlers, which are now actively produced by different companies. They are bought for both professional and home use. What they are, how to choose the right tool for styling, will be discussed in the article.

Electric curlers in appearance are very similar to conventional, well-known to all hair curlers. The only difference is the availability of a special device that is used to heat them.

The process of heating the hair rollers is concentrated in their inner part, due to which there is no harm from the coils even for very dry hair with a thinned structure. The inner rollers, when heated, transmit the temperature of the outer surface of the curler. After reaching a certain temperature, you can begin to form curls. On the head they are held until they are completely cooled.

For electric curlers are characterized by both positive and negative sides, the study of which is important before the acquisition and use of the device.

Benefits:

• fast obtaining the desired result (on average 10 minutes is enough);
• long-term preservation of the result, subject to the technology and recommendations of specialists;
• safe exposure typical for some coatings (velor, velvet, ceramics);
• simple use;
• ionization.

The main division is based on coating materials. It is on this criterion that you need to pay attention in the first place.

Plastic is a classic option that has become widespread. When working with such curlers need some dexterity and sleight of hand. These skills will allow you to get the necessary effect on the hair.

Ceramics are more expensive. The main advantage is a mild effect on the curls and minimal harm to them, even with frequent use. With good warming, the hair is not injured, curls well and holds for a long time in the form of curls.

A worthy alternative are ceramic curlers with plastic coating. They are more affordable, and the effect on the hair and the result is no worse than in the case of fully ceramic devices.

Velor coating has a velvety surface. Accessories with a cylindrical shape are equipped with small holes, which ensures quick drying of the strands.

It is velor that is considered the safest and most gentle for hair. In such accessories there are no clips that could leave creases on the strands.

Teflon electric curlers are held in high esteem by professional craftsmen and ordinary amateurs. With a quick effect, the hair does not experience high loads, because such accessories are recommended even to owners of dry, depleted and brittle curls.

Electric curlers differ not only in the coating material, but also in the configuration, size and shape. These characteristics are also worth considering when choosing a tool for creating curls. Options may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. But the general points remain unchanged:

• rollers;
• case for heating;
