Not only the rotation of the main element occurs automatically, but also the desired parameters of its operation are set. For example, a time sensor allows you to vary the exposure time depending on the bend, length, thickness of the hair.

Among the obvious advantages of automatic hair curlers, you can find a lot of arguments in favor of buying. The most significant pluses include the following.

• Safety precautions. Contact with the heating element is excluded, since it is hidden in the case, and the curl is wound automatically. Even open curling irons provide an opportunity to get a beautiful curl without the risk of getting a burn.
• Significant increase in curling speed. If the hair styling is carried out with a normal curling iron for about 60 minutes, automatic hair cutting reduces this time by 2-3 times.
• Professional curl formation. The curls have the same size and steepness of the curl, the exposure time is automatically controlled.

Among the automatic pads for curls, you can find different design options. There are solutions in which forceps attract strands of hair to the rotating nozzle using the physical properties of air currents - this is how they work famous models from Dyson. The automatic curling iron, which itself twists the strands, using a clamp to fix them on a rotating cylindrical heater, can have 2 types of design.

The most common version of automatic pads. The device consists of a pen holder and a stick with a heater, equipped with tongs. It rotates, and after capturing a lock of hair, you can control the entire process of curling, without effort, getting beautiful curls. But because of the peculiarities of heating, the thermal effect on the hair is uneven, the curl is not too persistent.

Externally open curling irons of an automatic type differ little from their counterpartsin which the fixation of the strand on the heater occurs manually. They have a choice of the temperature mode of the wave - you need to press a special button. Upon reaching the desired values, the heating indicator turns off. Depending on the design of the device, refueling the strand into the curling iron is done from the end or the middle. To start the rotation mechanism, you need to place a small part of the hair inside the clamps of the device, fix it and press the special button.

Automatic curling irons are produced by leading world brands. In them, only the hair dressing compartment remains in sight. The curl is formed in a special container inside the case, the device itself is more massive in size. The drum located inside rotates, providing winding of hair and forming a curl from the very roots.

Compared to open curling irons with automatic strand formation, closed models are less mobile; they are difficult to put in luggage and take with you. Both options are quite safety. But closed models have a big advantage in the form of minimum thermal exposure time and automatic shutdown. With the help of such a curling iron it is impossible to overheat the hair.

As for the diameter of the curl, it is standard for open plows, reaching 25 mm. Some models with enclosed designs have interchangeable drums with a larger diameter. With them, you can make larger curls.

By type of coating, all automatic curling irons are divided into 4 types. Do not save and buy cheap options. High-quality coating allows you to provide the necessary protection for the structure of the hair. Consider the characteristics of different coating options.

Curling irons with such a coating provide high-quality protection of hair from overheating. They are safe, do not overdry strands, and lend themselves well to care. It is only important to note that the coating is not very resistant. With intensive use, Teflon quickly erases from the tongs, and metal remains under it.

Quite inexpensive and at the same time modern curling irons. Ceramics have good heat-shielding properties, spares hair upon contact. But such a coating is unstable to shock loads, with the operation of the forceps you have to be careful.

The most unfortunate choice. The absence of a thermal protective coating negatively affects the condition of the hair in contact with the heating element. This automatic curling is not much different from the cheapest options without a rotating module. With frequent use, the hair dries up, looks messy, the ends are split.

Innovative coating based on natural semiprecious stone. Tourmaline has excellent thermal protection characteristics, used in the most expensive models. Such curling irons can be safely used on a daily basis.

• First you need to set the desired temperature. Activate it better in advance. When the indicator lamp lights up, curling can be done.
• Separate a thin strand of hair. A width of about 3 cm is enough. The wider the curl, the less abrupt the curl will be. Accordingly, you can get the most impressive effect if you do not rush and select thin strands.
• The future curl is placed inside the forceps - they are opened by pressing, moving up as close to the roots of the hair as possible. As soon as the clamps close, the process of forming curls will begin. In devices without a V-shaped element, the strand is placed in a special unit of the device, and the wave is activated by pressing a button.
• When the curling time is over, a beep will sound. After this, you need to carefully, without tension, remove the curl without touching it with your hands. Allow the strands to cool.

• Choosing a place to make a purchase. Do not look for such a product on Chinese sites. It is better to opt for an authorized dealer who guarantees the original origin of the product.
• Dimensions and weight of the product. Massive designs are not too convenient on trips and travels - they are focused on salon use. For home use, travel, styling on vacation more suitable options with an open design.
