Let's look at what characteristics you need to pay attention to in order to choose a suitable curling iron for you.

The principle of operation of a spiral curling iron is no different from the usual. The strand is wound on a heat generating element and as a result takes on the desired shape. There is only one important feature - the structure of the rod. Along its entire length, grooves are located in which a strand must be placed.

Many curling irons have many useful options. From their number, the value of the device changes. The more features a curling iron has, the more expensive it will cost you. Only this does not mean that it is necessary to make a choice in favor of the most expensive products.

For home use, mid-range models from time-tested brands will fit. When choosing a device, pay attention to these characteristics.

• Type of spraying. Ordinary steel curlers dry hair very much and spoil it. Buy modifications that have ceramic, titanium or tourmaline coating. They warm up measuredly, do not destroy the structure of the hair, remove static stress from them and do not allow electrification.
• Rod length and configuration. The smaller its diameter and the closer the location of the grooves on it, the more small the curls come out. If you want to form large waves, choose modifications with a diameter of 25-40 millimeters. For hairstyles with hair below the shoulders, buy devices with a long heat-generating device.
• Temperature correction. An extremely important issue, especially for curling thin strands. As a rule, curling irons are heated from 50 ° C to 200 ° C. If your hairline is weak and dry, set the temperature to 100-120 ° C, and for styling hard and thick hair requires 170-180 ° C.
• Electric wire. Curling is greatly facilitated by a rather long cable. It is necessary that it be at least 1.5-2 m, this will provide the ability to manipulate the device at a distance from the electrical outlet. In addition, pay attention to its fastening. The hinge will provide free rotation around the axis, which eliminates twisting.
• Sleep timer. The right thing for someone who wants to independently determine the installation time. A special signal will let you know that it’s time to remove the curl from the curling iron. In addition, auto power off after 60 minutes, when you forgot to disconnect the device.
• Equipment. Together with the curling iron, additional nozzles can go to form various hairstyles. In addition, manufacturers often supply heat-resistant mats and gloves with appliances that increase safety during installation.
