Characteristic
Thin hair curler is an electric device, characterized by the diameter of the tongs, which can be from 9 mm to 25 mm. The value of curls, as well as the duration of the effect, depends on this parameter.
Using modern thin curling irons for curls, you can make small curls, corrugation or a spiral. It all depends on what type of device to use, and they are of the following types:
- classic
- in the form of a cone;
- in the form of a triangle;
- triple;
- with two working surfaces;
- with spiral nozzle, etc.
Since the laying strength and the health of the hair depend on the coating material of the tongs, each manufacturer tries to use high-quality raw materials. So, coating a thin curling iron happens:
- ceramic - it is completely safe, does not harm and does not violate the structure;
- teflon - sparing for hair, but quickly erased, and if the Teflon coating is worn out, it is no longer recommended to use such a curling iron (the thing is that under the coating there is ordinary metal that burns curls);
- tourmaline - This is one of the best coatings that has been developed recently, durable and safe, but it is worth noting that the device with it costs much more than the two previous ones.
