Like any device, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is worth paying attention to the main advantages of laying with an iron.

• Multifunctionality. The styler is designed to get even hairstyles with perfect smoothness and natural shine. He is able to straighten even very naughty locks. In addition, curls of curls and the laying of waves of various shapes and sizes are possible with it.

Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of stylers in different price categories. Devices are classified according to several factors.

The material that covers the inner surface of the forceps is of great importance. The health of the strands depends on it. Depending on this, several types of stylers are distinguished.

• Metal. It is believed that metal is the least suitable material, since when heated, it spoils the hair structure more strongly. However, such devices are in demand, as they are the cheapest.
• Ceramic. At a cost they are more expensive than the previous ones, but much safer. Ceramics heats more evenly and lasts longer.

Ceramic plates are often coated with an additional layer of another material that improves the properties of the device. These include species such as:

• teflon - unfortunately, this material has the property of quickly erasing, so the life of the apparatus is short;
• tourmaline increases the slip coefficient, ionizes the hair, protecting them from electrostatics;
• marble has a mild effect due to the balanced processes of heating and cooling;
• titanium also noted by professionals for the uniformity of temperature; Unfortunately, titanium plates are subject to abrasion and are easily deformed;
• jade - This is the only material that allows curling wet hair;
• silver - the inner surface of the device is covered with silver ions, which not only heals curls, but also increases the efficiency of the result.

Depending on the purpose and functions performed, the devices differ for professional and domestic. The first are characterized by greater power and have floating plates, while the second option is equipped, as a rule, with rigidly fixed surfaces. And you should also point to the different widths of the rectifiers. If you need to get curls with their help, then for such a procedure, irons like carrots, conical shapes are suitable.

Each half is divided into separate strands and begin to curl them not from the very roots, but slightly lower. Wrap should be away from the face. After holding for no more than 15 seconds, the styler is pulled out of the curl in a downward direction.

• Beach waves. From strict classical such curls differ in a slightly sloppy shape. To reproduce them, washed and dried hair is divided into separate strands, each of which is twisted into a bundle, and then passed over several times with a styler. The finer the flagellum, the finer the curl. Once the hairstyle cools down, the strands are gently untwisted and whipped with hands moistened with foam or mousse for fixation.

• Small curls. The young face in a frame of curls looks cute and gentle. To get them, just braid a few small braids all over the head. Walk through each ironing and dissolve after cooling. It is better to lay it manually using fixing agents.
