For winding curls, conical curling irons are perfect. They have an elongated elongated cone shape, which tapers towards the end. Such forceps are used only to make curls.
The main thing is that there should be no gaps between the plates on this instrument. They should fit snugly together. An excellent option would be an ionization device. This will remove static electricity.

Protective agents are divided into 2 groups: washable and non-washable. The first includes various special conditioners, shampoos. The second group consists of sprays, balms, serums and oils. Sometimes such products are used to straighten hair or to better fix it.
