Advanced GA technology. MA provides brand products with important benefits.

• Titanium and ceramic heaters, which, unlike cheaper metal heaters, uniformly heat the surfaces of rectifiers. The proprietary Quick Heat and IHT technologies provide the fastest possible heating to operating temperatures, which helps to maintain the integrity of the hair, avoiding its drying out from prolonged heat exposure.
• Tourmaline spraying on the heating elements, which ionizes the hair, having a beneficial effect on it and preventing both excessive fluffing and sticking of strands.
• Floating plates that adapt to the thickness of the processed strand.
• Soft Touch technology, providing the easiest glide of the working surfaces of the tool.
• Most models have the ability to accurately adjust the temperature of the heating elements, the LCD display is for monitoring, and for some samples there is even a function for storing the selected temperature.
• Special hinged fastening of the power cord, providing the most convenient and safe holding of the tool in the hand. Cord length up to 3 meters, which ensures ease of connection.

When heat treatment of hair, the most important is the choice of temperature regime, which will achieve the desired result without risk to them. Thinner hair requires less temperature for processing, thick and wavy - more. GA specialists. MA Professional, based on its many years of experience, have developed recommendations for temperature selection, which can be seen below:

• thin, weak hair - 140 ° C;
• normal hair - 180 ° C;
• wavy hair - 200 ° C;
• thick, curly hair - 230 ° C.

In addition to temperature factors, the condition of the hair is undoubtedly affected by mechanical influences during their heat treatment. The floating fastenings of heating plates, implemented in most models of the brand, will help here, which adapt to the processed strand and reduce the load on the hair, Soft Touch technology, which ensures the easiest glide of the working surfaces of the tool.

By minimizing the negative temperature and mechanical effects on the hair, is it possible to somehow take care of its condition? Yes, it’s possible, the brand’s products provide the following technologies: tourmaline coating of heating plates, which releases ions (negatively charged particles) directly in the contact area of ​​working surfaces and hair. Ion Plus technology, which further enhances the release of ions that have an antistatic effect, activates the scalp and cuticle of the hair, beneficially affecting it.

Properly used straighteners will help the generally accepted recommendations:

• Before starting styling, set the required temperature regime corresponding to the type of hair;
• start laying or straightening after the plates have completely warmed up;
• pick up the main mass of hair with a hairpin;
• from the head of hair, alternately separate the small locks and process them with an iron;
• grab a lock at a certain distance from the scalp;
• when straightening, do not hold the tongs for a long time in one place - the hair is dried out, and it can form in the room;
• iron evenly and not too fast.
