Curling iron of old samples long ago sunk into oblivion. They were replaced by modern electrical appliances that do not spoil the hair structure and have more features. To date, the most different brands produce the following varieties of forceps:

• classic, they are also called standard;
• with 2 work surfaces (for example, for corrugation);
• triple, to get the most interesting curl;
• spiral options.

Depending on the type of forceps, they can have different diameters. It should be selected based on the condition of the hair and its length. Before choosing, we recommend that you pay attention to the following characteristics.

• Diameter of forceps. As a rule, it can be 10-30 mm depending on the model.
• Power and temperature. Most often, the forceps are heated from 40 to 60 degrees, there are options and more powerful, but less often.
• Coating. Today it is especially important to pay attention to it. Nobody uses iron and metal coatings, because they were replaced by safer ones - ceramic, titanium and tourmaline with all kinds of additional coatings like keratin or silk film.
• Warm-up time also matters.. It is especially important for those who are constantly in a hurry and late somewhere, performing styling early in the morning.
• Cord. It can be of different lengths. The longest options are most often acquired by professional masters for salons, for home use, tongs models with an average cord length are quite suitable.

In the modern world, the rectifier (or iron) occupies a special place on the shelf among residents of megacities. If not every lady has it, then every second for sure. The straightener allows you to get the most even, shiny and smooth curls in just a few minutes. Rectifiers are of the following varieties.

• Metal. Metal rectifiers are considered the most profitable, but not the safest. They belong to a very budget category of this kind of technical equipment. Moreover, when using additional styling products for styling, such as foam or varnish, metal plates will stick to the hair, which is also a big minus, since such adhesion is fraught with negative consequences for the hair.
• Ceramic. They are considered one of the most sought after and safest. They do not damage the hair structure, even with prolonged and regular use. And if such rectifiers also have an additional diamond coating, then they can generally restore the hair and the cut ends.
• Titanium. Such straighteners are also safe for hair. They quickly heat up and also straighten curls quickly. Titanium plates are good in that heat is distributed as evenly as possible on them, which gently straightens hair. The disadvantage of such a coating is that scratches can form on it over time.
• Teflon. Such straighteners are considered one of the most practical and wear-resistant, their plates are very smooth, which ensures perfect gliding through the hair from roots to ends.
• Combined Options. Such options include irons with a combination of several coatings, as well as, for example, antibacterial ones with a special layer of nanosilver.

• If you need a straightener that will quickly heat up and not injure your hair, then it is best to look at the professional series of irons.
• Options with metal plates are not recommended. Despite the fact that they cost several times cheaper than ceramic ones, such devices spoil hair very much, after which they become weakened and cut. However, for single use, they can be used.
• For short hair, small irons with narrow plates are quite suitable, but for long hair, on the contrary, it is best to choose wide plates.
• Lovers of corrugation can pay attention to a set with an iron and additional nozzles. They are very practical and convenient to use on their own.
