Beautiful and long curls are the dream of any girl or woman. In addition, this hairstyle always remains in fashion. But in order to make yourself stylish curls, it is not necessary to go to the salon or use ordinary curlers for this. It is enough to purchase special devices to create a stylish hairstyle.
Features
With the help of such devices, you can even make very even hair wavy or turn them into huge curls. Hair curlers appeared more than 100 years ago, but to this day remain popular. The only thing that distinguishes them from their predecessors is modernization.
It is worth considering some of their features.
- Modern devices are almost harmless to hair, because most of them have tourmaline or ceramic coating. In addition, if the device has an additional function of ionization, you can even achieve shine on the hair.
- They are easy to use, because with their help you can even turn the thinnest and dullest hair into beautiful locks.
- They are available to any person. They can be bought at any store where household appliances are available. And also a girl can choose a more sophisticated or, conversely, a simple device.
- Almost every one of them comes with 3-4 nozzles. With their help, you can create different images, constantly experimenting with your own style.
In addition, each appliance is endowed with some technical characteristics, which include the following parameters.
- Temperature condition. From this indicator will largely depend on how long the hairstyle lasts. It is especially good if such a device has a thermostat. With its help it is possible to set the temperature necessary for use.
- The power of the device. This parameter is especially necessary to pay attention to when buying. If it is needed for home use, it will be enough power up to 50 watts, and for professionals it is better to buy with power up to 90 watts.
- The number of nozzles. It is best to purchase a device with one nozzle, which is also non-removable. In this case, she will be able to serve much longer. However, you should not refuse from those who have several nozzles in the kit at once. Indeed, in this case, you can create different types of curls. However, there is also a minus - often there are breakdowns of the mechanism that fixes them.
- The diameter of the appliance itself. The size of future strands depends on it.
- Material used. Its working surface is also very important when buying, because the health of the hair largely depends on its quality.
Varieties
There are many types of pads to create curls. Especially popular among them are automatic devices. But not every model is suitable for use at home - some of them are intended only for special use.
Classic
The most popular among them are cylindrical tongs, preferably with a clamp. This tool is lightweight and easy to use, suitable for straightening hair, and for winding. The tongs differ in diameter, which can reach up to 2.5 centimeters.
If you want to have curls larger and softer, then the shaft should be a little thicker.
Conical
Equally popular devices in which the rod is conical in shape, that is, tapers from the base to the top. They do not have a clamp, and when wrapping curls, you can use only a special heat-protective glove. With this curling iron you can make curls of different thicknesses, and they will turn out more natural than using a classic curling iron.
The disadvantage is that using the glove is not very convenient and you will need to get a little used to it.
Corrugation Curling Iron
Such a device has a corrugated surface, which allows you to create very small curls. Most often, it includes several nozzles of different sizes.
However, if the hair is too brittle, then it is better to abandon the use of such a curling iron. And also in any case, it is better that it has a quality coating.
Some of these plates, which have a slight corrugation, are designed to create a basal volume.
Double and triple
These devices consist of two parallel-going rods, the shape of which resembles a cylinder. As a result of their application, waves in the form of zigzags are obtained. They are very comfortable doing retro-styling, getting beautiful and even strands that can last from morning to evening.
However, they are not at all suitable for short hair.
Spiral
Most often, the curling iron, which is called a spiral, is used for styling long or medium hair. With their help, you can create beautiful and even curls. The size of the strands will depend on the diameter of the rod. As a result, you should get curls, like with a perm. In addition, they can hold out for a relatively long time.
Car layers
Automatic curling irons have appeared recently in stores. They consist of a rotating surface, that is, the clamp can rotate in two directions. Therefore, the selected lock may be ironed and twisted. The surface of such devices is made of either ceramic or tourmaline material. These materials are considered more gentle, and therefore do not injure hair. Curls are more elastic and strong, as if made in a fashionable salon.
In the next video you will find an overview of the automatic curling iron from the Rowenta CF3610.
