How to choose a curler for hair

The main weapon in the arsenal of every girl is a curling iron, which is capable of turning unruly straight strands into a beautiful lush mane. A huge selection of ploek will allow every day to be irresistible and create a new image. However, it is worth a closer look at some of the characteristics that affect the creation of hairstyles.

Choose the right surface

The surface of the curling iron is one of the most important factors that should be considered when choosing. It depends on the quality of the created curls and the further appearance of the hair.

Metallic surface. Curling iron with a work area made of metal, has long been familiar to many Soviet women. Some models are found now, and their comparative cheapness distinguishes them. Since the curling iron works on the principle of heating and drying the hair, it is very important not to overdo the curl at the time of winding. Uneven heating of the surface leads to damage to the hair structure.
Teflon coating. It is an excellent alternative to the previous version, since such a curling iron heats up more evenly. Even when applied to the hair fixation, curl curls will not be difficult, since nothing sticks to the surface. Significant disadvantages include all also Teflon coating, which over time erases and exposes the metal, which is unsafe to use.
Ceramic coating. Modern material, which has found wide application in many areas, has several advantages. Such curling irons provide uniform heating and, due to the flat surface, create stable curls. Gentle effect on the hair structure is provided by additional features built into some models. Choosing a curling iron from such a material, find out whether it is all made of it or only has a coating. In the event that only the coating, then after some damage may appear that hi to the unsuitability of the device.
Tourmaline coating is the latest development, which has established itself on the positive side. Significantly more expensive than the previous analogue, curling iron with this coating not only safely affects the structure of the hair, but also removes static electricity, allowing you to do without additional anti-static. After laying, the scales on the hair fit tightly to each other, which allows you to retain moisture.
Titanium coating according to its characteristics is similar to tourmaline. When heated, negatively charged ions are produced, allowing the hair to warm up evenly without electrifying it. A similar variant of ploek is used for any type of hair, because even on very weak and thin curls the coating acts very carefully. It should be noted the special strength and resistance of the titanium coating to damage.

Additional features

Among the most important characteristics is the presence of a thermostat. With it, the curling iron will perfectly cope with curling hair of any type. Exposing the required temperature, you can wind both thin curls and thick and hard. During styling, it is important not to overdo the hair, so that after they do not begin to break.

Modern models allow you to set the temperature from 60 to 200 degrees. The maximum possible temperature is applied to obtain a stable curl only on hard and thick hair. Depending on the coverage of the work area, you can experiment with temperature without harming your hair. For thin and weak hair it is best to install 150 degrees.

Existence of additional nozzles on the curling will be a significant advantage to the acquisition, as in this case you can change hairstyles depending on your mood. You will appreciate the opportunity to experiment with corrugation, spirals and aligners in full. However, professionals warn that the constant change of nozzles may shorten the life of the curling.

Diameter curling

It is impossible to ignore this parameter, since it is on him that the beauty of your hair depends. Curling irons are made with different diameters that are adapted to different hair lengths. This does not mean that you will not be able to twist long hair to a small diameter, but it is unlikely that you will be able to cope with short hair with a broad curling. On the hair of any type and length, the curls will be beautifully twisted and have a well-groomed look. The optimum diameter is 19-25 mm.
