To be immediately more beautiful you need a good styling , better if made unique by light waves , defined curls or soft curls that give a more delicate air to the face.
To do this it is necessary to rely on a good curling iron , but how do you choose the one that best suits our hair and our needs ?
Let's see what are the main types of hair irons. The choice between one or the other depends on the type of curls or waves you want to create.
Spiral curling iron : it has a spiral shape along which the lock is placed, the spiral acts as a guide and facilitates use. It is used to create neat ringlets.
Curling iron with balls or spheres : facilitates the winding of the locks. It is used to create neat curls because each turn of the lock has the same distance.
Three or triple curling iron : it is equipped with three tubes along which to wrap the hair to get a wavy look (there is also a five version). It is used to create waves on the hair.
Cylindrical curling iron : the straightener has a cylinder shape. It is used to make wide curls and wavy hair.
Cone / conical curling iron : allows you to create curls with a wider diameter at the top and narrower at the bottom.
Narrow-tip curling iron : has the same characteristics as the conical one but has a smaller diameter, so the curls are tighter.
Large diameter curling iron : used to make large curls or wavy hair.
Small diameter curling iron : used to create very tight curls, afro style. It is perfect for those with short hair.
Automatic curling iron : it is very easy to use: there is no need to wrap the lock because the iron automatically sucks the hair, wraps it and then releases the ring. It allows you to create medium sized curls and can only be used on long or medium hair (not on short hair).
Let's see what are the fundamental aspects to take into consideration and verify before proceeding with the choice and purchase.
First of all it is very important to test the handle of the products on the market: a handle that is too large, angular or smooth would not allow us to grab the iron well, hindering us in creating the perfect curl . So green light for devices with an ergonomic and non-slip handle, to handle the iron in complete safety and create perfect curls in a few minutes.
Afterwards, it is essential to aim for curling irons equipped with ceramic plates. The ceramic plates do not attack the hair, heating up less and more uniformly than the classic ones, ensuring an optimal result that does not damage the structure of our hair.
The "power" of our curling iron is also very important in choosing the perfect one for our hair styling . On the market there are many hair curling appliances with bargain prices: these irons generally heat up at a fixed temperature, thus increasing the risk of damaging our hair.
For this it is good to invest a little more in the purchase of curling irons with adjustable temperature . A good iron should be able to be adjusted between 160 and 230 degrees depending on the type of hair.
How to choose the temperature? If your hair is fine and brittle, the lower temperature will be the most suitable (e.g. 160 degrees), on the contrary, if your hair is very thick and full-bodied you can raise the temperature (e.g. up to 200/230 degrees) to being able to obtain the result that best suits your styling needs.
The heat regulation is also an excellent ally in case you want to make some minor adjustments on the fly: to touch up a few strands is not necessary to heat the iron to maximum power, but just keep it to a minimum simply heat to give a refreshed the look .
Another key point in choosing the perfect curling iron for us is also the diameter of the appliance . The smaller diameter curling irons allow you to create tight and many dense curls , on the contrary, those with a larger diameter draw wide and soft waves .
Here are three smart tricks to create dream curls safely.
Always remember that before proceeding with the creation of the curls with the hair curling iron it is necessary that the hair is completely dry , to avoid that these are literally "burned" in contact with the heat of the plates.
2. Furthermore, it is very important to protect the hair with a special protective spray for straighteners and iron , preferably with flax seeds, capable of forming a "patina" on the hair that shields it from heat while maintaining its elastic structure.
3. Finally, be careful not to burn yourself ! Did you know that there are special gloves that allow you to handle your hair carefully in the vicinity of the curling appliances? Curling the hair well to the ends will no longer be a problem in this way! Several irons already contain the gloves in the package.
On the market there are many brands of hair curlers with good value for money and also professional curlers that hairdressers use (some brands are: Gama, Remington, Rowenta, Ghd, Imetec, Babyliss, etc.).
