What to look for when choosing hair curlers?

Each model of forceps has its own differences, positive and negative sides. The kit is equipped with different nozzles, the devices differ in different power levels, heating temperature, coating material. Which tongs are right for you? To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the varieties of flats, which we will do now.

Hair curling tongs differ in such important parameters:

• The size. For long hair, curling irons or nozzles with a large diameter are suitable, creating voluminous and large curls.
• Plated. Now, tongs with a metal heating element, which dried out very much and burned hair, are not in demand at all. Now the work area is covered with a dense layer of protection that does not spoil curls and even improves their appearance thanks to the heat distribution function. Titanium, ceramic and tourmaline coating favorably affects hair.

Important! When choosing a curling iron, pay attention to the fact that the Teflon coating can wear off over time.

• The ability to change the degree and speed of heating. The temperature regimes range from 120-200 °, in modern curling irons they can be from 2 to 6.

Important! Thin and brittle hair, forceps heated to 200 °, just burn, and for thick curls this temperature is usually not enough.

• Power, which is determined by the density of your hair. The higher the setting, the less time you spend on curling your hair. The ideal power indicator is 30-60 watts.
• Nozzle shape. There are double, triple, cone-shaped, cylindrical, spiral, corrugated, triangular and multifunctional. The final result of your curls depends on this - large, medium, African, spiral, boucle or in the form of small springs.

Important! In addition to nozzles for creating curls, the set may also include nozzles for hair straightening, performing the function of ironing.

• The presence of an indicator and a display on the device. This helps to control the level of heating and is quite convenient at home.
• Protection against overheating and the possibility of skin damage, automatic shutdown, a set of various brushes, nozzles, gloves for protection, the presence of a loop for hanging or a convenient stand, a sound signal, a cover, an ionization function, button lock, clips, the shape and ergonomics of the handle, length and rotation cord at the base of the curling iron and color - all this provides additional comfort and safety.
