What you need to know before wrapping curls on a curling iron
Hair should be washed and, if possible, absolutely dry. It is important to know that some styling products (varnish, styling gel, foam) can ignite when exposed to high temperatures. So do not stay long not only without curls, but also without hair in general. To avoid this, we use only one means of protection - a means for thermal styling. Do you think wet hair is better for curling? You are wrong. Wet strands are best wound on curlers, and not on the rod of an electrical appliance. In order not to burn curls with a curling iron, the hair should be absolutely dry during the procedure. The last secret applies to the appliance itself. Old-fashioned metal-curling irons distribute heat unevenly. Curls made look unnatural and fall apart. Choose curling irons with teflon or ceramic coating.

Temperature mode
Modern curling irons make it possible to set the desired degree of heating. What temperature regime to choose?
