Soviet curling irons, which heated up for a long time and irregularly twisted strands, threatening to burn skin or hair, are long gone. Today's models are lightweight, fast and enjoyable to use. Especially if it is not about simple household curling irons, but professional ones. They are intended for hairdressers and beauty salons, but this does not mean that they can not be used at home.
Differences Professional Ploek
Modern forceps are no longer made of metal, which burns and spoils hair. A more gentle curl is made by a professional hair curler. The ceramic surface is found today even in the simplest curling irons, but professional models can be coated:
- Teflon - does not burn hair.
- Titanium - lightens the weight of the device.
- Tourmaline - ionizes the surface of the hair, gives it shine.
Also, professional curling irons are often supplemented with a special ionizer that prevents the appearance of static electricity in the hair and provides easier combing. Also, many models have several degrees of heating with an indicator that indicates that the curling iron is ready for use.
In addition, professional models have great power and are able to warm up in just 30 seconds, and then hold the desired temperature long enough. In addition, professional hair curlers are equipped with a convenient soft twisting cord. This is necessary so that the master does not get confused in the wires, circling around the client, but with independent use this is a huge plus.
And, of course, today on the market there are a large number of a wide variety of tongs, from classic, to plates of various shapes and sizes. All of them are designed to create beautiful curls and work with different hair lengths.
Classic hair curlers
These are the usual cylindrical curling irons equipped with a clamp that holds the ends of the wound strand. They are available in different diameters, from 1 cm for tight small curls, up to 5 cm for a light wave. A diameter of about 2.5 cm will be optimal for beautiful styling. You can buy such a curling iron from Remington or the Italian brand GA MA, which heat up in just 10 seconds.
Harizma brand produces professional-style cylindrical curling irons for miniature hair, only 24 cm in length, but they are suitable for curling the entire mass of hair - ideal for traveling and traveling. Also, with this brand (and many others), you can find curling irons with an increased working surface - up to 15-18 cm - for curling long hair.
Professional conical hair curlers
This is a cone-shaped curling iron, tapering from the base to the tip. She creates a basal volume and a beautiful smooth curl. Its difference from a cylindrical curling iron is not only in the form of the resulting curl, but also in the absence of a clip, which inevitably leaves creases at the ends of the hair. You will have to hold the end of the lock with your fingers, and in order not to get burned, you can purchase a special thermo-glove. These often come complete with a professional cone-shaped curling iron.
Such curling irons come in different lengths and diameters. For example, Babyliss cone-shaped professional hair curlers come in different sizes and diameters, for example, small compact models with a length of only 18 cm, but with a cone of 16-26 mm, or standard curling irons with a cone of 19-32 mm.
Double and triple curling irons
These are professional hair curlers with two or three cylinders located parallel to each other. The principle of their work is different. Double curling irons suggest winding strands directly on both cylinders. Spin them in the form of a figure eight. This will create unusual zigzag curls. You can meet such a curling iron, for example, at the brand Dewal.
On the triple curling iron, the hair is not wound, but the strand is carefully placed between the working surfaces and the device is moved from the roots to the ends. A high degree of heating allows you to create beautiful waves due to the sliding of hair on all heated surfaces of the curling iron. Look for such a curling iron at Gamma, Dewal or Babyliss.
Automatic curling machines
These are professional hair curlers that independently wind the strand and curl it, you just need to bring the strand to the machine correctly so that it winds it in the right direction. By a sound signal, you need to open the compartment with a heating element in order to dissolve the already wound curl. Depending on the time, light or tight curls are obtained.
The most popular representative of such machines is the Babyliss brand, but its cost is very high - from 5 to 13-15 thousand rubles for professional models. There are simpler ones at the mass market (Philips, Rowenta).
By the way, the Babyliss brand also has an automatic machine that winds up harnesses for lovers of unusual hairstyles.
Other types of plates
All of the above types of plaques can often be found in domestic conditions. With a certain practice, with any of them you can independently make stylish styling of evening and everyday character. However, there are other types of pans on sale that are less likely to be bought for home use and they can often be found in the hands of a professional:
- Triangular or square - creates geometric broken curls that are suitable for evening or creative hairstyles.
- Curling iron for hair straightening - a professional curling iron, often called an iron, allows you to smooth curly hair.
- For deep waves - tongs with a large heating surface to create retro hairstyles and Hollywood waves.
Spiral curling irons - such are produced, for example, by the Italian brand Gamma, with a beautiful rainbow coating. The curling iron will create an unusual spiral curl.
- For basal volume - it does not curl curls, but only lifts the hair roots, which is suitable, for example, for very short haircuts that require volume.
The modern beauty industry does not stand still, all the time offering its consumers new devices and devices for creating beautiful hairstyles. The acquisition of such professional hair-wrapping tools will give you the pleasure of creating a hairstyle and predictably beautiful results.
