Once the great Coco Chanel said that "washed hair is already a hairstyle." But modern women are unlikely to agree with this statement, faced with the fact that after washing, the curls do not acquire a completely aesthetic appearance, and therefore it is necessary to resort to their styling. One of the devices that every woman probably has is a hair curler. With it, you can easily make curls, create a casual or festive hairstyle. So that the device does not disappoint you during its operation, you need to know how to choose it correctly.
- So, first of all, pay attention to the coating of the work surface. The most popular material is metal, but it has several disadvantages. Firstly, the risk of burning hair is too great. Secondly, the working surface heats up unevenly. That is why it is best to give preference to such a material as ceramics, which heats well and does not injure curls. More expensive, professional curling irons can have a ceramic coating, as well as Teflon or thermoline.
- Temperature control is also an important selection criterion. Thanks to her, you can set a temperature that is most suitable for your type of hair and does not harm them. The more modes, the better.
- The hair curler, which will become your reliable assistant in the styling process, should also be selected according to the principle of the diameter of the working surface. A small diameter (19 mm) will help to make small curls, a medium one (25 mm) is already more voluminous, and a large one (31 mm) is quite large. Choose the thickness of the working surface depending on the length of your hair, as well as on the desired result.
- You should also pay attention to the power of the device. Most models have 20-50 watts, which is enough to create a daily hairstyle. A professional hair curler can have slightly higher power indicators, therefore, it will heat up faster.
- Be sure to hold it in your hands at the time of purchase. Think about whether it will be convenient for you to use this model. In addition, look at the cord: it should be long and be sure to rotate 180 0 so that you do not have to unravel it during operation. Also, in this model, there should be a foot stand that will not allow heating to the place where you will put the device.
