Every woman loves to change her image depending on her mood. Today she has wavy curls, and tomorrow perfectly straight strands. And to do this is quite simple, using hair tongs and, depending on the situation, using different attachments. It should be noted that there is no longer a significant difference between tongs, curling iron and iron, since they all perform almost the same functions when changing attachments. Types and types of hair curlers
All stylers are divided into two types: capable of curling or straightening hair. And the degree of their versatility depends on the complement of the attachments. The versatile curling iron allows you to perform a number of useful functions, after which your hairstyle becomes extraordinary. The ability to wind, straighten, make curls of various sizes and the like becomes possible when choosing a universal device.
Accordingly, specialized forceps can only perform one function. They are significantly inferior in price to universal ones. Ideal for those who are not used to bothering about their appearance and prefer one type of hairstyle.
Tips for choosing
In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a device, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:
-
Power. The best option is a power controlled styler, since you can adjust the styling level yourself. Devices up to 0.1 kW are used at home to create simple curls or alignment. Those devices where the power reaches 1.5 kW are used to create professional styling.
-
Control. If you are going to seriously deal with your hairstyle, then you should pay special attention to the control panel on professional stylers. With its help you can set the required temperature, enable additional functions, etc. Simple options are equipped with only an 'on / off' button.
-
Coating. This factor should be given special attention, since the integrity of the structure of your hair depends on the coverage. Metal plates do not heat up evenly, which leads to overdrying of some areas of the curl. The most popular among consumers and less traumatic for hair is a ceramic coating with tourmaline and keratin impregnation, which makes hair smooth and shiny.
-
Plates. Pay attention to the width of the work surface. For thin and short hair, it is best to choose narrow plates with a width of up to 2.5 cm, and for thick and long hair, a width of more than 3 cm is suitable.
-
Nutrition. There are AC and battery operated models. But it is better to choose tongs powered from the mains, since in this case the power will be much higher.
-
Nozzles. Think carefully about what attachments you should have in your arsenal. There are many options that can come in handy – corrugations, spirals, rings, straighteners, volumizing brushes, etc.
Special abilities
Modern curling tongs are equipped with additional functions to help make hair not only beautiful, but also healthy. Some of them are listed below:
-
Blowing cold air allows you to strengthen the hair structure and keep the hairstyle intact for a long time.
-
The ionization function relieves the electrification of the hair, so you do not need to use additional antistatic sprays.
-
The ability to set different temperature settings is very useful, so you can adjust the amount of heat and not burn your hair.
Finally
When choosing tongs, first of all, focus on the surface of the working area, because the further beauty of your hair depends on it. An equally important factor is the presence of a temperature regime that allows you to keep the structure intact. The number of attachments that will be included in the kit depends entirely on your preferences and desires to create new images.
Look for brands that have proven themselves on the positive side. Such monsters as Philips, Braun, Bosch guarantee you the durability of the device, because their products are tested and have quality certificates.
