With the help of products, you can get both small curls and beautiful large curls.
The box in which the heating takes place is connected to the network and after 5 minutes the curlers become hot.

BaByliss heated hair rollers have a long service life, they are reliable and durable. The box is made of impact-resistant plastic.
The company offers sets with the same diameter of curlers or with several different ones.
The velvet coating protects the hair structure from excessive heat. The strands do not dry out and do not get burned, as is the case with curling with a curling iron or tongs. Ceramic and titanium coated electric curlers have a gentle effect on the strands, while maintaining the temperature for a long time. Typically, items remain hot for half an hour after heating. Each device comes with two types of convenient clips that securely fix the curls and do not leave creases. You can choose a clothespin or a hairpin for attaching the curlers.
Each box is equipped with a red heating indicator that will indicate that the unit is ready for use. You don't need to keep the BaByliss heated rollers on your head all night. They will allow you to quickly get the desired result that will last all day. The cost of the models varies from 2,500 to 5,000 rubles, which is quite a bit for high-quality devices.
Of the minuses of the brand's equipment, it is worth highlighting the high price, in comparison with analogues of other brands. Another disadvantage for owners of very long and thick strands may be the fact that they do not create elastic curls like those obtained with a curling iron.

How to choose?
It is recommended that you pay attention to the following factors before purchasing an electric curler.
Power
This indicator speaks not only of the consumed energy, but also of the heating time of the products. The higher it is, the less time you will need to wait until the electric curlers are ready. The power of inexpensive devices is about 50 watts, professional units have an indicator of 500 watts.
Roller diameter
The size of the resulting curls depends on the size of the roller. If you want large curls or beautiful waves, use a large diameter. For elastic curls, the medium size is perfect. If you want small curls, small curlers are the best choice.
When choosing this parameter, it is necessary to take into account the length of the curls. Girls with short strands are advised to take medium-diameter heat rollers, since small ones will not give the desired effect, and large ones will not stay on the hair.
Owners of medium curls can take any diameter of the roller, depending on the desired result. Individuals with long hair should focus on the large size.
Outer surface material
The best material for electric curlers is ceramics or Teflon, since they do not have such a strong effect on the structure of the curls. If you are going to do curls every day, this coverage is for you. The velor layer will protect the hair from contact with the hot surface, but it should be borne in mind that the strands hold worse on such curlers. Plastic is also a good option. Beware of metal devices, as they do the most damage to the hair structure.
Fixation method
As a rule, 2 types of clamps come with the heat rollers at once: a hairpin and a hairpin with teeth. More popular and reliable are crab hairpins with teeth, they hold the hair better, but for some it is more convenient to fasten the curls with a hairpin.
How to use?
Hairdressers give some tips for using electric curlers, which will allow you to get beautiful curls without harm to the structure:
- owners of thin hair are recommended to keep the product on the head of hair for a maximum of 15-20 minutes, having previously applied thermal protection to the strands;
- thick and hard curls are better to heat up as much as possible and keep the curlers on the head for at least half an hour;
- damaged strands should not be curled more than 2 times a week;
- before using hot curling devices, styling products should not be used; it is better to fix the styling after readiness.
Curling curlers should be done only on clean and dry strands.
- First, comb your hair and connect the box with the BaByliss heated hair rollers to the mains. Prepare clamps. As soon as the indicator turns white, you can flip off the lid and start using.
- Gently take out the product and wind a curl on it, fix it with a hairpin or crab. Do the same with all the hair.
- After half an hour, you can carefully remove the cooled electric curlers and lightly comb the curls, then sprinkle with varnish.
