Electric curlers: varieties, tips for choosing

Elastic curls are the dream of most women of all ages. Curled hair transforms the female look, making it festive and bright. But few people are ready to spend precious time on creating such a hairstyle. The situation is saved by electric curlers, which are now actively produced by different companies. They are bought for both professional and home use. What they are, how to choose the right styling tool, will be discussed in the article.

Electric curlers are very similar in appearance to the usual, well-known to all hair curlers. The only difference is the presence of a special device that is used to heat them.

The heating process of the heat rollers is concentrated in their inner part, due to which there is no harm from the coils even for very dry hair with a thinned structure. The inner rollers, when heated, transfer the temperature of the outer surface of the curler. After reaching a certain temperature, you can start forming curls. They are held on the head until they cool completely.

Electric curlers are characterized by both positive and negative aspects, the study of which is important before purchasing and using a device.

Advantages:

• quick obtaining of the desired result (on average, 10 minutes are enough);
• long-term preservation of the result, subject to compliance with the technology and recommendations of specialists;
• safe impact, typical for some coatings (velor, velvet, ceramics);
• simple use;
• ionization.

The main division is based on coating materials. It is on this criterion that you need to pay attention in the first place.

Plastic is a classic option that has become widespread. When working with such curlers, you need some dexterity and manual dexterity. These skills will allow you to get the desired effect on the hair.

Ceramics is a more expensive coating. The main advantage is a mild effect on curls and minimal harm to them, even with frequent use. With good heating, the hair is not injured, curls well and keeps in the form of curls for a long time.

Ceramic-coated plastic curlers are a worthy alternative. They are more affordable, and the effect on the hair and the result is no worse than in the case of all-ceramic devices.

The velor finish has a velvety surface. Cylindrical accessories are equipped with small holes, which ensure quick drying of the strands.

It is velor that is considered the safest and most gentle for hair. In such accessories there are no clips that could leave creases on the strands.

Teflon electric curlers are held in high esteem by professional craftsmen and ordinary amateurs. With a quick effect, the hair does not experience high loads, therefore such accessories are recommended even for owners of dry, depleted and brittle curls.

Electric curlers differ not only in the coating material, but also in the configuration, size and shape. These characteristics should also be considered when choosing a tool for creating curls. The package contents can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. But the general points remain the same:

• rollers;
• heating case;
• clips for fixing curlers;
• small sets consist of about 8 rollers, while large sets have about 20.
