Spiral curlers can be made from hard and soft material. In turn, both of these types of papillotes for curls can have different lengths and sizes, which allows you to choose the best option according to the nature of the hair.

The soft type of spiral curlers is made of a material that resembles fabric in structure. The set usually contains a plastic hook, assembled from several elements. The soft attachments are composed of high quality material, which cannot be said about the hook. The design and compositional features of the papillotes of this type contribute to their strong fixation on the hair without the use of additional elements.

When choosing spiral devices, the following points should be taken into account.

• Hair length. This is one of the most important factors when choosing a curler. If the strands reach the shoulders, then bobbins with a length of 15-20 centimeters will be quite enough. If a woman's hair grows to the waist, then bobbins should be bought 50-60 centimeters in size.
• The volume of curls. If you want to do your hair with small curls, then you can buy hair curlers with a diameter of 2 centimeters. If large curls are planned, then it is better to purchase 5-centimeter products.
• Thickness of hair. Depending on the density of the strands, you can use a small set of curlers - 18 pieces or a large one - 48.
