Thin curling irons: types and characteristics

Important elements of the image of every girl are not only clothes, makeup, but also her hair. Beautifully styled hair is already half the success, which is why a lot of time is spent on styling. But in order for the hairstyle to look beautiful and stylish, it is not necessary to run to the salon for the help of a professional. Today, thanks to a large assortment of small household appliances such as a curling iron, even naughty hair can be turned into perfect curls on your own.

There are many manufacturers and even more models of hair curlers, each of which differs in parameters and end result.

A thin hair curler is an electric device with a curling diameter that can be from 9 mm to 25 mm. The size of the curls, as well as the duration of the effect, depends on this parameter.

Using modern thin curling irons, you can make small curls, corrugation or a spiral. It all depends on what type of device to use, and they are of the following types:

• classic;
• in the form of a cone;
• in the form of a triangle;
• triple;
• with two work surfaces;
• with a spiral nozzle, etc.

Since the strength of the styling and the health of the hair depend on the coating material of the tongs, each manufacturer tries to use high-quality raw materials. So, the coating of a thin curling iron is:

• ceramic - it is completely safe, does not harm or violate the structure;
• Teflon - gentle on the hair, but it is quickly erased, and if the teflon coating is worn out, it is no longer recommended to use such a curling iron (the thing is that under the coating there is ordinary metal that burns the curls);
• tourmaline - this is one of the best coatings that has been developed recently, durable and safe, but it is worth noting that the device with it costs much more than the two previous ones.

Today, there are many companies that are engaged in the production of curling and styling curlers. Of course, some brands are well-known to everyone, since their products have been on the market for a long time, and little is known about others.
