Galaxy stylers: how to choose and use?
Galaxy is only 10 years in the home appliance market, but has already gained popularity among women who care about their appearance. Stylers from this brand are distinguished by a wide range of models, constant expansion of the assortment, beautiful design and high-quality components. The cherry on top is the attractive price.
Review of the best models
Galaxy stylers are divided into several types:
- classic stylers (to create waves and curls in manual mode);
- automatic curling iron-stylers (create picture curls thanks to the automatic winding of hair on rollers);
- styler combs (combines a hair straightener and a regular massage brush to improve blood flow).
A curl styler and a 3-in-1 multi-styler can be singled out separately.
Styler Galaxy GL4602 - the most popular model for creating voluminous hairstyles. It has a power of 40 W, which allows it to quickly heat up to 200 degrees. There is a power indicator on the body, but there is no ready-to-work indicator. This means that you can find out that the device is connected to the network, but it is impossible to understand whether or not it has heated up to the maximum temperature.
The advantage of this model is the presence of a long cord with a rotating head, which makes it easier to use the device. The disadvantage is the heating of the case during operation.
Galaxy GL4606 called a triple styler. The manufacturer claims 10 modes of its operation, which in fact are only 10 temperature modes. However, this is a great advantage of this model over others, since it makes it possible to use the device for hair of different structure and density. The power of the device is 70 W, the number of heating elements is 3.
Galaxy GL4618 allows you to automatically create beautiful curls, the direction of rotation of the hair is set with the press of a button. Choosing a direction is a very useful function, because women's hair naturally curls in different directions. The power of the device is 50 W, the maximum temperature heating is 210 degrees. The weight is only 400 grams, which allows the device to work for a long time.
Galaxy GL4631 positioned as a comb-iron, but in fact it straightens the hair by combing it at a high temperature. That is, the hair is not pinched in the iron, but only touches it on one side. The model is equipped with an LCD display, which displays the temperature regime (maximum you can heat the iron up to 230 degrees). The device operates in three ranges: 170-190 degrees (preferred for fine hair), 190-210 degrees (for medium hair) and 210-230 degrees (for hair with a stiff structure).
We should also dwell on the styler Galaxy GL4624, which is necessary for automatic braiding. In fact, the device does not weave classic braids, but makes neat bundles of hair. A feature of the device is its mobility, it runs on AA batteries (2 pieces) and has two braiding clamps.
Advantages and disadvantages
The most competitive advantage of the Galaxy hair styler is its low cost. All models can be purchased within 1000 rubles, however, they will be equipped with a ceramic coating to give hair shine and remove static electricity, a 360-degree rotating cord. Some models will have a temperature indicator.
The disadvantages of users include the heating of the case during operation, some smell during the hair styling process, and a kind of lottery - you never know when the device will fail.
How to choose?
Despite the fact that there are multifunctional stylers in the range of hair styling devices, it is better to stop at some kind of mono device. This is due to the fact that, with attractive design, budget devices often suffer from ergonomics.
A device without attachments, which performs three completely different functions (straightening, corrugation and curling of curls) will definitely do one thing to the detriment of the other.
For example, when straightening your hair, you can overexpose the strands a little, and now you get not even hair, but an elegant wave.
How to use?
All devices are easy to use, the time for full heating of the elements is about 5 minutes. Hair must be divided into strands and gently squeezed between two or three elements, hold for 10 to 20 seconds and move the strand below.
The ironing comb is also easy to use. The required temperature mode is selected by pressing the buttons "+" and "-" (each pressing of the button is +5 degrees). The hair is then divided into strands and passed through a comb. To straighten the hair, it is enough to pass the strand through the device 2-3 times.
Do not brush your hair immediately after styling, let it cool.
