Hair styling devices: types and rules of use

Women with curly hair prefer to straighten it, and with straight hair they prefer to curl it. Moreover, all conditions have been created for this in the modern world. You can achieve excellent results on your hair even at home, using curling irons, irons and some other stylers. In this article, we will take a closer look at what tools can help you style your hair yourself, consider the main criteria for their selection and expert advice.

Curling irons of old samples have long since sunk into oblivion. They were replaced by modern electrical appliances that do not spoil the hair structure and have more capabilities. Today, a variety of brands produce the following types of forceps:

• classic, they are also called standard;
• with 2 working surfaces (for example, to obtain a corrugation);
• triple, to get the most interesting curling;
• spiral options.

Depending on the type of forceps, they can have different diameters. It should be chosen based on the condition of the hair and its length. Before choosing, we recommend that you pay attention to the following characteristics.

• Forceps diameter. Typically, it can be 10-30 mm, depending on the model.
• Power and temperature conditions. Most often, forceps are heated from 40 to 60 degrees, there are options and more powerful, but less often.
• Coating. Today it is especially important to pay attention to it. Iron and metal coatings are no longer used, because they were replaced by safer ones - ceramic, titanium and tourmaline with all kinds of additional coatings like keratin or silk film.
• Warm-up time also matters... It is especially important for those who are constantly in a hurry somewhere and are late, performing styling early in the morning.
• Cord. It can be of different lengths. The longest options are most often purchased by professional craftsmen for salons, while for home use, forceps with an average cord length are quite suitable.

In the modern world, a straightener (or iron) occupies a special place on the shelf among residents of megacities. If not every lady has it, then every second woman for sure. The straightener allows you to get the straightest, shiniest and smoothest curls in just a few minutes. Rectifiers come in the following varieties.

• Metallic. Metal rectifiers are considered the most beneficial, but not the safest. They belong to the very budgetary category of this kind of technical means. Moreover, when using additional styling products for styling like foam or spray, metal plates will adhere to the hair, which is also a big disadvantage, since such adhesion is fraught with negative consequences for the hair.
• Ceramic. They are considered one of the most popular and safest. They do not damage the hair structure even with prolonged and regular use. And if such rectifiers also have an additional diamond coating, then they can generally restore hair and split ends.
• Titanium. These straighteners are also safe for hair. They heat up quickly and also straighten curls quickly. Titanium plates are good because heat is distributed as evenly as possible on them, which gently straightens the hair. The disadvantage of such a coating is that scratches can form on it over time.
• Teflon. These straighteners are considered one of the most practical and durable, their plates are very smooth, which ensures perfect glide through the hair from root to tip.
• Combined options... These options include irons with a combination of several coatings, as well as, for example, antibacterial irons with a special layer of nanosilver.

In order to choose the right straightener for your hair, it is also very important to consider a number of points.

• To begin with, it is very important to decide what type and class the iron is needed. So, less expensive options are quite suitable for home use, but, of course, they cannot be compared with professional ones, which can cost a decent price.
• If you need a straightener that will quickly heat up and not injure your hair, then it is best to take a closer look at the professional series of irons.
• Variants with metal plates are not recommended. Despite the fact that they cost several times cheaper than ceramic ones, such devices spoil the hair very badly, after which they become weakened and split. However, they can be used for one-time use.
• For short hair, small irons with narrow plates are quite suitable, but for long hair, on the contrary, it is best to select wide plates.
• Lovers of corrugation can pay attention to the set with an iron and additional attachments. They are very practical and easy to use on your own.
