A curler that curls hair itself

Who would have thought a couple of decades ago that even hair curlers will become automatic. Innovative developments in the field of the beauty industry have reached the point that a curling iron has been created that curls hair itself. Now, without any extra effort, every girl at home can quickly create chic curls. What is a tool and how to choose it, our experts will tell.

Automatic curling for curls: what is it

Automatic curling (styler) is an electric device for curling hair with a rotating heating element. The device differs from ordinary classical forceps in that it does not require manual winding of a curl on a heat pipe. In a special hole, you only need to insert the tip of the strand, then the gadget independently and very quickly winds it onto the heating cylinder.

In addition, the car layer emits a sound signal, informing that it is time to unwind the curl. Thus, the burning of hair, their damage is prevented. The tool also has protection against improper wrapping. If the curl suddenly tangled inside or wound incorrectly, the device turns off by issuing a sound signal in advance. Hands are also protected from burns: the styler case is completely thermally insulated.

Maximum safety, convenience, curling speed are the main advantages of automatic hair tongs.

Today, almost all of the famous brands that produce devices for beauty and health, have in their lines auto-pliers.

Pros and cons of automatic pads

Any, even the most, it would seem, convenient and excellent gadget has its advantages and disadvantages. We find out what is so positive in this curling iron and whether it has negative parameters.

1. Designed for independent use.
2. It does not require special skills.
3. Convenience and speed of winding.
4. High security.
5. Good models have a large number of settings for different types of hair.

Minuses:

1. It does not happen in all stores.

3. Sometimes it confuses hair, although it immediately turns off.

What to look for when choosing

Depending on the company and the specific model, the tool may differ in quality, coating of the heating element, set of functions. If the curler itself twists the hair, this is not an indicator of complete safety. Today, Chinese fakes of low quality began to appear on the market, it is better to bypass them. Consider a number of criteria for choosing a truly reliable styler.

Coating

The quality of the coating is the most important parameter when choosing a thermal tool for curling curls. Not only hair health, but also the life of the hairdresser device depends on it. This is about covering the heating zone, on which the strands are wound.

1. Metal. Nowadays, bare metal is almost never used in forceps. It has its advantages: it is resistant, heats up quickly, inexpensive. But its effect on the hair is extremely negative, so you should not buy such a device.
2. Teflon. At one time, this coating was very popular. Hair from contact with Teflon is dried much less. However, the material itself is unstable and begins to gradually wear off after a few months of using the curling iron.
3. Ceramics. Coating has proven itself in the best way. From it there is practically no harm to the hair. Of the minuses, there is only one - it is afraid of bumps, from which it splits, cracks.
4. Tourmaline, a natural mineral with high thermal conductivity, has been used in thermal tools not so long ago.Differs in safety, high wear resistance.
5. Titanium. The strongest kind of coating that exists. It does not harm the hair, but it costs a little.

There are also curling irons with combined coatings: glass-ceramic, titanium-ceramic, ceramic-tourmaline, titanium-tourmaline. The double combination of materials makes the coating even more durable and high quality.

Temperature conditions

The presence of a temperature regulator on the tongs is extremely necessary. On average, the curling iron, which itself twists the curls, has a heating range from 100 to 230 degrees. The number of temperature conditions can be from 3 to 10 or even more.

Setting the styler warm-up helps to choose the optimal temperature for different types of hair. The finer the structure of the girl’s hair, the lower the heat required to curl it. Hard strands are more difficult to wind, they need a higher temperature. If you use the modes incorrectly, you can get either very weak, unstable curls or dried and cut strands.

Additional useful features

Some manufacturers equip their model of forceps with ionization function. Silver spraying generates negatively charged ions, which contribute to the penetration of moisture deep into the hairs. Such a curling iron favorably affects the hair. Hair heals, looks silk, less split.

Tips for what else to look for

A good curling iron, which automatically twists the hair itself, should have the following parameters:

1. The case is made of durable plastic. Not a single detail should play, rattle, look flimsy.
2. Anti-slip handle. If the plastic on the handle does not have a special coating, the tool may begin to slip in your hands. It may fall out and be damaged.
3. Spinning cord. Any high-quality device is equipped with a wire that rotates around its axis. This protects it from excesses and creases.
4. Warranty from the manufacturer. All leading brands give a guarantee for their devices for at least a year. In case of marriage, breakdowns, you can always solve the problem at the lowest cost.

Types of automatic pads

Automated hair curlers are divided into two main types:

1. Open. A heating rotating cylinder in such a device is not completely hidden under the body. The strand is fed into it from the tip, the winding process can be observed.
2. Closed. The thermal element is completely hidden by the body, the strands are fed into the curling iron at the base of growth. The device independently captures the curl and winds it.

And in fact, and in another case, you need to pull the curl out of the tongs yourself, after the sound signal.
