• wood is a natural material that does not spoil hair and does not electrify them. It is well-proven as a form for chemical and biowaving;
• foam rubber - soft curlers, wound up all night. However, due to their deformation under the weight of the head, the formation of curls can be unpredictable;

Features of using electric curlers

These modern devices for styling hairstyles are sold in special boxes that are connected to the electrical network to heat the curlers. Each coil is filled with wax, which is heated to a predetermined temperature. The readiness period is from five to 15 minutes. Coil Coating - Teflon, Tourmaline, Ceramics, Velor or Velvet. Gradual heat loss to the hair is the basis for creating curls in this way.

How to use electric curlers, taking into account the nuances of using thermal coils:

1. You can use them on previously washed and dried hair.
2. Mandatory use of thermal protective agents.
3. To keep the hairstyle long, apply mousse or styling foam. Fixing gels are not recommended. They make strands heavier, volume is lost.
4. Like any other thermal effect, electric curlers dry the hairline. With frequent use of thermal styling, it loses its luster and elasticity. Therefore, experts urge the use of hot coils no more than once every seven days, and eliminate them altogether if the hair rods are thin, brittle and split.
5. If frequent use is necessary, electric curlers with a ceramic or velor top layer will help. The gentle effect of these materials on the structure of strands has long been known. Therefore, such coatings have professional hairdressing tools for wrapping.
6. Securing the lock on the fixture requires some skill. The main thing is to learn to make sure that the hair is not pinched and creases do not form, visually spoiling the appearance of the styling.
7. In electric curlers, you need to stay until the coils cool completely, about 15-30 minutes.
8. After unwinding, it is wiser not to comb the curls, but slightly fluff and fix with varnish. So styling will keep its shape well.

Care and Safety

It should be remembered that electric curlers, although they are analogous to thermal coils, but according to the principle of heating the working area are radically different.

1. In no case should you pour water into a container with coils. This type of thermal curler is not heated by hot water, but by a metal rod through which current flows.
2. Do not leave the included container unattended. After heating, it does not automatically turn off, but maintains the temperature at the proper level. Therefore, the installation will work almost continuously, which will lead to burnout of the device.
3. After the indicator, which indicates the set temperature, is activated, you must first disconnect the device from the network, only then touch the coils.
4. The main difference between the electric curler and the thermovariant is that they are equipped with heat-resistant edges. This allows you to use them without risk of getting burned. But you need to remove the coils from the container correctly, touching the zone protected from heat.

Maintenance of thermal devices is simple. It comes down to regular cleansing of hair and styling residue. It is advisable to avoid falls of accessories, this can lead to their deformation.

• Fragile and thinned hair requires a careful attitude. Soft foam coils, which are applicable during sleep, are suitable for their installation. Thermal care in this case is undesirable.
• On thick and thick hair, thermal styling works great. It is ideal to use electric curlers of different diameters.Those that are smaller are on the lower layers of the hair, those that are larger are on the upper. Such a scheme will well hold the hairstyle and its volume.
• For short haircuts, Velcro is suitable, as well as plastic, metal, wooden and small diameter electric curlers.
• On the hairline of medium length, you can wind all kinds and types of curlers of medium or slightly larger size.
• Long curls will be handled by spiral devices and large-diameter thermo-or electric curlers. Using Velcro is not practical - they will not hold a large amount.
