How do electric curlers work?
Curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers damage your hair. Therefore, most women treat new hair curling products with distrust, not understanding how they work.
Electric curlers do not harm the strands and scalp, unlike their predecessors
Their job is as follows:
- The base, which is sold with curlers, is equipped with an electric element. It heats the electric curlers using current.
- Electric current heats the coils to a high temperature, and the wax inside gives off heat.
- When strands are wound on curlers, they accumulate heat like batteries, gradually cooling down.
The wax cools slowly. This time is enough to get neat curls.
How to choose electric curlers
When purchasing, you should pay attention to several important features:
- Electric roller heating time. If you need to prepare quickly, it is better to choose models that heat up in 2-3 minutes.
- Portability. An important feature of choosing electric curlers if a person plans to travel. It is better to buy compact kits.
- Material. Electric curlers come in ceramic, aluminum and Teflon. The last two types are used in beauty salons because aluminum dries out the hair greatly, but they are much cheaper.
- Quantity. Depends on the thickness of the hair. Before purchasing, make sure that the set contains sufficient quantities.
- Heating settings. Some models have a lower temperature. They are ideal for damaged and thin hair.
The kits differ in the size of the rollers. The larger the diameter of the electric rollers, the larger the waves will be. Small size products are good for creating tight curls. The kit also includes a case that connects to the network and clips for holding the rollers on the hair.
