It is very difficult to imagine a good styling without the use of modern tools - curling irons, irons, hair dryers. But with regular use, these devices make the hair dry and brittle. What if the hairstyle requires daily care? A good option for gentle styling can be modern electric curlers or thermal curlers.
Benefits
Earlier, thermal curlers were popular. Our mothers and grandmothers are well acquainted with them. In order to use them, you need to boil them in boiling water for at least 5-6 minutes. Since these devices did not have any thermal insulation, winding them up was extremely inconvenient.
Modern curlers have been transformed and are a new product that combines the qualities of electric styling devices and conventional curlers. These are thermometers that are heated by electricity. Inside each coil there is a paraffin rod and a speciala metal block that allows heat to pass through. When connected to the network, the surface of the curler is evenly heated around the entire perimeter, and if necessary, the set temperature can be maintained for a long time. Electric curlers have heat-resistant edges - this is their important advantage. This makes it possible to take them in your hands without burning yourself, and wind them up, forming the desired hairstyle style.
Electric rollers have a different coating: tourmaline, teflon, ceramic, velor or velvet. Devices equipped with ionic air conditioning are considered very successful. In this case, the hair is not only protected from thermal effects, but also tangles are prevented, static electricity is removed, and the structure is improved.
How electric curlers work
Modern devices of this type operate on a very simple principle: their inside (wax) is heated to a certain temperature when plugged in. Such curlers are electrical devices sold in special boxes. Each of them has a power button that starts the heating process. In a matter of minutes, the coils inside reach the desired temperature. Many boxes have a light indicator that indicates the readiness of the device. Usually waiting time is 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature you need.
