Varieties of thermal curlers

Many women want to have beautiful and curly curls, but nature has endowed them with straight hair. There is a way out in this case: hair can be easily curled with curlers or other devices. But ordinary curlers are quite inconvenient to use, and curling irons harm the hair, so they have been replaced by new thermal curlers that provide high-quality and fast curling. It is important to know what thermal curlers are, how to use them and how to choose the right one.

Thermal curlers are a device for curling hair. They are also called hot curlers. Usually, experts put them between ordinary curlers and a curling iron. But this device is very different from these two: the curlers need to be kept on the hair for quite a long time, sometimes you have to sleep with them, and the curling iron does not always give the desired and lasting effect, in addition, you have to spend quite a lot of time to curl each strand with it. Thermal curlers, on the contrary, in appearance resemble ordinary ones, but act on the hair, evenly heating them in a twisted position, thereby fixing it.

These devices are made of plastic, which makes up the frame of the curlers and paraffin, which fills them. Thus, paraffin is easily heated, but the plastic does not overheat at the same time, its external properties change, and the curlers themselves warm up in just a few minutes. Plastic allows you to keep the paraffin heated for a long time, while heating becomes uniform. But if you heat such devices to too high a temperature, the hot paraffin can affect the plastic, changing its external properties, and then on your hair.

It is believed that thermal curlers harm the hair, but experts have long proven that the curling iron has a much more negative effect on the hair, overdrying it and thereby leading to brittleness and splitting, since in this case exposure to higher temperatures occurs. Thermal curlers, warming up smoothly and evenly, do not allow the hair to dry out and do not spoil their structure. But still, in case you somehow overheated the hot rollers, they can also harm the hair, so you need to be more careful with this. Another disadvantage of thermal curlers is that not all hairstyles can be made with their help, but only curls are curled equally, while a curling iron allows you to achieve a more effective result.

A significant advantage is that when curling with thermal curlers, the hair is kept in the form of light springs for quite a long time, and the effect of the curling iron is considered to be short-lived. Thus, it turns out that when using such devices, you, after heating the thermal curlers and winding your hair on them, leave them for about 15 minutes, while doing your own business, nothing distracts you. Curling with a curling iron usually takes about half an hour, or even longer. And in the case of thermal curlers, you just take them off and enjoy the effect of beautiful curls.

All women have ever used classic curlers, so it can be easily concluded that they are similar in appearance to the thermal counterpart, but you do not need to walk with them for several hours or sleep all night, because this causes a lot of inconvenience. Thermal curlers curl hair in a short time and practically do not harm them. They are very easy and quick to use, so you can save a lot of time. In addition, thermal curlers have a rather beautiful appearance and they are pleasant to the touch. The appearance of a woman whose strands are wound on such devices will not cause surprise or horror, as sometimes happens with old classic curlers.

They are also very easy and convenient to fix with soft clips, gently holding on to the hair and not damaging it, as it was before in cases when women used ordinary curlers and fixed them with elastic bands. It turned out that when removing these old classic devices, part of the hair was torn out along with elastic bands, and part was injured. Thus, we can conclude that the thermal analogue is much more gentle than the classic version.

Also, experts note that the effect of using thermal curlers is quite persistent, and the curls themselves become very elastic. The strands look beautiful and interesting, their bend can be both large and coquettishly small.It is much easier to make a hairstyle out of such curls, they will be easy to style and at the same time they will not bloom or develop.

Now manufacturers create a large number of different types of thermal curlers, each of which is selected individually depending on the length, type and structure of the hair. There are products that heat up in different ways and affect the hair, there are curlers with a variety of coatings, they also come in different sizes and volumes.

The very first appeared thermal curlers, which are considered classic, a feature of their heating is that they need to be boiled in water. Such curling devices can simply be "boiled" in a gas pot, they are very easy to use, but not completely safe, because they can be overheated in this way. Very easy to use thermal curlers that can be heated in the microwave. To do this, they need to be placed inside this device and heated for a certain time at high power. Such curlers are very often used for curling at home.

The newest and most modern are electric models, they are very easy and convenient to heat, and this is the safest type of curler, as they are heated to a safe temperature. Such devices are heated by electricity, you can adjust their temperature by setting the heating time. The electric curlers themselves are non-standard in their design. They heat up due to the fact that there is a thin metal wire inside them. Initially, the wire is heated by electricity, and he, in turn, heats up the paraffin inside the curler.

All curlers also vary in size.This indicator of classifying them into species affects the size of the curls. The larger you want to make a perm on the strands of hair, the larger the diameter of the curlers you need. Large devices are able to give the hair volume and curl them more massively. Typically, these curlers are purchased for curling long hair. The most versatile are medium-sized thermal curlers, these are models that can create original curls that will look different on hair of different types and lengths.

Curlers with a small diameter are able to create small and playful curls that will be able to diversify your image. Very dense and medium-sized curls can be created using universal curlers, which are called spiral. They are perfect for any hair length.

All hot rollers, depending on the type of construction and heating method, differ in the material of manufacture. The very first models made of aluminum appeared, they provide a long curling effect, but are unsafe. Such curlers can ruin the structure of the hair, overheating it. Almost all thermal curlers have a plastic frame:

• More famous and modern are devices made of Teflon or ceramics. They are quite gentle compared to their aluminum counterpart and gently curl the hair without damaging it. Curlers with ionic coating protect the hair very well, it prevents overheating of the hairs.

• Flock models are very popular, they are also less harmful and practically safe.Thermal rollers protect hair best with velor covered. It protects the hair from exposure to high temperatures, in addition, the hair on such a coating is gently and neatly distributed, warming up evenly and providing beautiful curls of the same volume.

In order to minimize the risk of hair damage, it is necessary to choose the right rollers. Initially, it is necessary to pay attention to how the thermal curlers heat up. Models that are warmed up by immersion in hot water and boiling are more dangerous because you can't adjust their temperature, which can damage your hair. It would be better to opt for electric hot rollers, since you can set the heating temperature on them to the desired level.

The next thing to consider is their diameter. In order to correctly choose the curlers of the desired diameter, it is necessary to take into account the rule: the size of one curl will be equal to half the volume of the curler. For small curls, fixtures with a diameter of 10 or 14 cm are most often purchased, there are smaller models. For larger curls, it is better to choose a volume of 28 cm.

When choosing, you need to pay attention to the material from which the products are made, because if you have brittle and weak hair, get curlers from the most gentle materials, such as ceramics, the velor coated option is perfect. In case you want to create very natural curls, get curlers with a velvet coating, they can create the effect of natural curly curls.

Models with an ionization function are considered very good, so it is better to give them preference when choosing thermal curlers. Ionization prevents overdrying, and also acts as an air conditioner. In general, try to choose only the highest quality models. Typically, such hot rollers have the function of protection against overheating, they differ in that they are able to turn off on their own when the temperature during heating becomes the maximum allowable. This is a great protective feature that will help you take care of your hair while curling.

If you want to save time spent on curling, namely on warming up such curlers, purchase models with the highest power. The highest quality models have a power of about 300-400 W, such thermal curlers heat up to the desired temperature very quickly, so curling does not take much time. Pay special attention to curlers with thermally insulated edges, it is very convenient to wind them on curls, it is safe, you exclude the possibility of getting burned. The length of the cord is also of great importance if you purchase electric hot rollers. Devices with a long cord are more convenient to use.

To create beautiful curls with the help of thermal rollers, you need to use them correctly, it is important not to overheat them and gently wind them around your hair.This must be done without creases, and when winding the strand must be stretched, and each such device must be twisted inward. To create a beautiful and high-quality styling with a minimum of harm to the hair, it is necessary to use thermal protective agents, foam or hairspray. The latter are able to fix the styling. When curling, the curlers should be held carefully, and the hair should be wound carefully and slowly.

Hot rollers can be used on hair of different lengths, but the curling method will differ depending on the length of the hair, so you need to follow the step-by-step instructions for use. It is very important to choose the right winding method in order to make a beautiful and high-quality styling.

The scheme for curling long hair is quite simple, but it is important to use large-diameter thermal curlers to give volume to the curls, because the longer your hair, the larger the diameter of such devices should be:

• Before moving on to curling long hair, you need to wash your hair. Using a thin comb, you need to divide all the hair into three equal parts, starting from the forehead and ending with the back of the head. Then the three resulting parts of the hair must be fixed with clips. Next, you should warm up the hot rollers from electricity or in another way.
• It is necessary to start curling the central part of the hair. The very first will be a thin strand, which is closest to the forehead.It must be carefully wound on curlers from the bottom up, and the curlers should be located behind the strand in a horizontal position. With such thin curls, it is necessary to curl the entire middle third of the hair towards the back.
• Next, you need to move on to curling any of the two extreme partsth, only in this case the strands do not twist back, but in different directions, and the curlers should also be located horizontally. The ideal option would be to curl in such a way that each such device will be directed to the corresponding side parallel to the floor.

• When all the strands are wrapped in curlers, you can cover them with a thin layer of fixing hairspray to ensure the styling lasts. In this position, the hair should be left for about 15 minutes.

After that, you can remove all the curlers from your head, and it is better if you remove them in the same sequence in which you wrapped your hair around them.

On curls of medium length, styling is done in approximately the same way as on long ones. The hair is also divided into 3 parts, the strands of each of which are alternately wound on curlers. But with an average length, it is better to make smaller curls, they should be very beautiful and elastic:

• To do this, before curling, you need to moisten the hair roots a little, and winding them on curlers, you need to fix them abundantly with hairspray. Also, at the end of the curl, it is necessary to remove the thermal curlers one by one, and then break the large strands into smaller ones.
• Separate the curls with your hands with wax applied to them, because this way you will not ruin your curls.

In order to beautifully curl short hair:

• Initially, you need to carefully distribute the foam along the entire length of the hair and wrinkle the strands with your hands so that it is absorbed. It would be better for you to use curlers of medium diameter, while the hair also needs to be divided into 3 equal parts, the curl should start from the central part.
• It is better if you take wider strands so that the curls are large and neat. So you can create a classic styling on short hair. Short hair is better to curl a little longer: thermal curlers must be kept for about 30 minutes.
• After removing these devices, you will get large curls that will be curled quite tightly. They should be divided into small curls with the sharp end of the comb, which will look very beautiful and sophisticated on short hair.
