Automatic hair curlers
The dream of a quick stunning styling, like from a beauty salon, has become a reality. The automatic curling iron is very easy to create a stunning day or evening look in just a few minutes.
Peculiarities
At first glance, the automatic device for creating perfect curls is no different from the classic tongs. The main design feature is the mechanism. The rotating element instantly curls even the toughest, stubborn hair.
A newfangled styler does not spoil the hair as much as the good old curling iron. This is because in the mechanism of such hair styling devices there is a timer that will not let you spoil your hair. It will ring as soon as the curl is ready.
In addition, it has a special coating (ceramic or tourmaline), which reduces the harmful thermal effects.
Kinds
There are two types of automatic curlers, each of which has its own advantages:
- Open. Its main feature is simplicity. She grabs the strand from the end. This is much easier than trying to curl from the roots. At the end of the procedure, a signal will sound, after which the curl itself will automatically unwind.
- Closed. It is so called because the drum inside the device winds the hair from the very roots. This is a little more difficult to do than in the open styler. In addition, after auto-curling, you need to pull out the finished curl yourself.
