What is the difference between original and fake?
It is no secret that when original goods appear on the market, their copies for mass consumption immediately appear. Self-respecting manufacturers care about the buyer and therefore, first of all, they pay a lot of attention to quality, safety and functionality, which cannot be said about fakes.
Also, original curling irons differ from their copies in durability. The BaByliss brand claims that with continuous use, the device will create beautiful hairstyles for 10,000 hours, when a Chinese product is designed for only 5,000.
When buying an original curling iron, you should pay attention to:
- Packaging. All original products are packed in a black and white box with holography.
- Instrument color. Only black available. There should not be any questionable stickers on the case. All information is applied only with high-quality paint.
- Producer country. The branded product is made in France.
- Fork. European type.
- Price. High-quality and original goods cannot be sold at a reduced price. A real French curling iron costs two to three times more than its copy.
- Temperature regime. The Chinese manufacturer has only two regulation modes: 210 and 230 degrees, which is very dangerous for the health of thin and weakened hair. The original product on the control panel has three modes for all types of curls.
- Heat. The branded curling iron heats up in just 30 seconds. A fake will not be enough for a minute and a half for full functionality.
- The direction of the curls. A Chinese product cannot change curl directions when the original has several modes, including automatic.
- Safety. A fake is dangerous because, if used incorrectly, the drum can chew or tear out hair, and the body can shock or burn the skin of the hands.
How to use?
Thanks to automatic control, temperature sensors and high safety, BaByliss curling irons are very easy to use. Everything is clear on an intuitive level and even a teenager can handle the creation of a chic hairstyle.
The manufacturer BaByliss has a fairly large assortment of different curling irons, but there is only one unique and the only device in the world that can twist the curls automatically. This is Babyliss "MiraCurl", on the example of which you can consider the principle of operation and rules of use.
The whole process of creating hairstyles is automatic.The principle of operation of the curling iron is to direct the hair into the internal compartment of the device and gently but thoroughly heat the curl until the moisture has completely evaporated. Hair during this procedure is not injured, but on the contrary, it becomes smooth and shiny.
Curler Babyliss "MiraCurl" has a curl direction regulator, 3 temperature and time modes.
For weak and thin strands, you should use the 190 degree mode, and already 210 degrees is ideal for normal healthy curls, and the mode set to 230 should be used only for thick, unruly or curly hair.
In order to get a soft and smooth curl, you need to use a curling iron for no more than 8 seconds. For a strand of medium elasticity, it is recommended to hold the device for up to 10 seconds. But for a strongly twisted curl, you can set the time to 12 seconds.
On the control panel, you can choose one of several directions for creating curls - right, left, automatic mode in one direction or with a regular change in direction.
After the device is configured, you must wait until the red ready indicator stops flashing and becomes permanent:
- First you need to comb all the hair. So that they do not interfere, wind most of them and remove with a hairpin. Then take one strand no larger than three to four centimeters in size, sprinkle it with a special thermal protective agent and place it exactly in the center in the clamp of the device. Tightly, until it clicks, close the drum.
- The curl must be kept taut. To prevent burns, it is recommended to position the curling iron so that its side with a special icon faces the face.
- After short beeps, open the device and easily remove the hair without pulling or straightening. Curls should not be touched until completely cooled.It is worth noting that with a different set time period there will be a different number of signals. At 8 seconds - 3 beeps, at 10 - 4 sound signs and at 12 seconds - 5 short beeps.
Babyliss "MiraCurl" externally and internally is completely different from previous models of curling irons. Therefore, you should carefully read the instructions before disassembling or making repairs yourself.
The curling iron is a rather large clip with a long handle and a device for creating curls. On the handle itself there is a light indicator and buttons for adjusting the time and temperature.
When you open the clip, you can see the roller for the curl and the notch. The device has an electronically controlled motor, which allows the curling iron to work almost silently and with minimal vibration.
It should be noted that the handle is made of heat-resistant plastic and therefore, during operation, it does not heat up to high temperatures and does not burn the skin of the hands.
