Wide curling irons
It so happened that girls with curly hair are trying in every way to straighten them, and ladies with straight hair are trying to curl them. To date, there is a huge selection of a wide variety of hair curling irons from both Russian and foreign manufacturers. Curling irons come in a variety of types and are designed to create large or small curls. I would like to pay special attention to stylers for creating large curls, which are otherwise called wide curling irons. Next, you will learn a lot of interesting information about such curling irons, their huge range and the advice of experts who will tell you how to use them correctly.
How to choose?
In order not to miscalculate when choosing and to acquire the coveted and multifunctional model of the curling iron for more than one year, you should pay attention to its functional characteristics and whether it is convenient to hold it in your hands.
Choosing a wide curling iron to create large waves or curls should be based on the following points:
- The diameter must be taken into account. The larger it is, the larger the curls will be. Curling irons with a diameter of 50 mm will help create big curls and round the hair strands. Such wide curling irons are perfect for ladies with long hair who want to get large strands or a brushing effect. The smaller diameter 38 mm curling iron is perfect for light beach waves with spectacular volume.Curling irons 32 mm are considered the most optimal and versatile, with their help you can make medium and larger curls. Curling iron 25 mm is suitable for beauties with medium and short hair, with its help you can get great waves.
Nippers with smaller diameters allow you to get tighter and more pronounced curls.
- In order to keep your hair healthy, it is very important to pay attention to the basic finish of your styler. The best acquisitions, of course, will be ceramic or titanium coated curling irons. The ionization function will also be useful. But it is best to refuse devices with a metal coating, since such a coating can harm the hair.
- Temperature control is very important. Some companies offer models with just one mode or the ability to set it to a minimum or maximum, while others produce curling irons with 5 or even more modes for a variety of hair types.
- If you choose a large diameter curling iron, always pay attention to the presence of a special clip or tip that will protect your hands from burns.
- If you need something versatile, then conical curling irons will easily save the situation, since with their help you can make a variety of curls.
In order not to be disappointed in your future styler, it is best to give preference to professional brands that sell styling equipment. Most often, reputable companies work only with safe, durable and proven materials that meet European quality and do not injure hair at all.

Where to buy and how much do they cost?
In consumer electronics stores, you will find many models of pads from a variety of companies. The difference between styling products is in price and, of course, in characteristics. Also, many online stores offer products of this type, but if you are a fan of online shopping, then it is best to stop your choice on the official websites of manufacturers, and among ordinary stores, always choose licensed and proven ones so as not to stumble upon a fake.
Prices for curling irons of various diameters can vary from 500 to 5000 rubles, and more professional and advanced models designed for salons can cost even more. Curling irons with a very low price tag should not attract you, since in most cases their coating is metallic, which means that with each subsequent styling, the hair will be injured even more, and the money saved on the technique will have to be invested in their treatment. Therefore, consider your future purchase, besides, expensive curling irons from trusted companies rarely disappoint anyone.
Expert advice
When creating large curls, some experts recommend twisting them with curlers after curling, so the hairstyle will last longer.
To take care of the condition of your hair, before using flat irons or other styling tools, apply special heat-protective sprays, oils or serums to your hair, which will protect the hair surface from overdrying and overheating.
If you apply varnish or other styling product before using the styler, do not forget to clean your curling iron after all this, otherwise the coating will become unusable over time and will harm your hair.
No matter how gentle the curling iron is, try not to use it every day, because the hair is still subjected to thermal stress. If you still use styling equipment very often, do not forget about regular hair care, which includes hair masks, properly selected complexes of shampoos, balms and conditioners, as well as protective sprays.
For girls with thin, dyed or damaged hair, it is best to use the minimum temperature when styling, medium heat is suitable for ladies with normal hair, but hard and naughty hair should be twisted at high temperatures.
How to store?
In order for your styler to live with you for a single year, you should properly store it and do not forget to take care of it. To do this, it is better not to choose the bathroom as a place of his permanent residence due to high humidity. It is better to give preference to dry places, such as bedside tables or cabinets. It is also important to protect the surface of the device from scratches and other damage; for this, a special case is included with the curling iron. But it happens that it is not there, so be sure to take care of acquiring it.
