Mini hair straightener

Every girl who owns lush curls has a special iron in her bathroom to straighten her naughty hair. Straighteners have gained immense popularity, because they allow you to style your hair yourself right at home and do not spend money on the services of hairdressers and stylists. Curling irons not only allow you to straighten your hair, but also slightly round the ends, add volume and style your bangs. But not every fashionista has a place to store standard irons, and some travel light a lot and they simply do not have enough space in their hand luggage.

It was for such representatives of the fair sex that special mini-hair straighteners were created, which can easily fit in any women's handbag, and even more so in a suitcase. These small travel straighteners have become an indispensable device for many girls, which is not surprising, because their compact size does not take up much useful space.

Of course, the main advantage of these devices is their small size, due to which they received the name "pocket". This is very convenient for many, especially when traveling, when only a certain number of things can fit in a suitcase.Owners of very lush hair, who need to have a curling iron always at hand due to possible rain or high humidity, were able to appreciate the mini-irons, because it is at this moment that the hair begins to fluff and the styling loses its beauty. And since small curling irons can easily fit in a woman's purse, are lightweight and take up little space, they can always be carried with you.

Thanks to modern technologies, it has become possible to provide mini-curling irons not only with a surface for straightening, but also with some additional functions. For example, most irons necessarily have the ability to independently adjust the temperature, as well as a small display showing its level.

There are small curling irons with additional nozzles, which allows you to have a real travel styler for creating a variety of styling and hairstyles. Some manufacturers offer for very busy ladies who do not have time to style their hair at home, special mini curling irons with an adapter instead of a plug, which are connected to the cigarette lighter in the car.

Naturally, you should take precautions and in no case use the iron while driving a car or while you are driving. In the first case, with sudden braking, you can get burned, in the second, you can become the culprit of a traffic accident. If you need to style your hair or bangs, you can safely do it by parking near the sidewalk or being in a big traffic jam.

As a rule, most manufacturers supplement the iron with a storage cover and a soft rug that protects furniture from the hot surface of the appliance. A long cord, which is not inferior in size to ordinary curling irons, makes it possible to freely use the device without restricting movements. Pocket irons heat up a little faster due to their small dimensions, the standard heating time is 20-30 seconds.

A big plus of such devices is the reduced power consumption, which will help save money.

Most modern manufacturers began to make mini irons and equip them with additional features, which allowed pocket curlers to stand almost on a par with larger devices. There are many criteria for choosing a particular device:

• Plate color. It should be noted that one of the important criteria is the color of the straightening surface, especially for colored hair. The fact is that when heated, some paints transfer to the mini-ironing plate itself, which is why it takes on a not very aesthetic appearance. That is why girls with dyed hair are recommended to buy devices with a black or colored surface.
• Material. The safety of the procedure for your curls also depends on the coating material. Some are universal and suitable for any type of hair, while others, while ideal for some, can harm others.
• Plate shape. The size and shape of the heating element also matters, as depending on the length and thickness of your hair, you may need a specific straightener. For example, if you are the owner of long and thick hair, larger and square-shaped plates are recommended for you. In the case of bangs, it is desirable that the curling iron has rounded edges, so it will be easier for you to style it. For short hair, it is better to use narrower and squarer plates, as they will allow you to work faster and more comfortably. Some girls buy mini irons not only as travel appliances, but also as a separate device for straightening bangs.
• Additional functions. Some manufacturers supplement mini irons with various features inherent in standard curling irons. For example, Tony & Guy have equipped their device with a small steam generator, thanks to which you can straighten not only dry, but also wet hair. There are devices with interchangeable nozzles, which are more like mini stylers. With their help, you can not only stretch the curls, but also create a corrugation effect or twist the ends.

Consider the types of surfaces:

• Aluminum. This material is an attribute of the oldest models of irons, therefore it is quite rare, as it does not have a protective property and can adversely affect the strands. Today, even on the most inexpensive devices, it will hardly be possible to see an aluminum layer.
• ceramic. This type of surface of the straightening part is the most common and versatile, as it perfectly copes with any type of hair without damaging the hairstyle and giving it smoothness and shine. It is worth noting that ceramics is often used as a protective layer for metal parts.
• Teflon. Teflon-coated mini irons are ideal for fragile and thin hair. The fact is that this material easily glides through the hair, does not stick to them and prevents damage to the structure of the curls.
• tourmaline. Such a coating is not often seen, but nevertheless it comes across and is recommended for girls suffering from electrification of hair after stretching. Tourmaline helps relieve tension and naturally ionize the hair, which in turn guarantees smoothness and shine.
• Marble. This is the rarest type of plate coating, but at the same time the most gentle, which protects the structure from elevated temperatures. These curling irons are suitable for girls with problematic hair.

Judging by the reviews, a fairly large number of girls prefer mini irons and are very pleased with them. The compact size allows you to carry them with you anywhere, and in terms of quality of work they are in no way inferior to their larger counterparts. It was these factors that became decisive during the purchase of the device. Yes, and the price of mini-flat irons, as a rule, is much lower, and straightening short hair or bangs is much more convenient with a small unit.

As for the brands that produce pocket hair devices, then in the first place, of course, are the devices of such a giant as Bosch. This company has long established itself as a manufacturer of quality products with a long service life.Produce mini-irons and companies specializing specifically in the manufacture of hair equipment, among them were Remington and Rowenta, in whose lines you can find several small appliances. But the largest assortment of the company Brown.
