For curls that are obedient, the temperature should be around 150 degrees. A higher temperature is needed for heavy hair - up to 200 degrees. And if the strands are colored, then 90 degrees is the ceiling.

3. Teflon: no less popular look that protects your curls, but with frequent use it becomes worthless.
