Principle of operation and types
A styler is a tool for styling hair. It has a heating element powered by an electrical network or a built-in battery. From this description it is clear what a styler is. In fact, even the classic curling iron also belongs to such devices.
There are several types of these devices, for example:
- Round curling iron - has a round rod, inside it is a heating element. Used to work with hair of different lengths. They allow you to get beautiful curls (their diameter corresponds to the size of the rod).
- conical curling iron - has a working surface in the form of an elongated cone. It is designed to get curls that change curls along the entire length of the hair. Usually equipped with a clip, which makes it easy to use.
- spiral styler – with a heating element in the form of a spiral. They are needed to obtain thin strands, and the curls are very elegant and fairly even.
Depending on the number of elements, a styler of the following types is distinguished:
- double;
- triple.
In the first case, the hair is clamped between 2 heating elements, and in the second, between 3. Then the tool is gradually pulled out, moving towards the ends of the hair. The result is very beautiful curls that seem to flow. Therefore, a triple curling iron is also called a wave.
There are also devices for special purposes. Moreover, the instruction on how to use the hair styler is about the same. The most common types include:
- Triangular curling iron - allows you to get original curls with sharp edges. As a rule, this is not the device itself, but a nozzle to it.
- Rectifier - a common device with a flat heating surface that straightens curls. We can say about the styler that it is both a curling iron and a straightener (depending on the type of nozzle used).
- Corrugated tongs with a heating element in the form of a corrugated surface. With their help, they create waves in the form of a zigzag and visually increase the volume. Moreover, the strands need to be heated alternately, due to which a wave effect will be obtained.
- Multistyler - This is a universal tool with 2 or more nozzles. For example, it can be used as a corrugator, curling iron or straightener. Such models are more expensive, but they allow you to get very beautiful, original hairstyles.
Instructions for use
After it became clear what a hair styler is, and what types it comes in, you can begin to study the instructions. Each model has its own characteristics, but in general the rules are the same:
- You should never work not only with wet, but even with damp hair. In this case, the liquid will quickly heat up and even boil, so the strands will be damaged.
- When setting the temperature, you need to take into account the type of hair. It is better to purchase a model with temperature control, because in this case, even if the permissible value is exceeded, the device will give a signal.
- In order not to overdry and, moreover, not burn your hair, it is recommended to purchase thermal protection products, such as varnish, lotion or a conditioning mist.
- Always remember the 10 second rule. It is this time that is the maximum for continuous retention of hair in the heater.
- Repeated perm does not give the desired effect. Therefore, it is better to work with small strands one by one than to use the tool 2 times in the same place.
- It also happens that individual strands "do not obey." Then you just need to move on to the next curl, and return to the “naughty” one at the very end (at least after 5 minutes, so that it cools down).
Thus, you can understand what a multi-styler for hair is. This is a universal device that performs the functions of a curling iron, a straightener, and allows you to get curls of almost any shape. Learning how to use the tool is easy. To do this, you need to follow only a few rules described above.
