Curling iron tips you need to know about
by Nitish Singh Rana Digital Marketing ConsultantCurling
your hair shouldn’t be confusing. Whether you’re creating beachy waves or
elegant curls, your curling iron can do it all. The key is getting to know your
iron and knowing exactly what it can do for your hair. So, before you start
curling, brush up on how best to use your hot tools. Here are curling iron tips
that you need to know about before styling your hair.
1-
Get to know the curling iron
When
it comes to a hair curling machine,
there are three main materials that your iron could be made out of. The first
type is ceramic curling iron. Ceramic irons evenly distribute heat along the
barrel as well as emit negative ions in
order to moisturize and smooth the hair shaft. These negative ions are
essentially extremely tiny particles that help to seal the hair’s cuticle and
repeal any humidity or moisture.
The
next type is a tourmaline iron. What makes these irons special is that they
emit six times more negative ions than either ceramic or titanium irons. By
emitting that amount of negative ions, tourmaline irons can smooth the hair’s
cuticle and add tons of shine to the hair.
The
last type is titanium curling iron. These irons also have evenly distributed
heat as well as a smooth barrel surface to prevent the hair from sticking or
snagging on the iron.

Understanding the different sizes of curling iron
As
you may know, curling irons come in a variety of sizes. From the smallest size
of 3/8 inch to the largest size of 2 inches, there is a curling iron that is
perfect for the size of curl that you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a
slight bend to the hair or to create loose waves, reach for irons that are 1 ½ inch
to 2 inches. However, if you want spiral or tighter curls, you should gravitate
towards either 3/8 inch irons or 5/8 inch irons. Don’t know which to choose?
One-inch curling irons are always a safe bet when choosing an iron.
3. The
Ponytail trick
Need
big, beautiful waves ASAP? Try the ponytail trick. Start by putting all of your
hair into a high pony. Next, heat your curling iron and begin curling half-inch
to one-inch section of the ponytail. Once all of the hair has been curled, undo
your elastic and let down your perfect waves. Just set with a high-hold hairspray to keep the curls in place all day
long.
4. Leave
the ends out
Create
a beachy texture with the hair curling
machine in your strands while curling by leaving the ends of your hair
out of the barrel. By doing this, your ends will have a straighter appearance
and give the hair a more bohemian look.
5.
Let your curls cool
To
get a longer lifespan out of your curls, try catching your curls in your hand
after releasing them from the barrel. By doing this, the curl cools in its
natural shape, which allows the strands to hold that curl pattern better. Just
be sure to use a glove when doing this, so you don’t end up burning your skin.
