Curling irons use heat and pressure to create curls and waves in one’s hair. They usually consist of a heating barrel and a handle. They are used by pressing hair around the barrel and allowing the heat to set the curls. The handle usually contains the power switch and temperature controls to prevent overheating and scorching the hair. Most curling irons are powered by batteries or AC power.
Barrel size: Choose a curling iron with a small barrel to create finer curls, and a larger barrel for wide curls and waves. Look for one with multiple attachments that allow you to change barrel sizes according to your preference. Heat settings: Look for a curling iron with several temperature settings. Choose a curling iron with higher heat settings if you have thick, coarse hair to better penetrate each strand. Finer hair snaps more easily and should be curled at lower temperatures.
Safety features: Choose a curling iron with an automatic shutoff feature to keep it from scorching the hair when it overheats. Look for one with an indicator light to alert you when the heat reaches unsafe levels.
