Household and professional straighteners forhair - these are styling devices that allow you to provide a smooth surface for strands by heating special plates between which the curl is clamped. Today, manufacturers offer a wide variety of types of such irons.

What should be the coating of the rectifier plates?

Today, manufacturers call the coating of the curling iron plates completely differently, but their purpose remains the same:

• prevention of overheating, uniform heating of strands without overheating points;
• Reduce friction when laying between hair andplates. The best instruments have a high smoothness, which makes it possible to make the piling as stable as possible in the shortened time of contact between the hot surface and strands;
• the material of the pads must be such that whenuse of special cosmetics for thermal styling does not stick to their surface. This will protect the strands from overheating, negative thermal effects. Do not forget that high-quality curling irons have an easy-to-clean surface, unlike cheap ones;
• it is desirable to have an ionized coating.

The laying plates themselves can be:

Metallic - this is the most common materialfor making curling irons, is now used less and less, as it has a number of disadvantages: cosmetics stick to the surface, they heat up and cool down more slowly, and it is much more difficult to regulate the temperature. It is not recommended to use such curling irons.

Ceramic plate differs more sparingexposure to the hair. Typically, these pads have special impregnations from tourmaline or nano-diamonds, which ensures the presence of the ionization function, and this is necessary to preserve the health and shine of the hair.

Titanium plates for ironing are also of high quality, they quickly heat up to the chosen temperature, do not have such negative effects as conventional metal ones.

Teflon coating provides excellentslip, that is, the time of contact with the strands is minimized, but with the use of cosmetics for laying the plates can get very dirty.

Mixed variants are now used in most devices. These are ceramic-teflon, ceramic-tourmaline, ceramic-titanium materials.

Antibacterial coating - this isa relative novelty. It consists in the use of a special nano-silver coating or the production of a special circuit that activates the air conditioning function under the influence of high temperatures.

What should the plate sizes be?All straightening devices can have different plates, the width of which varies. There are very narrow ones, with a width of only 2.5 cm, and there are wider ones. It is necessary to choose a curling iron based on what strands will be styled. Narrow plates are suitable for thin hair, wide ones are suitable for thicker hair. Narrow curling irons are recommended for styling curls, with wide ones this is simply impossible. But wide ones make it possible to reduce the time it takes to create a hairstyle. Also, wide pads (ceramic or metal) can be corrugated, that is, the hairstyle will turn out from unusual corrugated strands. Why is ionization needed? Some professional curling irons have a special ionization function. Why is it needed? The essence of ionization is that all the plates of the device are covered with a special ionic layer (for example, tourmaline), which, when heated, releases a stream of negatively charged ions. They envelop each hair, quickly restore the water balance inside it. Not all devices today have such a function that allows you to keep your hair smooth, manageable, shiny. Of the additional positive bonuses from using the ionization function, it is necessary to note that the hair stops electrifying, that is, the hairstyle remains unchanged, always looks very attractive and neat.
