A curling iron (also known as a curling stick or automatic curling device) is a styling tool that shapes curly hair through heating or mechanical means. It is suitable for creating various styles of curly hair (such as big waves, wool curls, water ripples, etc.). Here is a comprehensive overview of curling irons, including types, how to use them, purchase tips and precautions:
1. Traditional electric curling irons
¢ Principle: By heating through a ceramic/titanium alloy heating element, manually wrap the hair to set.
¢ Advantage: Adjustable temperature (120°C to 230°C), suitable for skilled users to create various styles.
¢ Disadvantages: Skill is required for operation, and novices are prone to burns or uneven curls.
2. Auto-curler (lazy curler)
¢ Principle: Motor-driven automatic suction of hair, one-click shaping (like Dyson Airwrap).
¢ Advantages: Easy to operate, scald resistant design, suitable for hand-disabled people.
¢ Disadvantages: High price, limited roll options.
3. Curling comb/straight curling rod
¢ Principle: The comb is combined with the heating element and curls while combing.
¢ Advantages: Suitable for short hair or slightly curled ends, less likely to get stuck.
4. No hot curling iron (sponge/silicone)
¢ Principle: Wet hair wraps naturally to air dry, no damage.
¢ Applicable scenarios: Bedtime styling or for children.

1. Preparation Work
¢ After shampooing, blow-dry your hair until it is 80% dry and spray with heat insulation spray (heat protection).
¢ Clip your hair in sections (starting from the lower layer).
2. Curling operation
¢ Manual curling irons: Take a small lock of hair, pinch the ends and curl inward/outward, hold for 5 to 10 seconds.
¢ Automatic curling iron: Insert the ends of your hair into the slot and press the button to automatically curl (pay attention to the direction).
3. Styling tips
¢ After cooling, gently comb your hair and spray a small amount of hair gel to maintain curls.
⚠️ Temperature control:
l Fine hair: 120°C to 160°C
l Normal hair: 160°C to 180°C
l Coarse and hard hair: 180°C to 200°C
⚠️ Avoid damage:
l Do not reheat the same area more than three times.
l Make sure your hair is completely dry before curling it (wet hair is prone to foaming when heated).
