How is a cone-shaped curling iron different from a conventional model?
A cone-shaped hair curler looks like an elongated cone, tapering in diameter towards the tip. Its main difference from other curling irons is that it does not have a clip, which prevents the appearance of a crease in the curl. Therefore, for the first times of independent use, you will have to practice, since you will have to hold both the device itself and the tip of the curl.
When working with it, you must wear a special thermal gloves to protect your hands from burns.
This model allows you not to spoil the hair, but to create neat, even curls. This curling iron belongs to professional models, because it will be difficult for an inexperienced user to make perfectly curled curls.
Basic selection parameters
If you want to curl your curls on your own, and not spend money on a perm or a trip to a beauty salon, then an excellent solution would be to purchase your own cone curling iron. The choice should be taken seriously, since the health and beauty of the hair depends on it.
The larger the diameter of the cone, the larger the curl will be.
Despite the fact that professional cone devices are more expensive than conventional ones, they are of high quality. Typically, these devices have a variety of temperature conditions and temperature controllers.
- A quality cone with a good working surface should heat up quickly.
- Small cones are suitable for owners of short to medium hair.
- For women with long strands, you can choose cones, the diameter of which is only slightly less than the desired volume of curls.
- The weaker the strands, the smaller the diameter of the tapered device should be.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the material from which the device is made.
The handle should be rubberized or have a high-quality and non-slip coating for ease of use. As for the heating cone itself, experienced craftsmen do not advise taking a curling iron with a metal working surface, it greatly damages the hair. In addition, there is a great risk of burning them.
It is better to choose a Teflon, ceramic or glass-ceramic curling iron, since the listed materials are gentle on the hair and do not dry out the curls.
It will be important to find out customer reviews for a particular brand model. Often, sellers in stores are not always honest, so before buying, you should read on the Internet about various models and their characteristics. You can also clarify the necessary information in an ordinary hairdressing salon, in addition, you can also see with your own eyes the necessary model of the device, which will be tested on the spot.
The size of the cone must be matched to the length of the hair. You should go from the opposite: the shorter the curls, the wider the diameter at the cone and vice versa. It is better to buy a curling iron with interchangeable nozzles of different widths, so it is easier to find the right diameter for curls so that they look harmonious and attractive. Do not forget about the complete set itself. It should include the device itself, a protective glove (there are sets where the glove is only for 2 or 3 fingers of the hand), a rug or a special stand for a curling iron, if there is neither one nor the other, then, most likely, there is a special loop on the body itself for hanging.
In the absence of a thermal protective glove, the device must have an insulated tip that does not heat up during operation with the device. The selected model must have a thermostat.
Each woman has a different structure and thickness of hair, so the temperature of exposure to them should also be different. It is advisable to immediately check the operation and speed of heating of the curling iron in the store. A big plus is the presence of the ionization function, which will protect the hair from drying out.
Negative ions neutralize static electricity on strands for a shiny and healthy look.
Pay attention to the power cord as well. It is necessary to check its isolation, as a poor winding can melt and shock during the process of creating a hairstyle. The length of the wire should be at least 1-1.5 meters, otherwise you will have to stand and wind up next to the outlet, which is not very convenient.
A great addition would be a program to automatically disconnect from the mains if it is not used for 30 minutes or more. It so happens that in the process of preparing a hairstyle for an important event in a hurry, you can forget to disconnect the curling iron from the power supply. This can lead to damage to the device itself or even to a fire in the room, so it is better to buy models of cone devices with auto shut-off or a sound signal.
Diameter
The beauty and naturalness of the curled curl will depend on the proportionality of the length of the strands, as well as the diameter of the curling iron. The thicker the device, the larger the curls will turn out. Allocate the following graph paper:
- 10 mm - This is the smallest size for a cone device. Allows you to make finely curled curls.
- 16 mm - this diameter contributes to the creation of small coils closely resembling natural curls.
- 19 mm - basically this width is used to create "retro waves" on the head.
- 25/32 mm - the curls are medium in size, have a "soft" and romantic look.
- 38 mm - thanks to this size, the curl rings are quite large. Thanks to this, a good root volume can be achieved.
- 50 mm / 45 mm - the heating cone is thick and, in fact, waves of large diameter are emitted. Suitable only for long hair, as on short hair it will only be possible to round the ends of the curls.
How to use it correctly?
To get a beautiful hairstyle, it is best to follow the general instructions so that the result is truly outstanding and beautiful. Wash dirty hair with regular shampoo before styling. If your hair is clean, and was washed a day ago, then you should not wash it again. It is better not to dry wet curls with a hairdryer, it is necessary to let them dry on their own, since subsequent procedures will, to some extent, harm the strands.
After the hair is completely dry, it should be combed with high quality, and then divided into 2 parts: upper / lower, so it will be easier and more convenient to make curls.
Next, you need to separate a small strand, about 1 cm in diameter. This thickness is most optimal for obtaining the most natural curls. Do not forget about hair protection products. It can be a special heat protection spray, foam or emulsion. After applying the product, you need to comb the strand again. Then, you need to wind the curl on the triangular cone of the curling iron starting from the wide part of the device so that the tip ends on the narrow part. Thus, the root volume will be obtained.
It is necessary to ensure that the wound curl does not overlap with the previous layer, otherwise the curls will not grip well and will not last long.
It is not necessary to heat the future curl for a long time, 6 - 10 seconds will be enough. Thus, the hair will not dry out, and the result will only be pleasing. After heating, you should not immediately dissolve the curls, you can spray them with hairspray and let them cool. After a few minutes, the curls can be released and combed again with a comb with large teeth. At the end of the process, already curly strands can be lifted at the roots with light movements of the fingers, slightly "whipping" them.
