How to choose a multistyler
Device type
Standard with replaceable nozzles. The classic version of the multi-styler is the main body and various styling attachments that connect to the handle body. There can be up to 8 types of them. But more often 2-4 options are offered: straightening, curling, styling with a brush, corrugation.
The disadvantage of individual nozzles is that they need to be completely cooled each time to change during installation. To avoid this, choose models with additional plastic pads on the heating part. Then it will be possible to touch them even when hot.
"All in one". Fancy devices in which all mounts fit at once on one handle. A huge plus - during the styling process, you do not need to waste time changing attachments, and you can alternate modes in a couple of seconds. But you need to get used to such multi-stylers - at first they may seem quite uncomfortable and cumbersome. Especially if they combine not 2 types of stylers, but 3 or 4.
Cover material
Ceramics. The best material for styling tools. It has perfect smoothness, damage resistance. The chance of individual tips getting scratched during storage is minimal. What is especially important is that it takes good care of the curls and warms up evenly.
If you plan to use the multi-styler very often, choose ceramic or tourmaline finishes. They act as gently as possible on the hair and last longer. But aluminum, chrome and Teflon are only suitable for infrequent use.
Tourmaline. Essentially the same ceramic coating, but with an additional top layer of tourmaline - a natural source of negatively charged ions. It is tourmaline multi-stylers that have the famous ionization function, which removes static electricity from hair, smoothes and protects them from the negative effects of high temperatures.
Materials such as aluminum, chrome, Teflon are less popular in multistylers. Each of them, one way or another, causes much more damage to the strands during styling and is not as reliable as ceramics.
Only titanium can boast of excellent characteristics, but due to the high cost of the material, it is not used very often.
Heating power and temperature
Multistylers - rather low-power devices. Some models can consume 170 or even 240 W, but there are only a few of them. And most devices do not rise above 60-80 watts.
The power is also responsible for the heating time. For example, a 170W multistyler heats up to 220 ℃ in 10 seconds, and a 30W multi-styler in 5 minutes. Therefore, if every minute is important to you, do not neglect this indicator.
The most important characteristic in operation is the heating temperature. It is worth choosing it based on the structure of the hair. For loose and thin curls, choose low values - up to 150 ℃, for normal ones - from 150 to 180 ℃. More than 180 ℃ is required for very thick, unruly and curly.
Ideally, if the device can operate in several modes.
Nozzles
Depending on which ones are included, the multistyler can be used for curling, straightening, pleating and other types of hairstyles.
The curler is a standard curling iron that allows you to create curls or curls. The set may include several attachments for curling of different diameters: from 13 to 45 millimeters.
For straightening, replaces a separate hair straightener, making your hair straight and smooth.
It is not only the number of nozzles that is important, but also their size. The larger the area and length of the heating plate, the faster the installation takes place. Petite ones are good for short hairstyles, but those with long and thick hair will take too long to work with.
- Corrugation.Nowadays, corrugation is more often used for lush root volume. It creates a fine wave that lifts the hair.
- Conical is a heating element tapering downwards to create curls. The curls will be larger at the roots than at the bottom of the strands, which will also help create extra volume and make the curls look more natural. The main difference from the classic curling iron is the absence of a hair clip. This means that the tapered nozzle does not wrinkle.
- Spiral nozzle also designed to create curls. The principle of its operation is simple: the strand fits into special grooves, wrapping around the rod.
- Brush attachment not only perfectly detangles the hair, but also gives it the desired shape.For example, slightly twist the ends of the curls or lift the curls at the roots. In terms of functionality, it is similar to a hair dryer-brush, but it does not dry the hair, but only styles it.
The brush can be straight for smoothing strands and rounded for easy curling and volume.
How to use multifunctional hair styling tools
Probably one of the most important rules before use is rinsing the hair.
In no case should the multistyler be used on dirty curls, otherwise you can not only break the device, but also burn the strands. The next actions would be:
- drying hair with a special hair dryer brush;
- after changing the nozzle, you can apply a special mousse to the entire length of the curls;
- wait until the device heats up to the desired temperature;
- dividing the strands with hairpins, wind each curl, holding for no more than 15 seconds (when straightening the hair, you need to walk along the entire length, pausing for 1-2 seconds at the ends);
- if desired, fix the hairstyle with varnish.
