Tourmaline coated curling irons
The modern technology market offers a wide variety of hair care products. One of the favorite devices for many girls was the curling irons, which allow not only to straighten hair, but also to give them volume, twist the ends and curl the curls. Curling irons and irons from various brands lie on store shelves, each model is good in its own way and has its own characteristics and advantages. Since any hair needs special care, the curling should be chosen with care. Today, many of the fair sex choose tourmaline coated curling iron.
Features and benefits
The coating of the straightening plates on the forceps is one of the main parameters that affect not only the quality of the installation, but also the level of damage caused by the hot surface. The most common are teflon, metal, ceramic, marble and tourmaline coatings.. It is worth highlighting the latter.
It should be noted that tourmaline is not used in the technique as an independent material. As a rule, it is applied over a ceramic coating to further neutralize and protect hair from hot temperatures. When compared with ordinary ceramics, it can be noted that Such a surface has a much better effect on the strand structure. It closes the hair scales, thus giving the curls an even smoother and more brilliant look.
When heated, the mineral independently releases negative ions, which provide a healing effect and smooth the strands, preventing them from electrifying. After completing the process, you will get the perfect styling - without flying hairs.
It should be noted, and the fact that curtains with such a coating heat up much faster. If ceramics has a heating time of about 30 seconds, then tourmaline reaches the desired temperature for 15-20. This mineral is much safer than all other coatings, it carefully affects the strands and does not break them, and also prevents the appearance of split ends. Another advantage of tourmaline coating on the forceps is the long-term operation, such devices will last you more than one year and fully pay for themselves.
Since these devices are attributed more to professional than to amateur, then they have the appropriate price. Find a technique with tourmaline will be easier in specialized stores selling professional products for hairdressers. In ordinary hardware stores you can often find curling irons with a ceramic surface.
