To understand the principle of operation of a steam rectifier, first of all it is necessary to understand what it is, and also how not to confuse it with other styling devices. The steam rectifier has the form of a usual one, but more often the tongs are wider, besides, it is equipped with a special steam generator, but it does not require regular water flooding.

The principle of leveling is that the whole procedure takes place exclusively under the influence of steam, but not the highest temperature. In many ways, this is a big plus, since such a steam iron will be a great solution for everyday use. Such models are very quickly heated, the maximum it can take only 1.5 minutes.

And the device itself from bad water can fail and not serve you for many years. Also the disadvantages include the high cost of steam irons, but this does not stop many buyers, because the price fully justifies a decent quality.

It is always very difficult to understand the female population - if the hair is straight, then it needs to be curled, and if curly, then straighten it. Looking at all this, manufacturers from year to year produce new and more advanced models of chords, rectifiers and other stylers. From this abundance, you can get confused, because the shop windows now and then dazzle with incomprehensible things for the hair. But if you are still interested in steam rectifiers, we recommend to pay attention to some criteria for their selection, which can help not to be mistaken with the purchase:

• Ladies with a fluffy hairstyle is recommended to choose wider tongs, but for girls with not very thick hair, you can prefer medium models.
• The choice between fixed or floating plates remains solely for you. Fixed models are very tightly clamped strands of hair, thereby better aligning them the first time.Floating options will move with the selected strand, but the impact on it will be more gentle.

• Steam rectifiers are of several types - with straight plates that only align the curls and with slightly rounded, allowing you to create light waves.
• Among the huge range of models of rectifiers, you can easily find ready-made sets with different nozzles that can be used to create a variety of hairstyles, even at home.

It is very important to choose your future styler in checked and licensed stores or on official websites, otherwise you risk getting caught in a fake. Steam rectifiers, if they are of high quality, cannot be cheap. In addition, when choosing an ironing in the store, you can compare several models at the same time by holding them in your hands and deciding which one suits you best. Do not forget also that it is best to choose irons with temperature control and the presence of several modes.

When specialists begin to pay attention to the proper use of styling products, women are very skeptical of this, believing that there is nothing complicated about it. However, when using any technique for hair and body, it is very important not to neglect the basic instructions, so that not only everything worked out as it should, but also so that you are not disappointed:

• The steam rectifier should be used only on clean and dry hair, in addition, it will be useful to apply a special thermal protective agent to the hair. The fat released by the hair can easily spoil the ironing plates, with the result that it will be defective or even harmful;
• To smooth the hair without problems, divide them into several sections and fix with clamps. Straightening is best, starting from the occipital region from the lower tier;
• Try not to take very wide strands, so straightening will be more accelerated and effective;
• Try for a very long time not to hold the straightener in any particular area of ​​hair. If the procedure needs to be repeated, let the strands cool.

Of course, many people cannot live a day without using this type of styling device, but many experts recommend not to abuse it. It is advisable not to use the iron more than 2-3 times a week to keep your hair healthy and have time to relax. Although today's devices are made according to the latest technological advances, they still affect the strands and over time they can also be injured.

It is also very important not to forget about the various serums and sprays for thermal protection of curls, they will be very useful before the procedure for straightening hair. If you do not know whether it is possible to straighten wet hair with your iron, then it is best to refer directly to the instructions, since not all models are designed for this.
