When selecting the diameter of the curling iron, you should take into account the length of your hairdo and the desired curling effect. In order to prevent severe hair damage, you may also select the right heating temperature and duration based on the condition and quality of your hair.
1. Types and diameters of curlers
Curling irons are mainly divided into hot curling irons and cold curling irons. Hot curlers need to be connected to the power supply to heat, and are generally divided into two types: electric rod type and electric clip type; while cold curlers do not need to be heated, and mainly use their shape and structure to curl the hair.
The diameter of the hair curler refers to the radius of the cylinder of the hair curler, and the commonly used diameters are 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, etc. The size of the diameter will affect the curling effect of the curling iron.
2. The relationship between diameter and curling effect
The diameter of the curling iron is closely related to the effect of curling hair. If you want to create natural, voluminous curls, you’ll want to choose a curling iron with a larger diameter. Large diameter curling irons help you create looser, more natural curls while adding volume and texture. And if you want to create tight curls, then you need to choose a curling iron with a smaller diameter.
