Which curling iron suits my hair best?

Nowadays you can do so much with a curling iron that it is important to first be clear about a few things. You are dealing with different sizes of curling irons, differences in hair type, and your wishes. We are happy to help you answer these questions so you can order your ideal curling iron and get started with your beautiful locks!

What kind of curls do you want to make with the curling iron?

Do you want to create wavy and large curls in your locks? Then use a thicker curling iron with a diameter of 25 millimeters or larger. These curling irons are also suitable for creating waves. For this, you only roll the ends of your hair around the iron and then comb out the curls. Due to the thickness of the iron, curling irons for large curls are not suitable for short locks.

Like the BabylissPro blue Lightning Airstyler, CHI Onyx Euroshine Krultang, Cera Curling Iron or the Hot Tools Digital Salon Curling Iron. 

A nice curl of average size is made with a curling iron with a diameter of 15 to 24 millimeters. Curling irons with this diameter are also suitable for creating waves but give a less natural result than curling irons for large curls. You use the curling iron of this size for hair from jaw length.

For small curls with lots of volume, use a curling iron with a diameter of 14 millimeters or smaller. The curls are then smaller and sit closer together. After combing out, you create a lot of volume in your locks. Due to the small diameter, curling irons of this size are also suitable for shorter hairstyles. Twist the ends of the shorter locks around the curling iron for a small curl, wave, or volume in your locks.

What hair type do I have and how can I adjust the curling iron accordingly?

Your hair type determines the temperature you use when making a curl or wave.

• For dull or fine locks, a temperature of 180°C is suitable. Thin hair heats up faster and therefore forms the curl more quickly.
• For normal locks, a temperature of 200°C is suitable.
• For thick, coarse locks, a temperature of 220°C is generally suitable. Thick hair heats up less quickly and therefore forms the curl less quickly. In other words, your hair needs more heat to shape into the new form (curl).
• For dyed and damaged locks, a temperature of 180°C is usually suitable to achieve the desired result. However, we advise against using a curling iron or other heat tools on damaged hair. It is better to give your locks time to recover and to hydrate and nourish them well.

What exactly does a ceramic barrel do on the curling iron?

Many curling irons on Haarspullen.nl are made of ceramic. We recommend choosing a straightener made of 100% ceramic or titanium for frequent use. The ceramic barrel ensures that the hair cuticles close properly. This helps preserve the color longer and makes the hair shine beautifully. In addition, many curling irons have a ceramic heater. These heaters produce negative ions, which help retain moisture in the hair. This prevents the hair from drying out and keeps it healthy. Finally, most curling irons have adjustable heat, making them suitable for every hair type.

How do negative ions work with a curling iron?

Your locks naturally contain positive ions, which are a kind of electric charge. These positive ions cause the hair cuticles to open, which leads to frizzy locks. Of course, you absolutely do not want that! The negative ions neutralize the positive ions, causing the hair cuticles to close again. This helps retain moisture longer in your locks, and frizzy hair becomes smoother and shinier. In other words, hello beautiful, shiny, and radiant locks!

Should I use a heat protectant with a curling iron?

When using a straightener, it is important to use protection against heat for your locks. You certainly do not want to fall into the category of damaged locks in a few weeks. At the bottom of the page heat protection you will find more explanation about the different heat protectants. The bestsellers suitable for everyone are the CHI 44 Iron Guard Spray, the 100% vegan Maria Nila Cream Heat Spray, and the Biosilk Silk Therapy Thermal Shield.
