Curling iron with brush, crimping iron and more: the special tools at BellAffair
Not all curling irons are the same. These practical hairstyling tools come with many additional functions that offer real added value.
Curling iron with brush
With the BaByliss Pro Ultra Curl 2in1, curls turn out perfectly. In addition to the brush function, various temperature settings, a cool tip and a thumb rest ensure effective curl styling.
Crimping iron
A crimping iron is a popular alternative to a curling iron. It not only creates beautiful, small waves in the hair but also adds volume. Anyone who thinks the crimper was only trendy in the 90s is mistaken. Hair styled with a crimping iron is still very much in fashion today. The Tondeo Cerion Crimp is also equipped with zig-zag plates that create the popular crimp effect. The ceramic plates are spring-mounted, and the temperatures can be adjusted. The auto-off function ensures safety.
Conical curling iron
Remington, BaByliss Pro and Wella also offer conical curling irons, which differ from other devices mainly in the shape of the heating barrel. With conical curling irons, the diameter becomes narrower along the length like a cone. This allows for curls of different sizes, creating a particularly natural look.
Application tips for the curling iron
Which one should I choose? And how do I achieve the desired result? We answer all the most frequently asked questions about the curling iron.
Curls with a curling iron: How do you do it correctly?
Anyone who follows these tips will become a curling-iron pro in no time:
- Before you start wrapping the hair, it is very important that the hair is completely dry and well brushed. If the hair is still damp, it will be severely damaged by the heat.
- It is also recommended to apply a heat protection product. The curling iron should be heated to a maximum of 200°C. Especially for fine hair, 180°C is often enough.
- Before curling, you should think about where the parting should be. The curls created with the curling iron are then twisted outward toward the back of the head. Work is done from bottom to top: Clip up the top section, divide the lower layers into strands and curl them one by one. Each strand is heated for only five to a maximum of eight seconds. After finishing the lower hair, repeat the same steps with the top section.
- For a more natural look, the hair is then gently combed through with the fingers and shaped. Afterwards, fix the style with hairspray. Perfectly styled curls with a curling iron will be ready for your next party.
Beach waves with a curling iron: How does it work?
Prefer casual beach waves instead of elegant curls? A natural beach-wave look is achieved best when you don’t work too precisely. That’s why a conical curling iron is ideal for beach waves. The diameter of the heating barrel should be between 20 and 30 mm.
Important: When wrapping the hair around the curling iron, for perfect beach waves do not start right at the top of the parting, and leave the ends uncurled. This is the only way to achieve the effortless beach style.
To create beach waves naturally in a modern undone look, it is recommended to twist the individual strands in different directions. It should look as if you spent the whole day by the sea.
Curling iron for short hair
To create beautiful curls with a curling iron even in short hair, you should pay attention to the following criteria when buying the device:
- The curling iron should have a small diameter of a maximum of 25 mm. Thin curling irons are better because thick ones cannot create curls in short hair.
- Short hair holds better on the curling iron with a textured coating. Handling short hair is easier with a straight curling iron than with a conical one.
- With a clamp, the hair ends can be fixed, allowing short hair to be styled more precisely. You can read more about how to find the right curling iron for short hair on our blog.
How can I create curls without a curling iron?
How were curls created before the development of the professional curling iron? Exactly: with curlers! Even today, curlers are an easy and gentle method to create waves in straight hair. Here is how they are used:
- Distribute mousse through towel-dried hair
- Roll strand by strand onto the curlers, starting at the top of the head. Warm the hair for at least 10 minutes with a hairdryer or hood dryer, or leave the curlers in overnight
- Carefully remove the curlers
- Fix withhairspray
ou can also create waves overnight by braiding straight hair. Braiding forms even curves, which results in a harmonious overall look. Additionally, this method requires no heat, which protects the hair. If you want large beach waves, it is best to braid a French plait. For crimped hair, you need many small braids.
ifferent styling products for curls and waves improve the texture of the hair and define easy, effortless beach waves on their own. And all without heat styling!
