To get a clear idea of ​​what can be found in the catalogs of online stores, Kalista Salon briefly list the most popular names of types and options of tools for hair care.

Curling irons

When it comes to curling irons, they are usually referring to tools designed to create wavy curls. They can have different options for shapes and designs.

Round curling irons are the simplest, as they say, classic version. They are an all-metal round rod with a heater inside. Most often complemented by a special clip that fixes the hair (the most popular option), but there are options without an additional holder. Suitable for both long and short hair. Very easy to handle. The most inexpensive stylers are almost always this or that option of a round curling iron.

Cone curling irons , unlike round ones, are rarely complemented by a clamping device. The diameter of the rod with the heating device gradually decreases from the base to the tip, representing a kind of cone. Their advantage is that you can wind the hair by choosing the diameter yourself, which means you can get the right curl size. Many girls find this form uncomfortable, since handling a cone curling iron requires skill. As practice shows, 3-4 simple waving sessions are enough to acquire the simplest skills. This tool is best suited for medium and long hair.

Spiral curling irons – in all constructive variants are not supplemented by a holder. The main difference from round and conical is that the metal rod is complemented by a spiral relief on which the hair is wound. When curling, locks must be held by hand. Spiral curling irons are ideal for long hair. When curling with such a tool, it is much easier to get even curls of the same size along the entire length.

Curly curling irons are an alternative to round and conical shapes. Most often there are curling irons with an oval shaft. They have no particular advantages, except that the shape of the curl may differ slightly. Triangular curling irons allow you to get curls with sharp edges.

Curling wave – can have a curly rod with a holder that allows you to get a complex curl shape, and can have a design with a double or triple rod. Curling waves with a figured core, in particular, are presented in the Hairway catalog.

Double or triple rod curling irons – designed for curling medium and long hair. With their help, you can create zigzag curls. Tools of this form require some skill.

Curling irons for root volume – they are very similar in shape to corrugation tongs, but in contrast to them are adapted exclusively to create a volume at the roots of the hair (not higher than 3 cm). For this reason, they have thin plates that capture hair, a gentle coating that eliminates the negative effects on the hair, and a protective outer surface that minimizes the risk of skin burns when touched.

Curling irons of all the listed options can be used as the only possible form for the styler or act as nozzles. The design of some tools may be equipped with an axially rotating metal holder.
