Safe Usage Of A Curling Iron - Some Tips

By:


Curling irons are one of the great hairstyling aids, which can add curl, body and bend to the hair when used in a proper manner. There are even unusual curling irons that can add zig zags and spirals to your hair. The curling iron's barrel comes in many sizes - large for bouncy curls and small for tight curls.

When you apply a curling iron for styling, the most the most essential thing to keep in mind is that your hair must be dry. This is because; the usage of curling iron on wet hair will result in fried-limp hair. If you are concerned about burning your hair even a little, there are thermal protection products that can aid preventing burnt hair.

To start on, divide hair into 1" to 2" sections and begin from the tip of the hair and roll the iron until it is about an inch from the scalp. It is better to start at the back of the head, if you have medium to long hair. If you have short hair, the best way to curl hair is to start at the crown. If you are bothered about burning yourself, glide a comb in between the curling iron and your scalp.

For about 10 seconds, hold the iron in the hair and then cautiously open the curling iron and release the curl. Keep on repeating this process for the remaining sections of hair that you wish to curl. If your hair is long, you may wish for to pin the curl with a bobby pin against the head ahead of doing the rest of your hair.

Once the curls have cooled, you can make use of a holding spray to position the look and then remove the pins and style the curls using your fingers.
Note: Buying a curling iron with a temperature control on it will assist preventing split ends. If you find yourself using a hair curler daily, ensure that you put in additional conditioning to your hair to prevent heat damage.
