TOP 20 best hair flat according to customer reviews

When choosing a curling iron, you need to pay attention to its working functions - curling, straightening, corrugation. Some models are equipped with attachments that expand the capabilities of the device. More expensive curling irons have a regulator of the degree of heating, and some are equipped with a display and a timer. I prepared a rating that included the best models for 2020. The pros and cons are described based on customer reviews.

What to look for when choosing a curling iron?

First of all, pay attention to the manufacturer. This is the basis of all the basics. The more respectable the brand, the longer the device will serve you and the better and better the curling result will be. We strongly recommend that you choose curling irons from companies:

• Rowenta
• Philips
• Bosch
• Braun
• Remington

These brands can be found in almost any large hardware store. And there are also special, professional brands that are sold only by specialized points of sale. The best ones are:

• BaByliss
• Velecta paramount
• Valera

A professional tool, of course, is more expensive, but they are more hardy and will last so long that they get bored! Now let's look at the general parameters of all the pans and highlight what to look for in the store.

• Plate coating - there are regular, steel curling irons, but there are special coatings that prevent your hair from drying out. And this is an important parameter if you often curl. Therefore, it makes sense to choose the most sparing option for hair. The best protective coatings: tourmaline and ceramic. There are also teflon. But teflon is teflon, it has the property of scratching and rubbing over time.
• Temperature adjustment - never use a curling iron that does not have this function. For different types of hair, and for different types of styling, different modes are also needed. A good curling iron is only one where the temperature range is from 50C to 200C.
• Nozzle diameter - in general, before choosing any model in the store, you should go to the hairdresser and experiment with different types of curls. Maybe you don't like big curls at all, but you already buy a curling iron with this diameter. As you know, the thinner the rod, the narrower the spiral, and vice versa.
• Nozzle shape - if we talk about curling irons designed to create a curling curl, then it is best to make them using a cone-shaped nozzle. With her hair looks more natural.
• Nozzle length - the longer your hair, the longer the extension should be. Otherwise, you will have to apply the rest of the hair that does not fit on the spiral on top of the first layer and it will wrap very weakly.
• The presence of a stand on the leg - without this little thing, the curling iron is very difficult to put in the process of curling, it is hot and can damage the surface.
• The presence of a loop for hanging - such curling irons are very easy to store and they will not be damaged by impact if you accidentally put something in a closet.This is especially important for ceramic coated plates, as they are quite fragile.
• Availability of attachments - Do not take a model that has many nozzles. It still costs a couple of times more, and you won't use all of them, it has been checked more than once. It is better to buy a pair of pins with different tips, as they are more reliable and durable. The attachment points of the nozzles are the most vulnerable and eventually break down.
• Cord length - no matter how good the curling iron looks, but if it is equipped with a short cord, do not take it. It is very inconvenient to carry an extension cord with a massive outlet. The cord should be from 2 to 3 meters, this is the most optimal option, since if you take a very long cord, it will get confused.
• Rotation of the cord around its axis Is a very handy feature that should not be neglected.
• Curl Ready Disable Timer - a very convenient thing that will not allow you to gape and inadvertently burn a strand.
• Shutdown timer fire - Such models can be safely abandoned and not worry that a fire can happen in the house.

And now, let's move on to the specifics and consider the existing models of planes and their pluses with minuses.
