The issue of beauty of hair (and hairstyle, and condition) remains relevant for several centuries. What just the devices curled ladies curls: from the usual linen ribbons (papillotok) to the nail hot on the fire!

At that time, apparently, they came up with the famous proverb that beauty requires sacrifices - such styling really took a lot of time and effort.

Since hair curled with hot metal looked best, this method became extremely popular, but metal improvised tools mercilessly ruined the hair structure, so too often it was not recommended to build “hot” hair.

It was a little easier for fashionistas after the invention of the curling, but she did not guarantee her hair complete safety.

Modern manufacturers of electrical equipment offer various options for tongs and ploets - the choice depends only on your budget and the desire to keep your hair healthy.

Which hair curling wands is better: Surface If for creation of volume on short hair or for angel curls on long surfaces, the electronets play a minor role, then to maintain the structure of each hair, the material of the working surface is very important.

Metal surface Metal tongs are in the lower price segment. The device is budget, accessible to the mass consumer, but losing in quality. Most metal chords “sin” by uneven heating and burn the hair with frequent and even moderate use.

Ceramic surface. Ceramic-coated curling iron wand is a more benign option. Hair when using it looks alive, shiny, the tips do not split. The price of such a device is much higher.

Teflon coating. Teflon prevents the burning of hair as much as possible, but this material tends to wear off quickly, so be prepared for the fact that the curling iron wand will have to be changed periodically.

Tourmaline coating. The most expensive of the beauty tools, but the quality of the curls created with the help of tourmaline compares favorably with the rest. Tourmaline surface produces negative ions that cover the hair scales and retain moisture inside. Thus, during styling the hair does not dry out.

How to choose the best curling wands for hair: diameter The smaller the diameter of the working part of the curling, the finer the curls as a result of laying - this rule is unshakable. Knowing it, you can independently determine the size of your locks and the optimal diameter of the forceps, according to the length of your hair.

From 10 to 50 millimeters - this is the diametral spectrum of all existing types of pleyos.

The most popular are 13, 19, 25 and 32 mm. With their help, you can create beautiful curls of medium size on hair of medium length.

Recently we were lucky enough to be invited to an editorial styling workshop taught by Marco Santini (a top stylist and educator) in NYC to learn how to create some runway-ready looks.

Marco's first look he demonstrated (and then let us all try - photo is Brandi Carra's model) all about creating volume, while still keeping the curls visible (instead of just a big puff). It's soft, and unstructured - an elegant look that didn't end up overly slicked and sprayed like a traditional up-do.

Here's how you can create these big volume curls yourself!

1. Starting from the back, curl hair all over using a 1-inch curling iron like Runway Tools' EasyCurl (see! Brandi's using it right there!)

2. When you get to the curls on the top of your head and around the face, clip those in loops so they can cool in place.

If your hair is really straight and doesn't hold a curl very well, you may want to pin more, like Marco is doing here.

Spray with hairspray or a texturizing spray to set.

4. Once hair has totally cooled, remove clips. Starting at the back of your head and working forward, hold the ringlet from the end and gently begin to tease using a comb or your fingers. That's so you get volume and still the shape of ringlets, instead of just a fuzzy mess. And that's it!
