The best curling iron for your hair type
Choosing the right curling iron starts with your hair type. Don't just pay attention to heat settings, it is more important that the temperature suits your hair. Thin and fine hair will need 180°C. This also applies to dyed hair to protect your colour. Normal hair is usually perfect with 200°C and thick or coarse hair needs 220°C for long-lasting curls.
What kind of curls do you want to create?
The diameter of your curling iron determines the type of curl. For large, wavy curls, choose tongs of at least 25 mm. Average curls are created with tongs of 15-24 mm, while compact, voluminous curls are perfect with tongs below 15 mm. This is also ideal for short hair. For natural curls, opt for conical curling irons, which are narrower at the tip and wider at the handle. For a loose beachy look, you can also use a waver.
How often do you use your curling iron?
Do you use a curling iron daily or several times a week? Then choose ceramic or titanium tongs for even heat and less damage. If you use it less often, choose a ceramic coating, but watch out for wear and tear. Never forget a heat protector to protect your hair.
