Know About the Ceramic Curling Iron

When it comes to achieving sleek, straight hair, a curling iron is one of your most important tools. They are versatile styling tools, and their usefulness extends far beyond fundamental methods for creating waves and curls. If you wish for a stylish straight hair and you don't even have to purchase a straightener, then just take hold of a ceramic curling iron and get to work.

There are a number of reasons why you need a curling iron made of ceramic materials. Metal curling irons can do severe damages, even if you are an experienced stylist. They can burn, singe or cook your hair. In the case of ceramic, they are less damaging to hair. They are one of the best options for keeping hair healthy. Actually, the ceramic plates protect moisture by sealing hair's cuticles. This makes hair soft, shiny and healthy overall. The ceramic also helps smooth cuticle which makes hair look shiny and full of life.

Ceramic tools heat faster and give uniform heat distribution. They hold the heat longer meaning that you have to spend less time for styling. This makes them easier to use, whether you are a professional or a beginner. Just make sure the hair is dry before you start.

Curling irons come in different barrel sizes that allow you to create many different styles. Small barrel - under one inch in size - is perfect for creating tight tendrils and ringlet curls. For creating loose, natural waves for every day styles, medium barrels - one or one and a half inch in size - are the best option. Large barrels - larger than 1 1/2 inches - are great for long hair and creating a smooth and sleek style.

When handled properly, a ceramic curling iron should last much longer than a metal one. But before purchasing, ensure that you are buying a really ceramic barrel, rather than a metal barrel with one or two ceramic layer over it. Usually ceramic curlers are more expensive, but they are absolutely worth the higher price.
