Automatic hair curling iron: a curling iron that makes curls yourself

Pros and cons of automatic curling irons

There are several reasons to take a closer look at automatic curling irons:

• skin burns are almost excluded. In automatic closed-type curling irons, the heating elements are located inside the structure and do not come into contact with the skin. Open curling irons also hardly contribute to burns, because when curling, you don’t need to touch the heated cylinder with your hands, the curl is formed by automatic rotation;
• laying speed increases. Much of the work is done by the curling irons themselves. Users of devices on the Internet note that curling has been halved;
• Automatic curling irons are used by professional craftsmen, this indicates a high level of confidence in such devices.

Curling irons with an automatic curl formation system also have several disadvantages:

• devices with automatic rotation are massive, not all models are suitable for travel;
• There are models with a wide selection of modes. This may seem difficult to the average person. Some people like ease of use;
• automatic curling irons are not suitable for short hair;
• not all models provide curling close to the roots;
• Modern automatic curling irons from world-famous brands cost much more than classic curling irons.

What's happened

The principle of operation of all electrical devices for curls is simple:

• the device is connected to the network;
• the heating element becomes hot;
• wrap a strand of hair around and wait for a while;
• As a result, the hair goes from straight to curled.

Everything looks easy, but when the volume of hair is large, it becomes tedious to manually curl each strand each time. This is where automatic curling irons come to the rescue. Their main advantage is the built-in rotating mechanism.

To create the perfect curl using such a device, simply place a separate strand in the special slot of the automatic curling iron. Then she will do everything herself. The rotating roller will twist the strand. And thanks to heating, it will fix it in the desired shape.

Automatic curling iron care and precautions

The working surfaces of automatic curling irons accumulate styling products and sometimes dust or grease as they are used. They should be cleaned. If you do not keep the device clean, the device will heat up longer and unevenly.

Some curling irons include a bottle for adding water to the steamer and a device for cleaning the heating cylinder

How to clean automatic curling irons:

1. Unplug the device.
2. To clean the case, use wet wipes for monitors or keyboards, do not use water. Most stains can be removed with a dry flannel cloth.
3. For closed structures, use a special tool to clean the heating cylinder. Place the device inside the cylinder and rotate for a few seconds.

   
   It is recommended to clean the curling iron after 2-3 uses.

4. To clean an open curling iron, take a dry cloth. Do not scratch the ceramic coating of the device. Any damage to the ceramics will reduce the quality of the installation.

How to troubleshoot

Each manufacturer has its own rules for returning equipment or repairing it. For example, the warranty period for servicing Babylis automatic curling irons is 3 years. During this time, you will be able to contact a warranty workshop to have the faults fixed free of charge. If you followed the operating instructions, the technician will repair the device, replace the failed device with a new one, or offer to take money.

Find out about the terms of the warranty before you pay for the product.

Do not attempt to repair the curling iron yourself until the warranty period has expired. If you open the case, the workshop may not accept the device for warranty service.

Do not buy used automatic curling irons. You may end up with a counterfeit or damaged product. Choose an online store carefully if you plan to purchase online. Your seller must have an exact address and product certificates. If in doubt, check with the manufacturer to see if the seller is an official distributor of the brand.

The best automatic curling irons of 2018

Among the top sellers are closed and open models from different price segments.

Curling iron BaBylissPRO BAB2665SE

The BAB2665SE model from the famous French brand belongs to the category of professional devices. The full name of the curling iron is BaByliss PRO Miracurl Steamtech BAB2665SE.

Inside the box, the BaByliss PRO Miracurl Steamtech BAB2665SE device is fixed

It is not easy for a beginner to understand its functions, so you need to carefully study the instructions.

The curling iron combines almost all the innovations of recent years:

• The curling iron has a steam function. It performs the same role as a steamer for ironing clothes. Steam helps heat penetrate deep into each hair. The hair cuticle is smoothed, and the curls look shinier and healthier. To generate steam, the design includes a container that needs to be filled with water. The device packaging should contain a special bottle to simplify the procedure. The steaming mode can be turned off;
• users note the low noise level of the BAB2665SE model;
• The device has an auto shutdown mode after 1 hour of operation. There is a sleep function: if the curling iron is not used for more than 20 minutes, the temperature of the cylinder is reduced to 150 degrees;
• ceramic coating protects hair from overheating;
• There are three time options for heating the strands: 8, 10 and 12 seconds. When the time has expired, the timer signal sounds;
• there are three heating modes: 190, 210 and 230 °C;
• the cylinder is fired in two directions. There is an auto-rotation mode: it starts alternately, then to the right, then to the left. This helps create symmetrical curls.

Babylis created this curling iron for professional hairdressers. Therefore, the model has a long service life. For example, the motor for rotation mode runs up to 10 thousand hours.

BaByliss curling iron is sold complete with spare parts

The curls come out magnificent, dense, neat, as if they were curled in a salon. It takes me 40 minutes to completely curl my thick hair. With a regular curling iron, about an hour and a half. But for me, the main thing in this curling iron is not the curling time, but the durability of the curls. The curls made with Babyliss look perfect for me for a day, then they become just beautiful waves.

My biggest problem with regular curling irons was the crumpled end of the curl, which did not want to be pinched nicely with the curling iron. There is nothing like that in this curling iron, the curl is gorgeous from start to finish!

But for me, there is no concern for hair. It ruins your hair, just like regular curling irons. Be sure to use thermal protection!

It’s nice that the hair doesn’t get tangled, and the curling iron itself neatly twists it into itself. If something goes wrong, she will let your hair go.

Curls like a doll's, give you a feeling of celebration! The thinner the curl, the more magnificent and solemn your hair will be. For everyday styling, it is better to do the lightest curls at a gentle temperature.

What does the steam function do? I tested the electric tongs in different modes and I can say that the steam function is a very cool thing that has many advantages. Thanks to the steam, the hair does not dry out and becomes smoother. And the styling process also speeds up, because as soon as the steam evaporates, the curl is ready! The styling actually lasts longer and the curls are clearer than without steam - I tested it myself. I will use this feature every time.

Curling iron "Ladomir A76"

An automatic curling iron from a Russian manufacturer is one of the affordable and easy-to-use devices. Conservative users can be satisfied: these are the same pliers with a clamp, familiar from childhood.

Classic compact design and affordable price are the main advantages of the Ladomir A76 model

All details that require attention are made in bright pink. These are buttons for rotation, temperature selection, and a heating cylinder.

The pink color of the stick is not only an element of an attractive design, but also a shade of the ceramic coating. The tongs have a cold tip to help with the work.

The budget curling iron “Ladomir A76” has all the functions of a professional one:

• three temperature settings;
• power indicator;
• rotation in two directions;
• thermally insulated tip;
• overheat protection.

Among the disadvantages:

• lack of control over the temporary regime;
• Risk of burns due to open design and lack of gloves.

The surface heats up very quickly and has three heating temperatures: 160, 180 and 200 degrees. You don’t need to leave it on your hair for a long time, it curls quickly enough.

The tongs have two additional buttons that rotate the heating panel to the right or left. They are not located in a very convenient place, because when trying to fix a curl, you constantly accidentally press one of them. Which consequently leads to burns. The power cord is quite long and twists around its axis. Overall, the tongs are not bad, but they still have their drawbacks.

Automatic curling irons make curling quick and lasting. If you decide to purchase such a device, decide on the design. The heating temperature, curling time, and price of the device depend on this. It is more common to use open curling irons; the curling process is understandable. But closed designs will provide you with the quality of professional styling. True, the price of these models is much higher.

Consumer Reviews

Most women who use automatic hair curlers from well-known manufacturers leave the most positive reviews about them. The curls really turn out beautiful and even, and they last longer than those curled with a regular curling iron. And this type of styling takes much less time - you don’t have to think about how to twist the strand correctly and how long to hold it.

Remember that even the best curling irons are stressful for your hair. Therefore, you should not use them every day - let your hair rest and recover. Dry, damaged hair is unruly and will not stay in curls for long. It is better to regularly use caring cosmetics and high-quality masks.
