Hair styling tools play an important role in the life of a woman. Straight smooth locks or voluminous luxurious curls - thanks to curling irons and irons, we instantly change our image and create the most diverse hairstyles. However, hair straighteners / curlers have a bad reputation because of the harmful effects on the hair, especially with frequent use. Fortunately, we live in a time when manufacturers use the most advanced technology to offer us a high-quality product with the most benign properties.

The above does not apply to metal (with the exception of titanium), which was used for the manufacture of the first ployok and irons. It heats up slowly and unevenly, because of which it simply burns the hair and is therefore the most harmful. Metal has long sunk into oblivion

Currently, there are three types of good quality stylers - with ceramic coating, tourmaline and titanium. Let's look at each of them and find out what they are so good and what is the difference between them.

About ionization

Immediately, I note that all three coatings produce negative ions when heated, that is, a negative charge. This is good for hair because when it interacts with chemicals, hot metal and static electricity, damaged hair produces positive ions. At positively charged hair follicles are open, such hair is dry and brittle. Applying negative ions, we neutralize the positive charge, close the hair follicles and make the hair shaft smooth.

Ceramics

It slowly, but evenly warms up, has a smooth surface, thanks to which it slides easily through the hair, does not overheat them, causing less harm compared to metal irons and curtains.

Tourmaline

This semi-precious stone produces the largest number of negative ions, therefore, in the blink of an eye, it gives the desired shape, makes the hair smooth and shiny. Heats up quickly and evenly, has a smooth surface.

Titanium

The most modern material used in the manufacture of irons / ploek. Evenly and faster than all the others heats up, has the smoothest surface. Styler with a titanium coating produces more ions than ceramics, but less than tourmaline, the heating temperature is the highest, so the hair will be more shiny and take on the desired shape in fewer passes.

However, many experts advise not to choose titanium, because the average consumer will find it difficult to control the temperature and, through carelessness, you can simply burn your hair. A titanium straightener will make hair more even than other coated models, but this tool is more suitable for professional use in hairdressing salons.

The best are the stylers made using a combination of the above materials. They provide even higher efficiency ... and this is good, because we all want the best! From all this, it is clear that good quality tools give more than just smooth, shiny hair. They also help to maintain a neutral electric charge, health and beauty of the hair!

Coverage Features

Tourmaline coating is applied to the ceramic. It turns out that in its pure form it is not. It is the dust of crystals that appear with the heating of negative ions, so you can take care of the curls, making them shiny.

Types of irons

With tourmaline coating produced by many companies. Devices differ in functions and properties. In stores you can often find a fixture. It combines ceramic-tourmaline coating with teflon.
