Top 10 Curling Irons

curly hair Choosing the right curling iron is not always an easy task. A bad curling iron can damage your hair, or may simply not be good enough to curl your hair. When choosing an iron curler, there are many things to look for, to get the results you want.

Barrel Size

First, choose the size carefully. Each iron curler size will give you a different style. For example, a 3/4 quarter inch barrel will give you small springy curls. On the other hand, big wavy curls are preferably done with a 2 inches curler. Want natural looking curls? Go for the 1 inch barrel.

Metal vs Ceramic

Second, what type of iron do you prefer? Metal, ceramic, ceramic with tourmaline? Metal barrel irons can cause more damages to your hair than a ceramic iron if you use them on a daily basis. Ceramic with tourmaline are often considered the best irons since they distribute the heat more evenly, but also create more negative ions. Positive ions causes frizz while negative ions will tame down the texture of your hair, giving it a shinier and smoother look.

Temperature Setting

Temperature settings are an important part of curling your hair with an iron. Good hair curlers usually go to temperatures as high as 400F. But you should not set your iron at 400 degrees unless you have a very thick and straight hair or hair hard to curl. When trying your iron curlers for the first time, set them at the lowest temperature ranges, and gradually increase the temperature until you find the range that will give you a good curl. Thin hair or colored hair? Keep your settings at low.

Other great features are an ergonomic handle, a swivel cord and a ready-to-use light indicator.

So now that you know what to look for in a hair curler, we present your the top 10 curling irons that will created those gorgeous curls you are desperately looking for.
