Curls add volume to your hair. If you were born with naturally curly hair and want to change it for straight flowing hair, then the flat irons of ceramic, gold, and tourmaline coating will be perfect. The same will help you regain your curls, that too in the desired size and lengths. According to celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa, “Ceramic and tourmaline flat irons are excellent for maintaining hair health while styling, as they distribute heat evenly and reduce frizz.” Read more on how to treat your hair with the flat irons for flawless and bouncy curls. But before you take out your heating devices, look for the heat protectants and shower well with a cleansing shampoo formula and a nourishing conditioner.
For those with thin hair, it’s essential to rely on lower temperature settings to ensure damage-free styling. According to hair expert Dr. Anjali Mahto, “Using high temperatures on thin hair can cause significant damage, leading to breakage and loss of volume. Always opt for lower heat to maintain hair health.” (Source: “Hair Health Insights”)
To achieve smooth and perfectly round curls, select a flatiron that has a round barrel, allowing you to twine the hair around and slide effortlessly, releasing ready-to-go curls. Therefore, to enjoy both straight and curled hairstyles, investing in the ergonomic efficiency of the best flat irons in India is key. A study published in the “Journal of Cosmetic Science” found that flat irons with round barrels are more effective in creating uniform curls compared to those with flat edges.
For bangs and curling short hair, the heating plate length is shorter. This mini-sized gadget works well on short hair than the longer versions of plates for the ones with long hair. Basically, you can have the following curl types with flat irons:
- Waves at the ending portions of your hair length
- Smooth curls from the roots
- Bouncy larger curls
For all these styles, the common steps involve: cleansing and conditioning your hair, pat it dry, rough dry until completely dry, spraying the heat protectant. Then comes the turn of brushes to detangle the hair strands and section them with clips to hold each section together for the flat iron to press and curl them.
- For waves at the end of your hair, straighten your hair by pulling them straight, away from your face, through the plates and when reaching the ends, coil them around the barrel, hold and release. Repeat this with the next section of hair until all are done. Then use a brush to break the curls to fall in continuous waves. Spray the hair setting spray to enjoy your hair while it’s all groovy.
- For smooth curls from the roots, begin with close to the scalp portion of hair first going through the plates and wrapped around the barrel of the flat iron. Let it pass gently and do not use a brush like the previous step to attain the curls, beginning from close to your scalp to the ends, like ringlets. Set this style with a hair setting spray.
- For bouncy, larger curls, choose a flat iron that has a larger round barrel with a clamp to hold the hair, allowing it to attain the heat necessary for serpentine curls. “Selecting the right tool is crucial for achieving those voluminous, long-lasting curls,” says Jessica Shaw, a professional hairstylist at Luxe Hair Lounge. For extra bounce and retention of curls, release the clips holding each section and cup the curls in your palm. Then, straight away, spray in the hair setting spray. All set and done, the bigger curls will sway and bounce without losing their shape, irrespective of your original hair nature.
The curls made by the flat irons shimmer with the heat-induced styles in different grades of waves. A study in the “International Journal of Trichology” highlighted that using heat protectants significantly reduces hair damage when using styling tools, ensuring your curls remain healthy and vibrant.
