There are no strict rules, there are only recommendations, following which it is easy to make playful curls for the beach and shine on the triumph with Hollywood waves.
What it is?
Hair curlers are a hairdressing device by which hair is shaped into curls of different diameters. Depending on the size of the curlers and the material from which they are made, the result is different curls from springs to large waves.
As you know, curlers are not the only means for curling hair. There are various curling, stylers, round combs, nozzles for hair dryers and other gadgets. However, most fans of wavy hair prefer the traditional method, which was known to our grandmothers. There are several reasons for this:
- Hair curlers - the most gentle means for styling hair. It is impossible to call them absolutely harmless, because thermal and electric curlers also heat the surface of the hair, reducing its resistance to damage, and wet curls are more fragile than dry ones, but even the most complicated styling on curlers does not affect hair as destructively as high temperatures.
- A large number of species for very different results. With the help of curlers or their improvised counterparts, straight and slightly wavy hair acquire a new form: mischievous curls, sexy “beach curls”, romantic curls,
- Natural hair. Difference from curlers curlers that they do not give such a "hard" effect. Curls look softer, more natural, lie more freely, as if nature made them, rather than styling,
- Comfortable anywhere. Hair dryers and stylers require electricity, occupy a lot of space in a travel case, but it is convenient to take hair curlers with you in a small cosmetic bag and use it at any time on vacation or on a business trip,
- Save time on fees. It is difficult to devote a lot of time to training in the morning, so soft hair curlers that can be turned on at night help out. All you need to do in the morning is to remove them and gently beat the curls with your hands to separate them and give a natural look. You can also wind the curlers a few hours before the publication, while the curls are formed, do other things,
- Affordable price. Professional tools can be expensive, but you can experiment with your hair at first for a ridiculous amount. The minimum cost of packing curlers is less than 100 rubles,
- For hair of any type. Thin, over-dried, damaged and children's hair is contraindicated for aggressive exposure to high temperatures. Curlers are the best solution for ladies who protect their curls and for little princesses,
- Noticeable result. Even if only large waves were planned, the difference between before (straight hair) and after will be obvious within a few hours.
Cylindrical
The first thing that comes to mind when the word "curlers" - it is plastic or iron cylinders with holes and removable caps. Plastic cap-lock does not allow the curl to disintegrate, while the hair, twisted on curlers, dry and take the desired shape. Holes inside the cylinder let the air through, drying the strand from all sides. On cylinder-shaped curlers, it is difficult to create elastic, strong curls, but for light curls this is the best option.
The tighter the strand from which the curl is formed, the more difficult it is to fix it all with a cap.
Spiral curlers

People reviews
Usually I have always used boomerangs for laying, as they are very convenient if you wind them up for the night. But one day, being with relatives, I decided to try bobbins. Not only was it awkward to sleep with them, so I did not like the end result. I had to wash my hair in the morning and go with straight hair.
I have long hair, for a long time I could not choose which curlers are better. As a result, stopped at the Velcro. With them, I get large curls, just the kind that I need. Of course, you can’t wear them for the night, but I don’t need it. I blow-dry my hair in the morning.
A birthday friend gave me velor curlers. I immediately tested them. I really liked the effect. I was spinning using the foam, so beautiful curls pleased me for a long time. And if you want to wind up for the night, I use boomerangs to make it more comfortable to sleep.

Foam rollers
This type of devices has advantages over the others only in that they are ideally suited for night styling, as they do not cause discomfort. However, you need to sleep with them very carefully, because in the lying position, foam rollers can take an unexpected shape. The soft structure also negates the negative effect on the hair. However, they may not always be useful as curlers for large curls.
If the foam rollers do not attract you with their appearance, try the analogue - boomerangs. They are stronger due to the wire located inside, and therefore they are better fixed.
Electric
This is a worthy analogue to all familiar hair rollers, but with one difference: electric curlers do not need to be boiled. They are much easier to operate than the usual hair rollers: no longer need to get them out of the hot water and be afraid that they cool off.
Electric curlers have a noticeable plus: high speed of creating curls. They heat up within 3-5 minutes, and elastic curls turn out in 10-15.
Therefore, even if there is half an hour left before the start of any holiday or solemn exit, you are still at your best. These devices are certainly more harmful than velcro curlers, but do not have a large number of contraindications.
The material from which electric curlers are made varies. For example, the aluminum version will be cheaper, but it has a very negative effect on the hair.
It is better then to use foam wraps. And if you buy products from ceramics and Teflon, the attitude to curls will be more careful. Moreover, there are ceramic curlers covered with velours. Such a view can be a worthy contender for curlers golden curls.
To date, electric curlers are available in the production of almost every company whose profile is hair styling tools. If desired, you can choose curlers for large curls with a similar principle of operation.
The best manufacturers of curlers - which company to choose
There are more than a dozen of different types of curlers, and among the manufacturers in each niche has its own leaders. For example, excellent electric curlers for fast curling are produced by companies:
Curlers for cold curling (plastic, foam, etc.) generally release all and sundry. But if you want them to serve for a long time, it is better to turn to products of proven companies that produce professional styling rulers as well.
We have the most widely represented brands:
Types of curlers
These are the simplest hair curlers designed for cold curling wet hair. As a rule, they are small or medium in diameter up to 2.5-3 cm. They are made of plastic, wood, PVC or thin aluminum, and for fixing the strands use different clips or just elastic bands.
Pros:
- By themselves do not harm the hair,
- They allow you to get small and well-structured curls - on thin cylinders you can even achieve the effect of "chemistry"
- Cost inexpensive.
Minuses:
- Because of the small diameter and length of the bobbins, the perm takes a lot of time,
- Clamps leave on the curls characteristic creases.
Papilotki (boomerangs)
Convenient to use flexible curlers in the form of a bending rod in a dense foam rubber sheeting on the hair without any clips. They are soft enough to sleep on, and in the morning to get completely natural curls. "Boomerangs" are used to curl strands of medium or long length.
Pros:
- Ease of use
- The lack of obvious creases on the hair,
- Almost do not interfere with sleep
- Do not spoil the hair.
Minuses:
- On dense files without internal holes, the curls dry for a very long time,
- Strands at the base can take on an irregular shape.
- Short hair cheat on "boomerangs" will not work.
Velcro or "hedgehogs"
These curlers are designed for styling short haircuts. They are large plastic cylinders wrapped with textile velcro (as on Velcro tape). Tiny hooks cling tightly to the hair, not allowing the curlers to fall off the head, so they do not need clamps.
Pros:
- It is very easy to twist strands on “hedgehogs”,

Velvet hair curlers (Magic Leverage)
A relatively new type of curler is especially popular today. They are flexible tubular ribbons of different lengths, twisted into a spiral.
The strands are tucked inside with a special wand with a hook at the end, after which the Magic Leverage rolls themselves in serpentine, fixing the hair and giving the curls the desired shape.
Pros:
- Gentle effect on hair

Minuses:

- Bad hold on short hair,
- Do not give volume at the roots,
- The price is too high.
Electric rollers
These are the same hair rollers, only heating up in a special container, and ready to use in a few minutes. With their help, you can create a fairly stable styling, although the heat still harms the hair.
Manufacturers of such devices do their best to neutralize their negative impact on curls, offering curlers with a ceramic, teflon or velvet coating.
Pros:
- Convenient to use,
- Heat up quickly
- Suitable for styling hairstyles of different lengths,
- Give persistent curls,
- To the hair took the desired shape, just look like a curler for 10-20 minutes,
- There are models with non-heating ends, for which you can safely take, without fear of getting burned.
Minuses:
- Requires the use of clamps that can leave creases,
- Are more expensive than other types of curlers.
Hair condition
First of all, you need to focus on the structure and health of your hair. The type of curlers that can be used for curling depends on it.If there are no problems with native strands, they are strong and “live”, feel free to take electric rollers, velcro or ordinary cylinders with clips to do a quick styling using a hair dryer.
Owners of weak and brittle hair who have experienced more than one coloring or even discoloration will have to limit their choice to cold styling products: “boomerangs” or velvet curlers. With a short and medium length haircut (up to 30 cm), you can venture to buy “hedgehogs”.
Here a lot depends on the desired size and shape of curls. If you want to get big waves or a good amount of hair, curlers should be very large. And in order to make the hair curly with a “small demon”, you need to take thin bobbins or boomerangs.
The length of the haircut also affects the choice of diameter curlers. For short and medium hair it is better to use cylinders of small size (up to 25 mm). They will give the correct and persistent curls. However, it is more convenient to add a volume to a bob or a square just with large curlers - about 70-80 mm in diameter.
Long hair, it would seem, does not impose such restrictions on the choice, but there may be problems with curling on small papilotki. It will be possible to twist up to the roots only very thin strands, and it will take a lot of effort, time and curlers themselves.
Manufacturing materials
The health of the hair and the result of the curl depends on the material from which the surface of the curler is made.
If you choose among ordinary cylinders and bobbins, the options may be as follows:
Plastic is a hygienic material that is easy to care for. Such curlers do not provide for heating, which is why they are considered the most benign, but it is not necessary to count on the resistance of the wave when using them.
Also not intended for hot curling. In addition, thin tubes can take a long time to lay. But curls on such curlers are quite interesting shape.
Even softer than rubber and perfectly suitable for those who, in the name of beauty, are ready to sleep with them on their heads all night. Alas, the next morning, the resulting curls may not please - in some places bends or curls will have an unequal shape due to the fact that the foam pads were pressed during sleep. The curlers themselves, too, will not last long - break or begin to crumble after a few months of use.
The case when the environmentally friendly material more harm than good. The problem is that wooden curlers are short-lived, and besides, they quickly accumulate dirt. After several uses, they simply have to be thrown away.
The best material for curlers not to think. The ceramics heats up for a long time, but it does not cool down immediately, slowly and evenly giving away its heat to the hair. As a result, the styling is quite stable, and the curls do not experience thermal shock and retain their beauty longer.
These curlers can be used hot to quickly make a perm even on dry hair. But here the type of coating plays an important role - purely metallic cylinders heat up unevenly, which is why the styling is not ideal, and the hair itself is electrified and split. But protective spraying eliminates these shortcomings and protect curls during curling.
The coating of electric rollers can be:
The first option is considered the best - we actually get all the properties of a ceramic cylinder on a metal base. Yes, the heat capacity of such curlers will be lower than full-bodied ceramics, but they will also heat up faster.
Teflon coating has non-stick properties and does not burn through hair like an open metal. However, it is short-lived and may fade over time, which means it will no longer be as effective.
A good option is considered velor coating - it does not hurt the hair at all, but its service life is approximately comparable to that of teflon.
Additional functions (for electric rollers)
If you decide to buy electric curlers, pay attention to their additional features. It is desirable that the list of functions present:
1. Thermostat - with it you can set the desired heating temperature in accordance with the type of hair, so as not to burn too weak strands.
2. Ionization - partially neutralizes the effect of high temperature on curls, removes static electricity, makes curls elastic and shiny.
3. The indicator of heating - will inform that the curlers are ready to work, saving you a lot of time.
The electrical box should also have at least basic protection that turns off the device when overheated.
What kind of curlers to choose
1. To curl curls with small spirals, as after chemistry, they need to be screwed onto wooden, plastic or rubber bobbins no thicker than 1 cm in diameter. For such styling curlers will need a lot (especially if you have thick and long hair), so buying one package is not enough.
2. For those who have every minute counts every minute, fit hair curlers. If the hair is weak or brittle, it is better to take an electric model with a heat regulator and a mandatory non-stick coating of the cylinders. Everyone else can try to save money and buy the usual curlers "for boiling."
3. Lovers sleep a little longer fit papilotki-boomerangs or velvet curlers. Wind the hair on them in the evening, and in the morning just take them off your head - and you will get beautiful, persistent curls.
4. Do I need to tighten a thick bang or give volume to a short hairstyle? Take plastic "hedgehogs" with a diameter of 5-8 cm. To speed up the curl, wet strands can be dried directly on them with a hair dryer.
5. If you have thin hair, try to avoid too hard hair rollers and grip on them. Also, do not buy cylinders of small diameter. Too small perm, though it gives a sparse head of hair a rich look, leads to the fact that hair is simply torn when combing.
Choose "boomerangs" or foam products with a diameter of at least 2-2.5 cm or use electric rollers with velor coating.
