Spiral curlers are a novelty in the field of hair care. Spectacular vertical curls made with the help of such devices will be the perfect complement to the solemn image. So, today we will tell you everything about spiral papillotes: types, advantages, how to choose and how to use.

Types

Spiral curlers are made made of soft and hard materials... Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the method of curling on soft curls can differ significantly from curling on hard products. Let's talk about the features of each type in more detail.

Soft spiral curlers are called Magic leverag... Manufacturers claim that they can be used to create spectacular vertical curls without much effort.

Magic Leverag represent spiral ribbonsmade of durable polymer fiber (soft, but resistant to mechanical stress, material). Special cuts are made in the tape, where the strand is placed. The edges of the product are made of silicone, which allows you to securely fix the curl and not damage it. In the photo below, you can see what the original Magic Leverag looks like.

You can buy soft spiral curlers in any specialized boutique or online store. The Magic Leverag kit includes curlers (their number is different in each set) and 2 special plastic hooks. With these hooks, the hair is pulled through the ribbon.

Modern manufacturers make spiral papillotes not only from polymer fiber, but also from solid materials (wood, metal, plastic). Such models are not widely popular, because creating a fashionable hairstyle with their help takes a lot of time and requires considerable effort. Nevertheless, curling hair on wooden, metal or plastic hairpins allows you to create an original unique image.

Such products represent small tubules with spiral incisors. In addition, they are equipped with a special lock for strands - a metal or rubber hair clip. In the photo below you can see what wooden spiral curlers look like.

A significant disadvantage of spiral papillotes made of wood, plastic and metal is that it is very difficult to wind the strands on the back of the head with their help. In addition, wooden spiral curlers with regular use can severely damage hair (reviews of girls confirm this).
