Root volume is often absent on fine or very heavy hair. To create it, it is recommended to use a corrugated curling iron.

A corrugated curling iron is a device for treating hair with a ribbed or wavy surface. The first electric tool of this type was released in the 60s of the last century and soon became very popular.

The corrugated curling iron can be used:

For creating root volume on fine or very heavy hair.
For creating soft and ribbed waves in hair of various lengths.
For curvaceous tufts and tails.
For creating unusual hairstyles with creases and partial shirring of the strands.

Using a corrugated curling iron is an excellent alternative to perming your hair. The device allows you to create hairstyles at home without special skills in a fairly quick time.

Types of corrugated plyeks

Cons of curling iron-corrugation:

quickly spoils hair, especially if the work surface is made of low-quality material;
not recommended for use on very dry, brittle and damaged hair;
not recommended for daily use;
not recommended for use without thermal hair protection.

Curling iron selection criteria

The presence of a thermostat button. The advantage of the corrugated curling iron is the ability to set the temperature. For damaged hair, it is better to choose less heat, but for heavy and thick hair - 180-220 ° C. Curling irons with a range from 50 to 220 ° C are considered the best.
Device length. For short hair, a small curling iron is suitable, but with long hair it is better to choose the widest possible working surface.
Number of attachments. Ideally, if there are 3 of them, with different volume and shape of curls. If there is only one nozzle, it is better to choose a medium corrugation.
Burn protection. Most of the branded curling pads are equipped with coasters made of heat-resistant material and a special glove for working with hair.
Hanging hook. This accessory is not required, but very convenient for storing the curling iron.
The wire. The length of the wire should not be shorter than 2 m and exceed 3 m. In the first case, this will not be enough for manipulation, in the second, the wire will get tangled and twisted.
The presence of a timer. Only professional models have such a device. The timer helps to solve two problems: it prevents the strands from overheating (you can set the time to create the curl), reminds you of the need to turn off the curling iron during prolonged inactivity.
Availability of additional functions. Modern models are equipped with a hair ionization function. This protects the hair structure from moisture loss, making it shiny and silky.
Coating quality. There are several types of curling iron working cover, which differ in quality, durability and cost.

Coating types:

tourmaline- provides the hair with maximum protection, slowly deteriorates, but corrugation with such a coating has a rather high cost;
ceramic- safe for hair, ceramics are able to "seal" even split ends of the hair and add extra shine to them. But such a coating can quickly deteriorate and requires careful maintenance.
teflon- protects hair from drying out, but is quickly erased. Used for budget models;
metal- stylists do not recommend using metal-coated curling irons. It electrifies and burns the hair. The metal is used to make cheap flat pans.

Rules for using curling iron

Frequent and improper use of corrugation leads to the fact that the hair becomes dry, breaks, loses its shine and begins to fall out a lot.

The possibility of adjusting the temperature will help avoid brittleness, give curls a shine without damaging the hair. The larger the heating range, the better;

When choosing stylers for root volume, you need to pay special attention to what kind of coverage is used. It is very important to what temperature the curling iron can warm up. This is the most difficult selection criterion, because the health of the curls depends on it. Stylers with poor-quality coating, too high heating temperature can harm the hair, make it more brittle and dry. It is best to opt for devices that meet the right ratio of quality and price.

And you also need to think about the question of whether you need a curling iron for root volume, suitable only for adding volume at the base of the curls, or you need a more universal device that allows you to create a hairstyle:

In the first case, a corrugated iron for the root volume with a movable roller is suitable, it has only one meaning and perfectly copes with the task at hand.
And if a woman wants to form a volumetric styling along the entire length of the curls, then it is better to give preference to a corrugated iron.

As for the coating, manufacturers make such curling irons with a heating link from metal, tourmaline or ceramic. The cheapest and low-quality curling irons have a metal coating. This device can harm the curls, spoil their appearance some time after application. This curling iron gives a lasting and quick effect, but at the same time the hair is burnt at the roots.

As a rule, the prices for irons coated with ceramics or tourmaline are much more expensive, but they are practically harmless to the hair, therefore they are more often used in hairdressing and beauty salons.

When purchasing such tools, you need to pay attention to the number of functions of the pins. As a rule, multifunctional models are more convenient to use than conventional ones. It will be very easy for a girl to use a curling iron, on which it is possible to independently set the heating temperature, because it depends on the structure and thickness of the hair. Stylers with different modes are considered very comfortable in this regard. If you do not need to adjust the temperature yourself, then you must select the desired mode.

The volume tongs with ionization function saturate the hair with negatively charged ions, prevent the negative effects of high temperatures. Usually, these are high-end models that can create beautiful and lush styling without unnecessary harm.

All women style their hair differently, some like long and straight hair with a smooth effect, some like playful curls, and some want to achieve root volume. The last task is the most difficult, because the root volume can be given only if the hair is not too stiff and heavy.

Also, root volume is difficult to create even if you have oily scalp. Therefore, you have to cope with this task in different ways - with the help of various foams or styling products, but the most reliable way to achieve root volume is a special curling iron.

What is it and what is it called?

The principle of operation of any curling iron for root volume is as follows: curls are heated from high temperature, thus they rise at the very base, giving a beautiful volume to the hairstyle. Any iron to create root volume gives a rather long effect, the hairstyle remains voluminous until you wash your hair.

Irons for root volume are distinguished by the fact that they have very thin plates that make it easy to grab the strands near the roots. Also, their feature is that they have a specially protective surface, which does not allow scalp scalding during the creation of styling. Since the device works with the base of the hair, it also assumes a gentle coating, eliminating negative consequences for the hair, but this applies only to high-quality models.

A feature of working with such forceps is that they only process the base of the hair along the roots with a thickness of no more than 3 cm.

To create volume at the roots, irons are very often used, which have the function of corrugation. Such a nozzle creates small waves, which are usually made along the entire length, but recently this curling iron is more often used to create root volume. An iron called corrugation is a forceps that have two plates with a voluminous wavy surface. This curling iron heats the strands and allows you to create light waves that add volume to the hair.

The corrugated curler is a versatile device that allows you to achieve the most varied results. You can use it both at the roots, just lifting the hair, and along the entire length of the hair, creating a voluminous and interesting hairstyle. The curling iron is able to create a flirty and elegant look at the same time.

This device also has disadvantages, these include the fact that this iron sometimes has a too high heating temperature, it needs to be adjusted so as not to ruin the hair.

Also, in order to prevent harmful effects, it is necessary to minimize the use of such a curling iron, that is, you cannot always wear such a voluminous hairstyle, otherwise it will harm your hair.

Also, the disadvantage of the tool for root volume is that after you wash your hair, you will again lose the desired magnificent result. Such curling irons do not guarantee a permanent effect, you will have to repeat this procedure every time. Also, some women use curling irons for root volume, not considering that some models are not suitable for this. There are manufacturers who make corrugation only to create styling along the length of the hair, and they should be distinguished from specialized root devices.

How to choose?

When choosing irons for root volume, you need to pay special attention to what kind of coverage they have. It is also very important to what temperature such a curling iron is capable of warming up. This is the main selection criterion, since the health of your hair will directly depend on it. Curling irons with poor-quality coatings and too high a heating temperature can damage any hair and make it drier and more brittle.

It is best to buy appliances that meet the right price-performance ratio. You should also think about whether you need a curling iron for root volume, with which you will only lift the hair at the base, or you need a more versatile device that will allow you to create a hairstyle.

In the first case, a curling iron with a movable roller is more suitable for you, it has only one purpose and perfectly copes with its task, and if you want to make a voluminous hairstyle along the entire length of your hair, you better give preference to a corrugated iron.

As for the coating, manufacturers make such curling irons with a heating element made of metal, ceramics or tourmaline. The most substandard and cheapest curling irons have a conventional metal coating. Such a device can harm the hair and spoil its appearance after some time of its use. It gives a quick and lasting effect, but it burns the hair at the roots. Ceramic and tourmaline coated models are preferred. They are gentle on the hair, can be used much more frequently, and are able to achieve a more natural volume effect at the roots. As a rule, prices for curling irons coated with ceramics or tourmaline are much higher, but they are practically harmless to hair, so they are most often used in beauty salons.

In addition, when purchasing such tools, you should pay attention to the number of functions of this curling iron. Usually, multifunctional models are much more convenient to use than conventional ones. It will also be very easy for you to use a curling iron, on which you can independently set the temperature of its heating, because it should depend on the thickness and structure of your hair. Devices with different modes are very convenient in this regard. Their temperature does not have to be adjusted, it will be enough just to select the desired mode.

The root volume pliers with ionization function saturate the hairs with negatively charged ions and prevent the negative effects of high temperatures. Usually these are professional models who are able to create the perfect lush hairstyle without unnecessary harm to the curls.

How to use it correctly?

Having chosen the necessary curling iron model for the root volume, you can proceed to creating the perfect styling. It is most convenient to do this hairstyle with narrow tongs, as this will speed up the process. After that, you need to choose the temperature of the curling iron - if you have naturally weak and thin hair, you should not set the temperature above 160-180 degrees. Also, this temperature is the most acceptable for light hair, because they are thinner. If you have healthy and strong hair, you can set a temperature of 200-220 degrees, and experts indicate that this temperature will not harm your hair.

After that, you need to prepare your hair for styling, namely, wash it. This is necessary in order for the hairstyle to last longer. In addition, oily hair is very difficult to fit, you will have to spend several hours creating such a voluminous hairstyle. After that, it is necessary to thoroughly dry the strands, since wet hair is much more difficult to style.

Since the root volume curler is heated, it literally boils water on its surface when it comes into contact with damp hair, thereby drying out and damaging the hair. That is why you should never use it on wet hair.

Also, before such styling, it is better for you to use a thermal protective cosmetic or a regenerating balm. This way you can style more often, creating natural root volume without harming your hair. Also, in order for the styling to last as long as possible, you should use foam or mousse. They need to gently process the hair along the roots, gently creasing them. It will not only provide not only durability, but also additional protection for the hair. After that, you need to comb your hair thoroughly, getting rid of lumps and tangles.

In the process of creating such a styling, it is necessary to take strands, starting from the top of the head, and each curl should be very thin - it is better if it is not wider than 2 cm. The strand must be carefully placed between the plates of the tongs so that the hair on them is not tangled. After that, you need to pinch the strand for about 15 seconds, no longer, otherwise you can ruin your hair by drying it out. First, you need to do this work with all the strands of the upper layer of hair, and if this volume is not enough for you, you can select another layer of hair and lift it up as well. The entire hairstyle should not be styled in this way, otherwise it will be overly lush, which will look a little ridiculous.

At the end of styling, be sure to use hairspray, which will consolidate the effect and help maintain the perfect hairstyle. It is best not to comb your hair at the roots throughout the day, so as not to remove volume and ruin the hairstyle. The hair should be combed gently, starting from the ends, without pulling the strands too much. Thus, a hairstyle with an elegant volume at the roots with the help of a corrugated curling iron will be ready.

With the help of a roller curling iron, you can also very easily make a volumetric styling at the roots. To raise the hair at the base, it is important to know how to wind it correctly, because it will not start from the ends, as it happens when creating a regular styling. To add volume with the roller, you need to take one thin strand from the top of the hair and gently wrap it around the surface of the roller, and then clamp it with the other side of the tongs. It will be enough to hold each strand for about 10 seconds to get a beautiful volume at the roots. In this way, only the top layer of the hair is usually lifted. Usually this is enough to create a lush and elegant styling.

Not all representatives of the fair sex are lucky with thick, voluminous hair. Manufacturers of different styling devices offer many options for how you can create volume on absolutely any hair in a few minutes. One of these devices is the corrugated forceps.
