Thus, the longer you heat curl, the more money will be needed to repair damaged hair. Using a powerful curling iron (25 - 50W) reduces the "heating" of hair.

Three "little things", taking care of your hair are the temperature, the length of the cord, rack.

  • The thermostat allows you to minimize the temperature in order to achieve maximum effect. Enough:

for thin hair - 150 C;
