Multi-styler for hair: selection rules and rating of the best models

How wonderful it is that the technical process does not stand still, and hair styling products can also evolve! Otherwise, we would still be using wooden sticks, bronze rods and paper curlers, which were used by beauties in previous centuries. But now all this - and at the same time outdated curlers, irons and curling irons - has been replaced by an amazingly functional, compact and easy-to-use device called a multi-styler. There is no styling that he cannot cope with.

Hair styler: principle of operation

The operating principle of any styler, regardless of the number of its functions, is simple. Hidden in the handle of the device is a heating element that is powered by mains power or, less commonly, batteries, and by imparting an elevated temperature to metal, ceramic, or coated panels, allowing them to straighten, curl, and style hair as they please. The flight of fancy of the owner of this useful device is limited only by the number of attachments included in the kit. The more of them, the more versatile the machine will be at your disposal. In addition, the styler is able to take on the functions of a hair dryer, blowing hot air over the strands during styling or cold air to fix the styled curls and maintain the health of the hair.

In short, by purchasing such a device you are purchasing a miniature beauty salon with which you can create hairstyles of any degree of complexity. Enough practice and... a competent approach to choosing a multi-styler.

Multistyler rating

The choice of a multi-styler for hair depends primarily on the tasks that will be assigned to it. So for traveling you need the most compact model, and for home use you need an option with more functions. When reviewing offers from hair device manufacturers, the technical characteristics of popular models, user reviews, reviews and opinions of professional stylists were studied. When comparing products and adding them to the TOP of the best, the following criteria were taken into account:

• Number of styling options;
• Ease of use;
• Safe for different hair types;
• Assembly reliability;
• Quality of materials;
• Compactness;
• Richness of equipment;
• Value for money and functionality.

We also looked at the availability of equipment in most stores and the popularity of the models among customers. A review of the best multi-stylers in each price segment will help you make a choice based on your purchase budget.

Types of stylers

In order for your purchase to serve faithfully for many years, you need to clearly understand what you want to get: a specialized, universal or automatic styler?

Specialized devices do not pamper their owners with a large selection of attachments, and sometimes do not have them at all, performing only a couple of functions. An example of this category of styler is an electric comb that can smooth, lightly curl hair and create root volume during styling, while simultaneously providing a scalp massage.

Specialized stylers have a limited number of functions, but they perform them perfectly

Universal machines for home use have several attachments for creating different shapes of curls and many additional functions:

• ionization;
• thermoregulation;
• steam generator;
• infrared radiation;
• Automatic shutdown function in case of overheating.

Universal stylers are extremely convenient and functional, but before you make a choice in favor of a device that has a maximum of all kinds of bells and whistles, you should think carefully about whether this is what you need. Experience shows that in half the cases, most of the attachments gather dust without use, and additional functions remain unclaimed. So, if you are not in the habit of changing your look three times a week, you can get by with a simpler set with 2-3 basic attachments.

Moreover, it makes no sense to look for a professional styler in stores. Yes, such models are distinguished by an impressive battery of attachments, increased attention that the manufacturer pays to reliability, ergonomics and build quality, as well as higher power. But despite all the advantages, it is unwise to overpay for a professional device if it is intended to be used at home, since it is designed for completely different loads.

Professional stylers are often too bulky

But you should definitely think about buying an automatic styler. Its main feature is the heating plates hidden inside the case, with which you do not have to come into direct contact during operation, which means that the risk of accidentally getting burned will go to zero. The styler automatically grabs the desired strand and pulls it inside, where it affects the hair with high temperature, the degree of which is determined by the set mode. As soon as the time required for curling has passed, a sound signal is heard, so you are unlikely to be able to dry out the strand. Especially if you take into account the ceramic coating of the plates and the function of blowing strands with cold air, which the automatic device has.

Types and purpose of nozzles

Different models of multi-stylers have many attachments. On average, one device is equipped with 3-5 different ones, but some models may include a set of 7-9 attachments.

The most common:

• Curling iron. The attachment is a conical or cylindrical curling iron with a clamp. The diameter of the curling iron can be different - from 10 to 32 mm. Depending on the diameter of the nozzle, it helps to create waves - beach or Hollywood waves, small curls;

• Rectifier - two flat plates. Hair straightening attachment, similar to a straightening iron;

• Corrugations are corrugated plates that create small, frequent waves on the hair. Previously, corrugations were actively used along the entire length, creating voluminous hairstyles, but now the nozzle is more often used to add root volume;

• Brushing – a round brush for voluminous styling and lifting hair at the roots;

• Spiral curling attachment . It is a spiral in which a strand of hair is placed into the grooves. You get beautiful, elastic, but natural curls;

• A double curling iron is an attachment consisting of two or three separate cylinders. This attachment is suitable for different types of styling - beach curls, pronounced waves;

• Square curling iron – has an angular shape and helps to style hair into broken curls;

• A brush is an attachment that looks like a regular comb, used for drying hair and straightening it. This attachment is only relevant for multi-stylers based on a hair dryer;

• The concentrator is the same as the brush and is used only on multi-styler hair dryers. Designed for drying hair.

All of the listed attachments in one device can be in several copies. For example, two types of corrugated plates of different sizes or 2-3 different curling irons - conical, cylindrical and double.

The best curling irons and curling irons for hair

Criterias of choice

Deciding what type of styler you need is not enough. You also need to be able to at least superficially understand its characteristics in order to provide your hair with not only lasting styling, but also careful care.

Thermoregulation and power

As you know, the main danger of curling irons, straightening irons and similar units is high temperature and its destructive effect on the hair structure. The thermoregulation function can significantly reduce risks, allowing each woman to set the temperature that optimally suits her hair:

• delicate 100–120° for fine, light and dry hair;
• moderate 150–180° for normal;
• extreme 200, or even 220° for hard, thick, unruly strands and special cases.

The maximum temperature that the device is capable of producing and the speed at which it reaches the desired degree of heating is determined by the power of the styler. They are usually divided into two types:

• models up to 0.1 kW, suitable for creating simple hairstyles on thin, brittle or dyed hair - in short, requiring especially careful treatment;
• models with a power of up to 1.5 kW, which conquer the most stubborn curls and the most elaborate hairstyles. True, their use is only permissible if you have healthy hair that is not weakened by coloring or bleaching.

Modern models have a wide range of temperature conditions

Nozzle coating

Standard metal plates, which were previously universally present in all hair curling devices without exception and mercilessly destroyed the health of the hair, are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Today they are no longer quoted, since the views of manufacturers - and after them consumers - have turned to more profitable materials:

• Teflon, which significantly reduces the damage caused to curls by styling, but has a short service life (sometimes after a year it wears out so much that it requires replacing the styler);
• titanium, which is quite gentle on hair, can withstand the passage of time and accidental falls on the floor for a long time, but has one serious drawback - high cost;
• ceramics or glass ceramics are an ideal choice for maintaining healthy hair, but are not very practical due to their fragility.

The best choice is considered to be ceramic plates with a tourmaline coating, which ensures smooth sliding of strands through the blades of the styler, relieving static tension and having a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair. Sometimes the manufacturer additionally impregnates them with keratin for greater benefits.

Iron styler plates are a thing of the past. Nowadays tourmaline and ceramics are in use

Ionization

This useful feature means that every time you use the styler, your curls will be exposed to negatively charged ions, due to which you will get rid of dryness and static electricity, but will gain increased smoothness, silkiness and a healthy shine.

Some stylers are also equipped with infrared radiation and ultrasound. The first ensures the fastest and safest penetration of heat waves into the depths of the hair and gives the curls a healthier appearance, while the second polishes them, sealing the raised scales.

A stream of negative ions transforms hair

Power type

If you plan to use your little assistant exclusively at home, choose a wired device; this will save you from fiddling with batteries and the need to regularly replenish their supply. Just make sure first:

• that the length of the cord is enough to freely perform any necessary manipulations with the styler in front of the mirror (not being able to move away from the outlet is a dubious pleasure);
• that the cord has a hinged fastening. This will protect it from creases and twisting.

A battery-powered device is more suitable for light-footed travelers. Firstly, such models are usually more compact and can easily fit in a suitcase. Secondly, you won’t find yourself in the unpleasant situation of finding out that the hotel outlet is not suitable for your styler and you don’t have an adapter at hand.

Work surface size

This criterion depends entirely on the length and thickness of your hair.

Narrow plates up to 3 cm wide can handle a short haircut without any problems. Larger ones simply don’t have enough space to run wild on your hair, so the most you can do with them is straighten your hair with an iron.

But it’s difficult to manage shoulder-length hair armed with a styler with narrow 3-centimeter plates. At a minimum, it will take you twice as long, so it’s better to look for a device with a working surface of at least 4–5 cm.

For long and thick hair, the optimal solution is wide plates up to 9 cm.

A wide styler is suitable for long hair and large curls, a narrow styler is suitable for short haircuts and small curls.

Control

The styler control can be mechanical or electronic. Mechanical models are equipped with a scale with a limited number of temperature options and a manual switch: button, slider or toggle switch. Electronic stylers have sensors that allow you to set any desired temperature, down to a degree.

Steam function

If conventional styling devices dry out hair, a styler with a steam generator, on the contrary, moisturizes it by spraying microparticles of water onto the curls before passing the strand through the iron. As a result, even naturally curly curls turn out to be almost perfectly smooth and hold their “given shape” for a long time, but are less damaged.

In addition, you can pour hair care product into a water container and spray it onto your strands. The high temperature of the steam will force the hair scales to open and healing substances will penetrate deeper into its structure.

How to choose a multistyler

• Heating type . It’s up to you to decide whether to choose an air styler or a platform styler, and the choice should be made based on what styling devices the multi-styler should replace. If the task is to combine both a hair dryer and attachments for different types of styling in one device, then the option is obvious - an air multi-styler. But keep in mind that the heating of the nozzles of such a device is worse. If you need to combine a curling iron, corrugation and straightener, take a closer look at stylers with heating element;
• Nozzle coating . Give preference to attachments with ceramic or tourmaline coating - these materials are less damaging to the hair and also ensure smooth gliding through the strands;
• Equipment. Don’t chase the number of attachments and choose a device with the configuration that you specifically need. There is no point in overpaying for, say, 8 attachments if you will only actively use 3-4;

Publication from Marina Ivanushchenko (@skaskivmarina)

• Additional functions . For air multi-stylers, this can be a cold blowing function - it helps to quickly cool the strand and, thereby, fix the styling. For platform models with heating element – ​​ionization – removes static electricity and adds shine;
• Thermostat. For models based on a hair dryer, the thermostat is not so relevant - at most, there will be three air temperatures - warm, hot and cold. But models with heating elements are sometimes equipped with a temperature regulator. The thermostat helps set the temperature that suits your specific hair type to minimize damage. If there is no thermostat, make sure that the device has limited heating, say up to 180-200 degrees - this will allow it not to overheat and burn your hair;
• Power cord length. The optimal option is 2 meters, but most often household appliances have a cable of 1.8 meters, which is also acceptable. If the length is shorter, you will have to stand next to the socket in order to reach the hair along the entire perimeter of your head with the device - this is not convenient.

Styler attachments

It’s a rare woman who agrees to be frozen in one image for many years. The desire to experiment and regularly transform our appearance is in our blood! And styler manufacturers understand this perfectly well, supplying their products with sets of assorted attachments with which you can model your hair depending on your mood and plans for the evening. Smooth fabric, large curls, seductive waves? Easily!

The more attachments, the wider the scope for imagination

Spiral

Using this screw-tight attachment, you can create tight, well-defined spiral curls that maintain their desired shape for a long time. True, it has two disadvantages: curled curls seem too deliberate to some and therefore unnatural, and in addition, they significantly hide the length of the hair. If your hair barely reaches your shoulders, the result of using a spiral attachment may be disappointing.

There are different types of spiral nozzles

Straightening iron

A flat iron attachment made of two wide plates will help you stretch out curly hair or give straight hair a more perfect “glamorous” look. A few minutes and flawless styling is ready.

For deliciously straight curls, use the sleek, wide brush head.

Straightening brush

Unlike the plates of an iron, which transform strands into a perfectly smooth, glossy canvas, a brush helps achieve a more natural result. Its stiff, straight bristles catch and stretch curls, while the styler's heating element does its job, drying the hair and securing the result.

A good styler will have attachments for every occasion.

For detangling hair

Laying is a delicate matter, and no one is immune from failures. For this case, as well as for those with wayward curls that are resistant to a regular round brush, there is a hair detangler that partially functions as a straightener. If the styler, among other things, is equipped with an ionizer or steam generator, the result will be amazing.

Hairstyle will be hair to hair

To create volume at the roots

Every woman who is passionate about styling has many ways to make her hair more voluminous: for example, use a corrugated attachment, moving it as close to the roots as possible, or use a round attachment that resembles a brush. Or you can turn to a special attachment to create volume at the roots and enjoy an excellent result.

A corrugated brush, a brush or a special attachment can handle the volume.

For corrugation

If the iron has smooth plates, then the corrugated attachment has a ribbed surface, on which the strands are beautifully “wrapped” and remain that way all day. It looks very festive and interesting. Often, the styler comes with 2-3 corrugated attachments, which have different textures for large, small, pronounced or smoothed waves.

Corrugated attachments can be very diverse

Nozzle for horizontal and vertical curls

Typically, these attachments resemble a standard hair curling iron and differ only in diameter: wide for soft curls, narrow for small curls. Sometimes there are cone attachments that allow you to get uneven curls that add naturalness to your hairstyle. Moreover, the cone can taper both towards the end of the nozzle and towards its base, allowing the housewife to choose where to make larger curls: at the roots of the hair or at the ends. In order for the strand to form a horizontal curl, the styler is held parallel to the floor, and for vertical curls it is turned perpendicular. Or take a spiral nozzle.

Depending on the size and shape of the nozzle, the result also changes.

The presence of a clamp is an additional plus. With it, you won't have to hold each strand with your hand, which means there will be less chance of getting burned.

Bristle brush

Bristle brushes are a different story. Not even a song, but a poem, an ode to healthy hair. They are gentle on the hair, do not tear or break it, add a natural “gloss” to the strands, help reduce split ends, and do not scratch the skin. On the other hand, bristle brushes are less durable, can add a significant premium to the price of the entire device, and cause the hair to become more electrified. This may be why manufacturers often prefer to produce models in which artificial nylon bristles are combined with natural pig or boar bristles.

Bristle brushes smooth, curl and create volume much better than synthetic ones, but are not durable

Attachments with retractable bristles are very convenient, which make it possible to first carefully wind a strand of hair onto a round brush, and then remove coarse hairs in one motion and allow the finished curl to slide freely from the base.

Often, in addition to various attachments and brushes, the device comes with clips, which are convenient to use when creating complex hairstyles.

Why do you need a multistyler?

Girls like the multistyler for its versatility. It is characterized by a number of advantages:

• special coating ensures gentle treatment of curls;
• By changing attachments, you can create different types of hairstyles;
• The device is suitable for any hair type;
• the device allows you to create various hairstyles: retro, horizontal and vertical curls, beach waves;
• saves costs on stylist services.

Some brands offer the opportunity to purchase an additional kit.

The difference between a styler and other hair styling devices

Is there a fundamental difference between a styler, straightening iron, tongs, curling iron and other devices for creating hairstyles? There is, although recently the line between these concepts, already not very clearly defined, has begun to blur. Roughly speaking, both a curling iron and a flat iron can also be called a highly specialized styler; there won’t be a big mistake in that. But traditionally, this word, and even more so if the prefix “multi” is attached to it, is understood as a multifunctional device capable of solving at least two tasks: straightening and curling, and preferably in different ways, therefore it is not appropriate to apply a big name, for example, to a classic iron quite correct.

How to style your hair using a multi-styler

If you have a basic understanding of how to use a curling iron, learning to master its more technologically advanced counterpart will not be difficult.

1. Wash your hair and either blow dry your hair or, preferably, let it dry on its own. The strands may be slightly damp, but not wet.
2. Comb your hair and treat it with a heat protectant. Even ceramic panels and tourmaline coating do not negate the damage that high temperatures have on your hair, so this step should not be skipped in any case.
3. Select the desired attachment.
4. Turn on the device and set the temperature you require.
5. Separating narrow strands from the total mass of hair, pass each of them through the selected nozzle, lightly straighten it with your hands and spray with hairspray.

To choose the best product from many similar ones, sometimes you need to conduct real research with data collection and detailed analysis. Or you can do it easier and use a ready-made rating of stylers who broke popularity records last year.

Polaris PHS 2405K

The lack of additional attachments is compensated by the power and convenience of the styler

This device has many advantages: ceramic coating, 5 operating modes, the ability to quickly heat up to 220° thanks to its considerable power. In addition, the styler is equipped with floating plates that change their angle depending on the thickness of the strand, locking when closed, and a power-on indicator indicating the readiness of the device for use. A long (1.5 m) cord with a swivel mount allows you to freely perform any manipulations with the device, and a hanging loop makes it easy to store. In addition, thanks to the rounded sides of the styler, it can be used both to create curls and to straighten them.

After use, the hair shines, you get very beautiful curls and ringlets. The styler straightens perfectly. Another plus is in the assembly itself: it’s impossible to get burned - the design doesn’t allow it. Well, the rotating cord simplifies the installation process several times. With my super thick hair I usually had to struggle for a long time, but here it seems like it’s even easy to curl or straighten.

Scarlett SC-HS60T50

Excellent value for money

The tourmaline coating of the multi-styler protects hair from damage, 5 operating modes allow you to select the desired temperature from a cautious 120° to a severe 200°, a power of 45 W ensures almost instantaneous heating of the plates. The device fits comfortably in your hand, has a swivel cord fastening and small “legs”, thanks to which you can leave it on any surface without fear if, for example, while working you need to disassemble the finished strands with your hands. There is protection against overheating. Of the minuses: some users found the power button too tight.

My sister gave me the Scarlett hair straightening iron for my birthday 2 years ago. I use them quite often. They heat up very quickly. The temperature is adjustable. In just a few minutes, beautiful, smooth, even hair. The styling lasts until the next wash. Its big advantage is that it turns itself off automatically. After all, there are times when you forget to unplug it. The tongs also have a long cord. Will reach any outlet.

BaByliss ST495E

The considerable cost is justified by the presence of additional functions

The main advantages of this device are, firstly, its ability to produce warm steam, which not only moisturizes the hair, but also facilitates the process of creating complex hairstyles, and secondly, its ionization, thanks to which the curls acquire unprecedented softness, become more manageable and healthy . Well, 5 temperature settings, overheat protection, ceramic coating, floating plates and the ability to choose between curling or straightening irons are pleasant bonuses. The only downside is the weight - compared to previous models, the device turned out to be quite massive.

A good straightener, the price is high, but I didn’t regret buying it. Due to steam exposure, the hair does not deteriorate as much from high temperatures and remains moisturized, and ionization maintains its shine. The plates are floating, fit tightly to each other and evenly align each strand. I rate the iron a five plus, I have never had a better one.

BaByliss 2020CE

Experiment with attachments to your heart's content

7 different attachments turn this device into the dream of any woman who loves to try on different images. Lightweight, powerful, with a long cord, a retractable “leg” stand and a feminine design, it does not cause problems in use and copes well with the tasks. The disadvantage of the styler: not all of its attachments can boast of a ceramic coating; some remain clad in metal in the old fashioned way.

A good set of attachments, nice design, heats up quickly. Disadvantages: only 2 plates are ceramic (straightening and corrugation), the rest are ordinary metal, but for me this is not a minus, because I almost never use the other attachments, except for straightening. A good model, very convenient both at home and on the road, I just switch the attachment and everything, so I can carry both the curling iron and the straightener with me.

Polaris PHS 3058K

In addition to several attachments, the kit includes a protective glove for working with the styler

This styler receives rave reviews due to its fairly wide iron, which allows you to cover a large area of ​​hair, reliable attachment of attachments - you can be sure that during operation nothing will come loose or fall off on your head - and a switch button with a ribbed surface, which is especially convenient if hands slip due to the mousse used during styling. Complaints were caused by the time that you have to spend waiting for the device to warm up to the desired temperature, the not very comfortable handle on the “iron” attachment (also known as “corrugation”) and the lack of an auto-shut-off function.

You can do any hairstyle in a few minutes. Heats up quickly. Comfortable in using. My daughter and I have been using it for about a month. We are happy with the purchase. The price is reasonable. We recommend the product.

Philips BHH822 StyleCare

Nothing superfluous: simple, concise, elegant

By purchasing this styler, you immediately get a curling iron, a high-quality straightening iron and a thermal brush for soft curling, gentle straightening and easy styling of curls. And 15 additional accessories and a style guide included with the device will make even a novice user feel like a professional hairdresser. I'm pleased with the OneClick technology for hassle-free changing of attachments, fast heating (45 seconds) and nice design. Disappointing - the lack of a stand and a slightly inflated price.

I waited a long time and now, finally, this miracle is in my hands. All expectations were met, however, as always, Philips does everything at the highest level: functionality, quality, convenience and design - everything for comfort. One wish - if you figure out how, please add a hair dryer attachment. Thanks for the new product, I was surprised

Sinbo SHD-7048

The device is “double-sided”, so changing one attachment to another is not difficult

A simple budget device, sold for a very modest price, has surprisingly high power and a wide range of temperature settings, and the ceramic coating, power indicator and two “superpowers”: smoothing curls and curling them by switching the nozzle to different positions, ensured its recognition among buyers . The styler fully fulfills its purpose.

Several temperature modes. Ceramic coating of the plates - hair does not stick to the straightener. Can be used for crimping or curling. Very good latches, the device body is highly durable, the maximum temperature is 220 degrees. The combination of minimal weight and a cable that rotates 360 degrees allows you to avoid getting tangled in wires during operation.

DEWAL 03–307 Fantasy

Once again we are convinced that everything ingenious is simple

Another more than budget baby, which is a classic “2 in 1” styler: a curling iron and a straightening iron. And don’t let the ridiculous price scare you away, everything here is grown-up: tourmaline coating, floating plates and, despite not the highest power, an operating temperature of 200°. What the styler lacks is mode switching. It will not be possible to choose gentle conditions for damaged curls.

If I had known that there was such a convenient styler, I would not have bought a straightening iron and a separate curling iron before. This tool perfectly combines both a straightener and a curling iron. It heats up very quickly, evenly, the coating of the canvas is ceramic-tourmaline, it does not spoil the hair and gives it shine. Heating temperature up to 200 degrees

When it comes to creating an attractive look, beautiful hair is half the battle. Without them - well-groomed, silky, styled in a beautiful hairstyle - it is extremely difficult to remain charming and bring the hearts of others to your feet. But with a miniature assistant, a styler with a minimal set of functions, monitoring the condition of your hair is not difficult. And if the device you purchased is equipped with additional attachments and “skills” such as ionization or a steam generator, your curls will not only gain beauty, but will also remain healthy, no matter how many styling sessions they have to do.

What is a multistyler

A multistyler is a household electrical appliance designed for hair styling and includes several replaceable attachments. The main feature of the multi-styler is that it alone can replace several styling devices at once - hair dryer, curling iron, curling iron, straightening iron.

Based on the principle of operation, there are two types of multistylers:

1. Air. The device works on the principle of a hair dryer - it supplies hot air, which heats the nozzle and allows you to style your hair. Such devices in store catalogs are often referred to as a hair dryer brush, although the package may include not only different types of brushes, but also a curling iron and corrugation;

2. With heated platform . In this case, hot air is not supplied, and the nozzles are heated by the built-in heating element.

There are also two types of multi-stylers according to the type of structure:

1. With replaceable nozzles - the nozzle is fixed on the base handle, if necessary, it can be removed and replaced with another one;
2. Without replaceable attachments - in this case, all attachments are already built into the design - all that remains is to choose where to place the strand. Typically, multi-stylers-tongs with two or three types of corrugation and a straightener have this design.

The models also differ among themselves in the number of attachments included and in technical characteristics - read more about this below in “How to choose a multi-styler.”

The advantages of the multistyler in comparison with other household styling devices are obvious:

• Multifunctionality. The abundance of attachments allows you to create curls of different diameters with one device, straighten your hair, and give it volume using a corrugation;
• Space saving . There is no need to fill your dressing table with 3-4 different appliances - all tasks are solved by one device.

Minuses:

• The heating of the device may be weak, which will affect both the styling result and the duration of its wear . This problem is especially common with brush hair dryers, which are heated by hot air.

The multistyler is certainly a useful device, but not all girls should buy it - it all depends on your lifestyle, love for styling and hairstyle habits. If you like experiments, constantly change your hairstyles, choose either curls or perfectly straight strands, the multi-styler will be a real salvation and will help you save not only space in your drawer, but also money.

If you do curls once every two years and prefer a specific hairstyle, for example, soft voluminous curls, then it is better not to spend money on a multi-styler, but to buy a good hair dryer or curling iron. The first two weeks, perhaps, you will actively use all the attachments, but then you will choose one, and all the others will just lie in the closet.

What is a styler and what is it for?

First of all, styler is the latest hair styling tool.
Yes, in appearance it may resemble a regular curling iron, but the principle of operation of the styler is far from its predecessors. The principle of operation of curling irons and irons was the contact of the surface of the hair with a hot element, where, under the influence of high temperature and a given shape of the nozzle, the hair acquired the desired shape. The styler has the same principle, but if you can curl only one type of curl with a curling iron, then the styler, using special attachments, makes it possible to curl all possible types of curls with different attachments.

Expensive stylers for more gentle handling of hair include a hot dryer function. Under the influence of which, you can reduce the temperature of the heating element, which will be gentle on your hair. A distinctive feature is the large number of attachments sold with it.

Thus, it turns out that the wireless styler allows you to create all types of curls, both vertical and horizontal, retro hairstyles, beach wave effect and much more, with minimal time and without resorting to the help of stylists.

The nozzles themselves are usually made in the form of round and flat shapes of various sizes with a perforated base.

How to use the multistyler

Any styling is done on clean, dry hair. Therefore, you must first wash your hair and dry it thoroughly. And also all hot hairdressing tools are used with a thermal protective agent applied to the hair so as not to burn the upper cuticular layer.

How to use a multistyler correctly?

1. Comb dry hair.
2. With the tool turned off, install the required attachment.
3. Connect the device to the electrical network.
4. If the multi-styler has the ability to select different temperature modes, then set the one that suits your hair type.
5. Apply a heat protectant.
6. Secure the strands with clips and begin styling starting from the lower layers.

To replace the nozzle, you need to unplug the device from the outlet, wait until the plate cools down and replace it with another one.

We should not forget that the multi-styler is still an electric tool, so you cannot use it while standing barefoot on a wet bathroom floor!

Hair straightening and crimping iron with a power of 25 W. 4 types of replaceable aluminum plates. Power indicator light. Constant heating temperature. Dimensions: 290x92x63 mm.

Description Where to buy (7)

The inexpensive Chinese multi-styler Kelli KL-1204 is not for curls: straightening, light waves or corrugation - it can handle this. The KL-1204 body consists of two parts equipped with heated plates that can be changed. In addition to the flat one, the set includes 3 more wave-shaped attachments. They are made of aluminum: the material is not very suitable for brittle hair.

The device has a low heating rate - you will need to wait a couple of minutes to start styling. The maximum power of the device is only 25 W - for high-quality straightening you will need to be patient, because you will have to hold the curling iron on one section of hair for a long time. The heating of the device can be indicated by the light on the handle.

Multistyler with a set of attachments

A device with different interchangeable attachments provides much more opportunities for creating spectacular hairstyles. Sold as a set or separately.

Types of nozzles

There are about ten types of nozzles, namely:

• Cylinder for curl shapes - from small curls to large waves. Sold with or without clip. It is more convenient to use the first one, since before winding it securely fixes the tip of the strand.
• Taper styler – waves can be changed from roots to ends.
• Straightening iron.
• Brush for volume at the roots.
• Nippers for giving relief.

Models with wide attachments are more suitable for long hair, while narrow ones are more suitable for short and medium hair. Girls who want to save money on daily hair styling prefer products with automatic curling.

Choosing a suitable device is not difficult when you know the characteristics of your hair, the most important parameters for convenient and safe use, as well as which companies you can trust.

The above nuances will help you make the right choice. The result is elegant, interesting, stylish or daring hairstyles. Thanks to modern products, you can easily learn how to make them yourself, change them and surprise others every day.
