With the acceleration of the pace of life, people want to make hairstyles more convenient, efficient and long-lasting, and the appearance of curling irons just meets people's wishes. Curling irons are also known as hair straighteners and hair clippers, with which we can make our own hairstyles, and we can easily have straight and curly hair, which greatly saves the time of hairstyling. However, recently, I have heard many friends complaining, saying that the setting effect of a single use of the curling iron is very poor, the hair is easy to knot and is not smooth, like a straw messy, and the hair loss is very serious after long-term use, so some friends have raised questions: Does the curling iron hurt the hair? As a professional evaluator who has worked in the home appliance evaluation industry for many years, let me do an evaluation science for you today to teach you to avoid the harm caused by inferior products.
Here are some of the curling irons I recently reviewed.
oneDo curling irons hurt your hair? DoxxingFourBig risk shady
Do curling irons hurt your hair? A professional and high-quality curling iron will not damage the hair, but if it is an inferior curling iron, it will inevitably bring damage to the hair, the reason is that the functional structure design of the inferior curling iron is defective, and at the same time, it has not undergone repeated technical adjustments, and the hair becomes dry and yellow after a single styling, which seriously affects the personal image. Today, in order to figure out the true face of low-quality curling irons, I searched a lot of information on the Internet and summarized a list of the four common risks of low-quality curling irons:
1. One-shot styling effectComparePoor
There are a variety of curling iron brands on the market today, which are mixed with a lot of low-cost and inferior products, such inferior curling irons have poor single-shot styling effect, and the styling time is not long-lasting, and the hair is prone to serious frizz, dryness and other undesirable conditions after a single styling, which eventually leads to poor hair quality, and hair is like being over-permed, which has an adverse impact on people's personal image and temperament.
2. MaterialsPoor quality and pungent odor
In this case, if you use an unprofessional curling iron, it will further aggravate the hair problem, which will lead to dull hair, lack of toughness, frizz, yellowing, knotting, split ends and many other problems will follow. In addition, inferior products are also inferior in the selection of materials, and inferior materials will produce irritating odors during use, which will not only affect the use experience, but also cause potential safety hazards.
3. The temperature control is unstable, resulting in damage to the hair
Many unprofessional curling iron merchants, in order to blindly pursue profits, mostly use inferior materials as heating elements, such products not only have a slower heating rate and poor operation stability, the speed of the entire product heat dissipation is too fast, and the hair is often heated unevenly, and the long-term styling effect cannot be achieved. During use, the temperature fluctuates and fluctuates, and if the temperature is too high, it will cause damage to the hair and eventually bring irreversible damage to the hair.
4. Lack of anti-scald design, there is a risk of burns
Curling irons themselves are ironed at high temperatures to achieve a long-lasting holding effect, but many low-quality curling irons lack anti-scald design, which is fundamentally unreasonable, and it is conceivable that once people use these products with defective anti-scalding design, the risk of being burned by the curling iron will also be greatly increased, so remember to stay away from such products that lack anti-scalding design.
II. II. IIDoxxingInferior qualityCurly hairThere are drawbacksofBig FourRoots
Do curling irons hurt your hair? Poor quality curling irons have poor temperature control and uneven heating of the hair during the styling process, which not only does not have a good styling effect, but also can potentially damage the hair in the long run. Therefore, in order to understand the reasons for the harm of inferior curling irons, so as to avoid risks, I deliberately collected data analysis statistics on the main negative evaluation of curling irons from authoritative institutions (see the figure below for details). Also, on the basis of this data chart, I have summarized the reasons why low-quality curling irons are dangerous:
1: ProfessionalLow level of technology
Inferior curling irons tend to have a lower level of expertise. Some low-quality curling irons have poor temperature control technology and unstable temperature, which will cause problems such as split ends, yellowing, and frizz after use. And professional curling iron brands are the opposite. Professional brands generally have advanced R&D technology and stronger professional strength. Styling your hair with these products is more effective for straightening and curling, and it also takes better care for your hair and scalp. Here, it is also recommended that if you need to buy a curling iron in the future, the key is to see if it is a brand with professional technology, such products have been professionally adjusted, not only to nourish the hair and scalp, but also to have a more durable and comfortable styling experience.
2: Temperature controlPoor accuracy and risk of injury
Poor quality curling irons can be checked for temperature control accuracy, which can lead to the risk of hair injury. Most of the inferior curling irons have the defect of excessive temperature fluctuations, and the poor temperature control technology leads to the temperature cannot be controlled within a reasonable range. Sometimes the perm temperature is too low to achieve the desired perm effect. You also need to pull your hair repeatedly to increase friction between the strands. However, repeating this procedure many times can harm the health of your hair and scalp. On the other hand, if the temperature of the curling iron is too high, it will excessively evaporate the moisture and protein in the hair. It can be seen that using a low-quality curling iron will cause serious damage to the hair quality.
: Heating elementThe material is of inferior quality and the uniformity is insufficient
As an important part of the curling iron, the heating element is very important. Some low-quality curling irons use inferior materials as heating elements inside, and they have not undergone professional technical testing, and often have abnormalities such as unstable temperature and insufficient uniformity of heat distribution. Imagine that when the whole heated part of a curling iron can only be concentrated in one section, then this section of hair will be overheated, and eventually cause hair damage. Other unheated hair has a significant lack of temperature, and the resulting hairstyle is certainly not ideal. All in all, the heating element of a low-quality curling iron is of inferior quality, and the lack of uniformity will cause a great deal of damage to the hair.
NopeAnti-attenuationfunction, easy to cause hair damage
Many low-quality curling irons do not have anti-decay function, which can easily cause hair damage. A high-quality curling iron is inseparable from the anti-attenuation design, but many inferior curling irons cannot reach the technical level in this regard, and some directly have no anti-attenuation function. As a result, many product functions such as the original heating performance, temperature control accuracy, and negative ion penetration adsorption effect of the curling iron will become weaker and weaker over time. In this case, the hair will be subjected to excessive heat damage for a long time, and the original negative ion penetration adsorption effect will also be weakened, and the health of the hair will be greatly affected.
3. Summarize the five advantages brought by a high-quality curling iron
Do curling irons hurt your hair? The professional and high-quality curling iron has undergone many technical adjustments, so that it will not hurt the hair, and the style will last longer and be excellent. With both straight hair and curly hair, it can also be suitable for a variety of different hair types, most people have problems such as lack of hair nutrition, so it is important to use a professional curling iron. Here I also specifically summarize the top five advantages of a good curling iron:
Stronger compatibility and adaptability to a wide range of hair types
A high-quality, professional curling iron can easily be used on a variety of hair types, from soft hairstyles to coarse hairstyles. For soft hair, lower temperatures and lighter clamping forces can be used, which can avoid hair damage; For coarse and stiff hair, the temperature can be appropriately increased and the clamping force can be increased to achieve a better softening and styling effect.
Sets faster and lasts longer
A high-quality curling iron can help users achieve a quick hold. With a simple clipping method, you can curl and straighten your hair to create different styles of overall hairstyles. The appearance of the curling iron is definitely a very convenient artifact for friends who frequently change their hairstyles.
EasyMeet individual needsfor a variety of hairstyles
Curling irons can cater to the various preferences and needs of different groups of people. Use a curling iron to choose the right temperature and time according to your personal preference and hair type, and create a variety of different styles by curling, straightening, buttoning, turning out, etc. Whether it's wavy curls and straight hair, or a fluffy hairstyle with personality, you can achieve it freely with a curling iron.
High safety performance, reduce hair heat damage
High-quality curling iron products are generally safer and more secure. In terms of safety, curling irons are safer than traditional perms and hair coloring, because the whole temperature of curling irons is relatively low in the process of perming hair, and the heating time of the hair is generally shorter in each use.
5. OperationSimpler and easier to understandSaveTime
The curling iron is easier to operate and more time-saving. With a curling iron, you can quickly complete the styling of your hair, even for inexperienced beginners, and it also saves time going to the barber shop and the trouble of spending a lot of time on your hair after waking up every morning.
Through the above, we all know what benefits high-quality curling irons can bring us, and I believe that many people want to buy a high-quality product that suits them. Therefore, in order to help you identify high-quality curling irons faster, I also found the core data analysis chart of the TOP10 straight curling iron brands evaluated and sorted out by professional authoritative institutions.
There are many products in the straight curling iron industry that have poor single-shot styling results, and are prone to dry hair and frizz like straw after a single styling, which greatly affects personal image!

FourSixGreatPurchasing skills must be mastered
Do curling irons hurt your hair? Inferior curling irons do hurt hair. The curling iron products produced by professional brands have a better shaping effect and are suitable for a wider range of people. But there are too many curling iron brands on the market at present, which is dazzling, so how to buy high-quality curling irons? Today, I've put together some guides to the selection of high-quality curling irons through my years of experience.
Choose products that combine curly and straight hair
Generally speaking, we divide straight curling irons into three different types: curling irons, straightening combs, and straight curling irons. Straight curling iron will frequently occur problems such as fixed curl angle and poor styling effect, which will easily lead to ** burns, and the straight hair comb has limitations, which can only be used for straight hair styling, and it is easy to hurt the scalp. The third kind of straight curl integrated product can be compatible with straight hair and curly hair two functions, and also adds a temperature adjustment design, can flexibly adjust the temperature according to different hair types and different needs, usually suitable for a variety of different hair types and thicknesses of hair, in addition, the curl angle of this product is more flexible and diverse, which can make the straight hair style more durable, and the perm effect is better.
CertificationsExpertiseStrongBrands
Many curling iron merchants exaggerate and falsely advertise the use effect and functional parameters of the product in order to increase sales for performance. The curling irons produced by professional brands pay more attention to the adjustment of various technologies, including the speed of heat compensation, the accuracy of temperature control, the penetration and adsorption effect of negative ions, the hair protective film, and the introduction of essential oils. In addition, the products of professional brands will also be implanted with high-end technologies such as negative ion penetration technology and biofilm technology. Curling iron products with these technologies can not only keep the styling effect longer, but also effectively reduce the degree of damage caused by high temperatures, and help to nourish the hair and care for the scalp.
3. Anti-attenuation technology is preferred
Curling irons work at high temperatures for a long time, and the internal components will deteriorate or be damaged, resulting in performance degradation, such as unstable temperature output, poor negative ion penetration effect, etc., resulting in hair damage or poor styling effect. The curling iron with anti-attenuation technology will be designed with anti-attenuation of heating performance and negative ion technology, so as to make the curling iron heat more stable and uniform in use, and ensure that the negative ion is effective for the long-term maintenance of hair, and the product is more solid and durable.
4. Whether there is biofilm technology implantation
Hair usually needs a high temperature of more than 150 degrees to be softened and set, and high temperature will cause damage to the hair, so it is better to choose a curling iron with biofilm technology, biofilm technology refers to the addition of bioactive ingredients or nutrients to the surface of the curling iron, when the curling iron is in contact with the hair and the appropriate temperature is applied, the active ingredients in the biofilm will be released and penetrate into the hair, and form a moisturizing protective film on the surface of the hair, thereby isolating the damage to the hair caused by the high temperature of the curling iron. Ensure that the cuticle is not damaged during the perm process.
Judge if there isEssential oil introduction
Preference is given to curling irons with keratin essential oil induction, which can open the hair cuticle through high temperature and heat, introduce keratin essential oil molecules into the hair strands, and can also promote the binding of essential oil molecules to hair fibers, which can effectively play a role in hair care. Keratin is the main protein component of hair and hair follicles, which can nourish and repair dry and frizzy hair, thereby making hair softer and stronger.
6. Confirm the power of the product
Generally speaking, the higher the power of the curling iron, the higher the upper limit of its heating, in order not to damage the hair, the power of the curling iron is recommended to be kept at about 35W. Because the power is too high, it will lead to an increase in power consumption, and if you buy a curling iron with inaccurate temperature control, there may be potential safety hazards such as leakage and fire. Curling irons that are too low often don't have enough heat to reach the 150 degrees required to soften the hair, and can lead to poor hair styling.
Do curling irons hurt your hair? Through popular science, I believe that everyone understands the advantages and disadvantages of curling irons. After repeated technical adjustment, the professional curling iron can avoid the damage of the inferior curling iron, resulting in damage to the hair such as frizz and dryness, knotting and splitting, yellowing and breakage, etc., at the same time, the professional model also has the performance of hair maintenance, which can nourish the hair well in long-term use, you must be sure to use a professional curling iron!
