The eternal problem of girls: leave voluminous curls or straighten them? Frequent use of a straightening iron is harmful, making hair dull and lifeless. That is why a new device was invented - a straightening comb. Care with this device has become even faster and more convenient. Read more about this comb in our article.
What kind of comb is this?
Externally, the straightener is a regular comb for combing, which is used by almost any woman. It runs on electricity (equipped with a wire) or on a battery or batteries. The device has a built-in heating element, due to which the effect occurs. The brush has numerous teeth that make it easy to comb, does not tangle and heats evenly.
Operating principle of the device
The principle of operation of the straightener generally resembles the operation of a traditional iron.Due to the hot air, the strands are straightened, and due to smooth movements of the hand, combing occurs. Thus, one electrical device combines two important functions for creating a well-groomed hairstyle.
Important! Different types of hair can withstand different temperatures without getting damaged, which is why many straightener models have heat adjustment. For example, curly hair can be subjected to higher temperatures than wavy or straight hair, and blondes need to straighten their hair at lower temperatures than brunettes.
Advantages and disadvantages
Modern brushes have virtually no disadvantages. Most of them are made from quality materials. The only significant disadvantage that users themselves create is the possibility of hair damage due to high temperatures. In this case, it is recommended to read the instructions more carefully and set the heating depending on your “preferences”.
Among the advantages of the device are the following:
versatility. The comb is suitable for both straight and curly hair;
- speed of installation. The device heats up to the desired temperature in a matter of minutes, and creating a hairstyle takes from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the initial base;
- compactness. The straightener takes up no more space than an ordinary comb, so it is convenient to take on trips;
- absolutely safe to use. The device does not dry out and combs well. The ends do not become brittle, and the ionizing effect (this function is present in almost all modern thermal hair brushes) has a beneficial effect on shine and thickness;
- During combing, a head massage occurs. Point pressure of the teeth effectively stimulates the hair follicles.
Can a comb cause harm?
A brush is much gentler on your hair than a straightening iron. It can only cause harm if the girl does not use thermal protection and sets the temperature too high. Thanks to the ceramic or tourmaline coating, most combs do not damage the hair or dry it out.
How to use it correctly?
Straightening your hair with an electric brush couldn't be easier. For this:
- wash your hair and dry completely with a hairdryer or naturally;
- connect the thermal comb to the electricity, set the required temperature;
- apply thermal protection and comb with a regular brush or comb;
- After heating the comb, start straightening. To do this, divide your hair into separate strands and slowly comb each of them. Make smooth movements until everything is aligned.
Important! Never treat wet hair! The comb heats up to high temperatures; this will have an unfavorable effect on wet curls.
What else can be done with such a rectifier?
Modern thermal combs have other functions besides straightening. For example:
- drying. The device dries and straightens at the same time. It is often shaped like a round brush;
- There is an additional reservoir for liquid. You can add water to some models to make it possible to straighten even the most stubborn curls with steam. Other devices add medications or cosmetics to eliminate fragility, dryness, etc. It is best to use them only after consultation with a trichologist or cosmetologist;
- with ionization. The thermal brush releases ions that prevent hair from becoming electrified, saturate it with oxygen, and make it shiny and smooth.
Differences from hair straightener
The main difference between a brush and a straightening iron is the straightening method. Using a comb is much safer to straighten: the strands do not get tangled and individual hairs are not pulled out. In addition, many professional hairdressers note that after regular use of a thermal comb, the quality of the hair does not deteriorate, which cannot be said about a regular curling iron.
Original, fake - how to choose a hair straightener?
When choosing an electric toothbrush, rely on reviews from other consumers. Buy only original devices from well-known brands. Among the companies that have similar units in their assortment are:
- Philips;
- Brown;
- Babyliss;
- Fast Hair Straightener.
Cheap analogues are made from low-quality materials that can damage well-groomed hair. Externally, the fake also does not look the best: lack of balls on the teeth, uneven joints or surface. The quality of your hairstyle directly depends on the quality of the device.
