They will do all the work for you: TOP 5 automatic curling irons

The model of the Italian brand Cecotec stands out from competitors with its shape - the device looks like a torch. In fact, this design makes it easier to work with the device, because thanks to the vertical position, you do not need to raise your arms and strain your back, which will relieve pain during prolonged use. An ergonomic tapered handle is provided for a comfortable grip, and a long 3-meter cord rotating at the base, and even with a hanging loop, will not limit movement and eliminate the need to stand at the outlet. All this makes the process less tedious to achieve better results.

Although the curling iron is an inexpensive device, its capabilities have caught up with its more expensive competitors, and even surpassed some. Judge for yourself - here is everything you need for quick and careful installation. Thus, there are as many as 6 temperature modes from 130 to 230 degrees depending on the type and condition of the hair, curling time settings (from 3 to 12 seconds) and a button for selecting the direction of rotation of the nozzle - left or right. All the necessary information is displayed on the backlit display, sound signals notify you when the curl is complete, and what’s most convenient is that after use, the styler remembers the selected settings so that you don’t have to enter them again the next time you use it.

Cecotec Bamba SurfCare 850 can also be praised for its quality materials. Firstly, it claims a brushless digital motor, which is usually used in high-end professional devices. This is a durable motor that provides maximum power without unnecessary noise. It is complemented by a ceramic coating of the heating element, which is valued for fast and uniform heating. In addition, it uses argan oil and keratin, which give hair a healthy shine.

TRISTAR HD-2399 is an automatic curling iron that, first of all, impresses with its low price tag and, after purchase, with its versatility. It has everything that more expensive models offer, including numerous settings that allow you to choose the optimal values for a specific hair type and desired effect. Firstly, the temperature is adjustable from 130 to 230 degrees. Definitely, the advantage is that there is both quite low and high temperature, so choosing the required heating will not be a problem. Secondly, you can adjust the curling time - from 5 to 12 seconds. The higher this number, the more elastic the curls will be. Thirdly, to make the styling look more natural, the curling iron offers you to choose the direction of movement: left, right or automatically. By the way, the diameter of the heating element is 25 mm - perhaps this is the most universal value, as it is suitable for different lengths of hair and forms not too small curls, but not light waves that risk falling apart after a few hours.

The manufacturer also made sure that working with the device was convenient and safe. Thus, ceramics are used to cover the heating element - a material that is characterized by uniform heating, does not dry out the hair and provides easy glide without catching or tearing out hairs. The controls are intuitive, and all selected parameters are shown on the display. The rotating cord does not get tangled during operation, but it is not too long - 1.8 m. Nowadays this is the norm for household appliances, so you will have to choose a place near the outlet or use an extension cord.

The delivery set includes a special cover that protects the device from debris and dust during storage.

The automatic curling iron from the famous brand BaByliss, which is known for its high-quality professional styling devices, is a device with a straight 25 mm cylinder. This is the most common diameter, which is suitable for both short and long hair, resulting in more natural curls. At the same time, the model gives scope for experimentation, allowing you to set settings for different densities and shapes of curls. So, this is influenced by the duration of the curl (8, 10 and 12 seconds) and temperature (from 180 to 230 degrees). The last indicator is also selected according to hair type. In addition, for a more natural effect, the device allows you to choose the direction of movement - left, right or alternately.

All settings are shown on the display. True, there is quite a lot of information on it, so at first it is better to use the instructions to understand what’s what. But the buttons for switching modes are slightly recessed into the body, which should prevent accidental presses.

To ensure that the curling is not only effective, but also gentle on the hair, the manufacturer chose ceramics as the material for coating the heating element. In general, this is the most popular solution, since ceramics are quite strong, provide uniform heating and good glide due to their smoothness. And if we add an ionization system to it, we get non-dried hair that retains its natural moisture and shine. Moreover, the curls become softer, look well-groomed and do not become electrified, thus not compromising the integrity of the hairstyle. By the way, the model beeps after a specified time has elapsed or if the strand is tangled.

Since BaByliss specializes in professional equipment, its devices are often equipped with everything necessary for comfortable work. An automatic curling iron is a device in itself that makes the life of any woman much easier, but it can also be more convenient if you add a long (2.5 meters) cord with a rotating base and an auto-shut-off system, which will protect the device from overheating.

The Rowenta curling iron is equipped with a heating element with a diameter of 23 mm to create both light waves and structured curls, and thanks to this independent assistant, it will take only 10 - 15 minutes to create a hairstyle. And thanks to flexible settings, you can count on an individual result: four curling time modes (6, 8, 10 and 12 seconds) allow you to select the density of the finished curl, and three temperature modes (170, 200 and 230 degrees) allow you to select the optimal heating depending on the type hair. The result is 12 combinations, although it still lacks directional control. The manufacturer claims that the curling iron automatically changes direction, but it would be better if this could be adjusted manually.

Using the device is quite simple: select the settings, wait the 30 seconds required for heating, lay the strand as shown in the instructions and hold down the button until four beeps sound - this means that the curl is ready. By the way, the button for starting rotation is as convenient as possible: it is located in a good place so that your finger can always reach it, and is increased in size so that your hand can easily find it on the body. In addition, the device is not weighty, so even with prolonged use there should be no discomfort.

The undoubted advantage of an automatic curling iron is that not only your fingers are protected, but also your hair, because, like most modern stylers, it is aimed at a more gentle effect on the hair. To do this, Rowenta uses a special Cashmere Keratin coating with argan oil, which should preserve the strength and health of the hair, adding smoothness and shine. In successful tandem, the ionization function works with it, which saturates the curls with negatively charged ions and removes static electricity.

For the safety of the device itself, an auto shut-off system is provided. After 20 minutes of inactivity, the device goes into sleep mode, reducing the temperature to 170 degrees, and after another 40 minutes it turns off completely. A nice bonus is the included case for storage and transportation.

Philips was at the forefront of creating automatic curling irons and over time improved its devices, giving them new functions and capabilities to improve performance. The Philips 8000 Series BHB886 is precisely a modern model with the same innovations that greatly improved efficiency and safety, but also affected the price tag. However, we can safely say that the purchase will be worth the money spent on it. First of all, one cannot fail to note its design: the curling iron itself has increased in length, thanks to which it is able to capture longer strands, and has a semi-open design. This way you can keep the process under constant control, but at the same time protected from burns. The manufacturer paid special attention to safety, since usually when automatic curling irons are mentioned, many are afraid that the curl will get tangled inside, after which it will only have to be trimmed. Here everything is different: if a strand suddenly gets tangled, the nozzle stops rotating. In addition, there is an auto-shut-off function after 60 minutes, which will protect both the device and your home.

According to user reviews, the curling iron greatly simplifies styling, and the curls last all day even without additional fixation with varnish, foam or mousse. But the most important thing is that the device reduces the negative impact of high temperature on the hair. First of all, SenseiQ technology is designed for this. The essence of its work is that a digital sensor measures the temperature of the hair more than 36 thousand times per session and transmits this data to a microprocessor, which, in turn, regulates the temperature to avoid overheating. Also playing a significant role is the smooth cylinder, which ensures easy gliding and does not tear out hair, and ionization, which removes static electricity and adds additional shine.

Advanced settings also promote gentle curling, as they allow you to select the optimal settings depending on your hair type and the desired effect, be it soft waves or bouncy curls. So, you can choose the temperature (170, 190 or 210 degrees), the time for curling one curl (8, 10 and 12 seconds) and the direction of rotation of the nozzle - left, right or alternating for more naturalness. After this, all that remains is to “charge” the strand - and the device will do everything for you. When the curl is complete, you will hear a sound signal, so you don’t have to keep track of the time yourself.

Among the pleasant little things that the styler is equipped with is a long 2-meter cord that does not hinder movement, and even with a hinged base and a loop for hanging. The delivery set included an accessory for gentle cleaning of the inside of the curling iron and a separator that will help separate the strands of the required thickness.
