The best automatic curling irons

Typically, automatic curling irons are not cheap, but Sencor's model proves that a convenient, practical and multifunctional device can have a very reasonable price tag. For an attractive price, you get even more than you would expect from such a device. It uses a titanium coating on the heating element, which ensures smooth gliding and does not catch hairs. The curling iron is ready for curling within 45 seconds after turning it on, which is especially important in the morning or when you are late. And the number of settings is really impressive, because by changing them, you can create different looks and experiment with hairstyles.

So, the most important thing is that you independently choose the direction of rotation of the nozzle (right or left) so that the curls on both sides of the face are symmetrical. The next step is to set the required temperature depending on the type and characteristics of the hair. There are as many as 11 modes, from the lowest (120 degrees) to the highest (220 degrees) temperature, so everyone can find suitable settings. This is followed by 5 rotation speeds and 10 winding time modes - from 3 to 12 seconds, which determines the shape and elasticity of the curls. Thus, just one curling iron gives you the opportunity to create different hairstyles and try something new every time. Conveniently, the device is equipped with a display that displays all selected settings.

Unlike most models with a closed design, Sencor SHS 0900GD is more reminiscent of a regular straight curling iron, during which you can observe and control the curling process. But do not forget about safety, as careless handling can lead to burns. After 60 minutes of inactivity, the heating automatically turns off, so forgotten equipment will not be a problem.

In addition, the model received a 2-meter rotating cord with a loop for hanging and a case included in the package for convenient storage and transportation.

The Beurer automatic curling iron belongs to the middle price segment and is a fairly simple model for ordinary home use. Unlike most devices on the market, the curling iron has an open chamber - this design will definitely be appreciated by users who are afraid of hair getting tangled inside the device. In this case, firstly, the heating element rotates quite slowly, so the strand is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the cylinder. Secondly, the open chamber allows you to control the process and, if force majeure occurs, release the curl without any problems. But at the same time, the manufacturer also took care of safety: a long cool-touch Cool-Touch tip and four “petals” on top of the heating element protect your fingers from burns.

The heating element is coated with ceramic and tourmaline. This combination of high-quality materials ensures uniform and fast heating, easy glide of hair and removal of static electricity. Although tourmaline is a natural source of ions, the Beurer HT75 is equipped with an ionization system. Moreover, on the heater itself there are as many as 4 holes for the exit of negatively charged ions. When you curl the strands, they settle on the hair and make it shinier, smoother and silkier.

The automatic curling iron is equipped with a heating element with a diameter that is not too large, but not small either. As a result, you get more natural curls for almost any hair length - not tight, but sufficiently formed curls that will not fall apart in an hour or two. A total of 3 temperature modes are available: 170, 190 and 210 degrees. The choice is small, but, in general, these settings are enough to work with any type of hair: low temperature is suitable for thin, brittle and bleached hair, medium for normal hair, and maximum for thick, dense and unruly hair.

The heater automatically rotates when you press a button, and you choose the direction of movement (left or right) so that the hairstyle is symmetrical. The timer counts down the time required for curling and when it has expired, it beeps, indicating the need to remove the strand. Unfortunately, there are no settings for this time - only a standard timer for 12 seconds. And this limits the ability to experiment with the duration of curling and, accordingly, with the result. For example, 12 seconds may not be enough for long hair or, conversely, too much for light waves. Of course, you can take out the strand earlier or hold it longer, but then you will have to keep track of the time yourself, and this will no longer be a completely automatic process.

BaByliss specializes in professional hair styling devices, so an automatic curling iron will help you create salon-like hair without leaving home. A big plus of the model is its flexible settings, which allow you to experiment with curls and reduce the negative impact of high temperatures. Firstly, it not only automatically curls curls, but also gives you the opportunity to choose one of three curling directions: right, left, or alternately in different directions. Secondly, three temperature settings are available: 190, 210 and 230 degrees. For example, the minimum temperature is the most gentle, which is especially important for colored and weakened hair, while the maximum temperature is more suitable for curly and unruly hair.

Thirdly, the device allows you to independently choose the duration of curling the strand. There are also three modes: 8, 10 and 12 seconds, after which the device will sound signals and stop heating. This will help create different curls: light waves or tighter and bouncier curls that will last a long time even without the use of additional styling products.

But still, the main highlight of the model is the Hydrotherm technology. Simply put, a curling iron not only curls curls, but also saturates them with steam while working. As a result, the strands are moisturized, not overdried, smoother and shiny. To do this, you simply need to fill a special reservoir with distilled water. It is also worth noting the ceramic coating, which ensures uniform heating of the curl and eliminates overheating.

Since BaByliss has cut her teeth on professional devices, she perfectly understands that a curling iron should not only be effective, but also comfortable and safe to use. First of all, the automatic shutdown function is responsible for this, which will be appreciated by users who constantly forget to disconnect home appliances from the network. This function works in several stages: after 20 minutes the curling iron goes into standby mode, reducing the heating to 150 degrees, and after another 40 minutes the device turns off completely.

In addition, the model has a fairly long (2.7 m) rotating cord that will not twist and limit movement during operation.

The automatic curling iron belongs to the collection of devices created in collaboration between Rowenta and the brand of the famous fashion designer and designer Karl Lagerfeld, and offers the buyer good value for money. No, the model definitely cannot be called budget, but high-quality materials, flexible settings and ease of use fully justify its cost.

The curling iron has a closed design, that is, the heating element is hidden inside and is not capable of even accidentally burning your hands. The device works on the principle of a regular straight curling iron of medium diameter and creates natural curls with classic spiral curls. In this case, the curl lasts quite a long time (although it all depends on the structure and characteristics of the hair), and styling will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes for hair of medium length and thickness.

To make the curling even more gentle, the heating element has a tourmaline coating. This is a material with a natural ionicization effect, which helps reduce static electricity and makes hair more manageable, well-groomed and shiny.

Thanks to its advanced settings, the styler is suitable for all hair types and curls of different shapes. Firstly, there are 3 temperature settings to choose from: 170, 200 and 230 degrees. In general, this is enough to work with both thin, weakened hair and thick, curly and unruly hair. Secondly, there are 4 curl duration settings: 6, 8, 10 and 12 seconds. The more time the strand spends inside, the clearer the finished curl will be. At the same time, when choosing time settings, we also recommend taking into account the condition of the hair, because prolonged heating can negatively affect damaged hair. At the end of the set time, the timer beeps.

In addition, the manufacturer took care of operational safety: after 20 minutes of continuous operation, the device will reduce the heating temperature, and after 60 minutes of inactivity it will automatically turn off.

The Philips styler has a fairly high price tag, but is distinguished by the presence of proprietary technologies that are designed to make curling more effective and safe. First of all, this is the SenseIQ intelligent system. It includes a special digital sensor that measures hair temperature more than 36,000 times per styling session, and a smart microprocessor that adapts heating in real time. Thus, the main task of SenseIQ technology is to provide personalized heating settings, prevent hair from drying out and help it retain natural moisture.

In addition, the ionization function takes care of hair health: negatively charged ions eliminate static charge, smooth cuticles and add shine, smoothness and silkiness. In general, exposure to high temperatures still has a negative effect on hair, but Philips has tried to reduce this harmful effect to a minimum.

The manufacturer assures that, compared to its predecessors, the automatic curling iron has an elongated curling cylinder and allows it to capture more hair. In fact, the heating element can hardly be called long - its size is enough for quick curling of short hairstyles and medium-length hair, but those with long hair will have to take small strands and spend more time on styling. But you don't have to worry about safety. Protective “petals” of the case prevent finger contact with the hot surface. The coating of the cylinder is quite smooth, so the hair glides easily without catching or getting stuck inside. And if you style your hair incorrectly or try to curl too much hair, the styler will automatically turn off and allow you to easily release your hair.

The automatic curling iron settings make it possible to work with hair of any type and achieve different results. Thanks to 3 temperature settings (170, 190 and 210 degrees), you can choose the optimal heating depending on the condition, thickness and thickness of your hair. Selecting the direction of rotation (right, left or alternately) guarantees a neat, symmetrical hairstyle. And the timer will monitor the duration of the curl, signaling the end with a sound alert. Moreover, there are 3 time settings to choose from: 8, 10 and 12 seconds. In the first case, you get light, natural curls, in the second - more noticeable curls, and in the third - elastic, clear curls. The curling time also depends on the thickness and length of the hair: if you have long, unruly hair that doesn’t retain its shape well, it’s better to keep it in longer.

To make use not only effective, but also convenient, the styler boasts fast heating (only 30 seconds after switching on), an auto-shut-off function after 60 minutes, a hanging loop, a 2-meter cord with a swivel base that does not twist or get tangled during installation, as well as a special accessory for cleaning the cylinder included in the delivery set.
