Types Of Hair Irons.

Types of hair irons

Curling iron

Curling irons, also known as curling tongs, create waves or curls in the hair. There are many different types of modern curling irons, which can vary by diameter, material, and shape of barrel and the type of handle. The barrel's diameter can be anywhere from .5 inches (1.3 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm). Smaller barrels typically create spiral curls or ringlets, and larger barrels are used to give shape and volume to a hairstyle.

Curling irons are typically made of Teflon, ceramic, tourmaline, metal, or titanium, each of which has its pros and cons. The barrel's shape can either be a cylinder, cone, or reverse cone, and the iron can have brush attachments or double and triple barrels.
The curling iron can also have either a spring-loaded, Marcel, or clipless handle. Spring-loaded handles are the most popular and use a spring to work the barrel's clamp. When using a Marcel handle, named after Marcel Grateau, one applies his or her own pressure to the clamp. Clipless wands have no clamp, and the user simply wraps hair around a rod. Most clipless curling irons come with a Kevlar glove to avoid burns.

Straightening irons

Straightening irons, straighteners, or flat irons, not to be confused with clothing irons, work by breaking down the hair's hydrogen bonds found in the hair's cortex, which cause hair to bend and become curly. Once the bonds are broken, hair is prevented from holding its original, natural form, though the hydrogen bonds can re-form if exposed to moisture. They can also use infrared technology.

Crimping irons

Hair crimping - Crimping irons or crimpers work by crimping hair in sawtooth style. The look is similar to the crimps left after taking out small braids.

Copper...

Copper...

Who can wear it?  Seeing that copper red hair can range from a warm light strawberry blonde to a high lighted deep dark auburn . . . it has the leeway to suit most everyone.

Warm copper red hair is best complimented by those with pale skin tone and green or blue eyes! That combination in my point of view is the quintessential combination that best compliments warm copper red hair.

Cool copper red hair reflects coppery tones on top of deep auburn hair. This darker tone is worn best with cool skin undertones, pale with no colour in cheeks, and medium skin tones that tan easily.

All About Layers.

Whether you have long or short hair, layered hair styles can add a fun and trendy look to your locks. They provide texture, volume and contemporary appeal to any style.

Types of Layered Hair Styles

No matter what length your hair is, layers can help you create a look that flatters your face, adds volume to your locks and interest to your style. Many cuts can be modified with layers, but there are several cuts that work particularly well with them.

Layered Bob

The standard bob hairstyle has been around for decades with good reason. This traditional cut creates a medium length cut that works on many faces and hair types. If you like the length and overall cut of the bob, but desire something a little more interesting, have very thick hair or need to inject a little volume into the style, layers can help.
Add a few long layers to the front of the bob for a softer look. To create an edgier style, start with an inverted bob, then add layers up the back to get rid of some of the hair's weight. The result is an asymmetrical look that can be air or blown dry for various looks.
